Wonderful Pets
I know I have talked before about my dog, Cheyanne, but it was a while back. I have had dogs my whole life, but this dog is something very special. Don't get me wrong, they are all special, but I suppose being the first dog that was really mine makes every memory more intense. I was thinking about all the stories I have about her. Kick back while I share a few...
The first day we brought her home she got wedged between the hot tub and the porch beams. We almost had to saw off the posts to get her out. A few minutes after that, Jay closed her ear in the sliding glass door and made a slice in the end of her ear. You can still see it today. Come to think of it, his other dog has a sliced ear as well. He has never been the most graceful person I know. Do you know he has broken almost every glass figurine I own? He even broke our cake top and then secretly took it to be fixed. Bunny trail - sorry about that.
One day I went into the back yard to do something and when I came back she was standing on top of our oak table.
Then there was the time Jay found a 50 cent piece in the yard in her stool along with MY WATCH. It was still ticking. Replaced the band and polished it up. Guess it is a good watch. If I could pin a slogan I would choose "Takes an eating and keeps on ticking".
She bounced off a hubcap of a car that hit her driving by the house. The dog was supposed to stop and see grandma - not run around her and into the street with excitement.
Now I can laugh about the three stairs of carpet, 2 couches, two tables, bras, and numerous pens she devoured. Oh, I can't forget the box of chocolate covered cherries and a whole solid chocolate Easter Bunny. The cherries were my Aunt's Christmas present. The Easter Bunny was shoved between my car seat and the console. She ate both within minutes while we were out of the car.
She is terrified of tumbleweeds when they roll by while she is in the car. She is also not fond of large trucks or the men driving them.
She attacks me when I cry. Also when I try to exercise in the house to a workout video.
We had to chop off 4 inches of her tail because she kept breaking it open and making the walls bloody when she got excited. She almost broke her tail a few years ago when she fell into the ice fishing hole in Gunnison on Valentine's Day. The hole was only about 8 inches wide. She has also had a bone scan, full body x-rays, allergy testing (and treatment), three sets of stitches in her front right paw, and gets chronic ear infections. Her insurance premium is only $200 a year and every year we have made our money back on it. She turns 7 in August.
Jay ate part of her birthday cake last year. He did not know that it was dog sausage and not human food on top of the omelet combination I had made with old eggs and moldy cheese. He didn't even get sick.
I almost had to carry Chey home on the back of Cody last summer after a 20 mile horse back ride. She also ended up wandering off and getting lost that day. My Aunt had to turn and go back up the trail after the ride because she thought they would be waiting at the bottom of the trail. She has never wandered off since.
She only howls at sirens.
She will eat anything except bananas and mushrooms.
She likes pulling a wagon filled with kids.
We competed in agility for almost 4 years before we had to bow out because of her health problems. She would run a perfect course but would be over time so we would be disqualified.
She wears booties and a sweater when we go ice fishing in the winter.
She passes gas and then looks around to see what the noise was.
She stretches in bed and pushes Jay and me off of the edge.
She sits up in bed and waits for me to tell her goodbye before I go to work in the morning. Then she lies back in my spot and sleeps in.
She will let the parrot sit on her nose and likes to lick the hamster. She would kill a cat.
She asks to get on the bed by bouncing her paw on the edge until someone wakes up. She has learned Jay is the only one that will wake up. She has learned not to piss me off while I am sleeping.
Okay, so I have gotten really carried away! Sorry about that but I hope it was as fun to read it as it was to write it. It is Friday! Have a great weekend! Take the dog out!
