Caiyenne

She came in as Caiyenne – like pepper Sauce and her name ended up being Cheyenne.

It was a Military family that lived over near the military base and the husband didn’t like her (the dog) They had 3 dogs and her husband said that one of them had to go and he would suggest that it was Cayenne.

So the lady called me and I tried to tell her that you cant just randomly pick which dog you give up. I could understand if it was a legal issue like the building manager says that you can only have two dogs or something like that, but the lady seemed like she just wanted to cower down and do as her husband had told her. Basically when she called me she said that the dog had to be gone by 6pm that day. I was afraid of what the husband might do to the dog, so I immediately drove out there and I picked her up.

Caeyenne was one of the first to go out to one of our new foster homes with an older couple in Boulder called Dee and Mac. They immediately fell in love with her. She was little on the chubby side, but soooooo sweet and they both fell in love with her. I told them, as I tell all of my foster parents, ‘Don’t adopt your first foster dog’ because there are so many other ones come along the line. I speak from experience, because as I did adopt my first foster dog, well not the first, because that was Dolly, but I adopted Jasper, and I have seen alot of dogs and I wish that I could keep alot of them, but there was no telling them. Dee and Mac adopted her and change her name to Cheyenne because they have a summer home in Cheyenne, Wyoming, so they are 6 months in Vegas and 6 months in their summer home, and they still foster for me to this day. Dee is like my second Mom and she always takes care of me. When they are here from October to April, I could fill their house with dogs, and when the see a dog on the website they call me and say, ‘you should send this dog out to us, we will take care of it. ‘ They are just so sweet.

They gave me, the first summer they left for Cheyenne, they gave me this lovely picture of their four dogs on a Thank you card. They adopted 2 dogs from us. Cheyenne and Minnie. And all 4 dogs were on the picture in the window of the car, with Dee sitting in the passenger side with all 4 dogs lined up.

I love it when my adoptive parent send me pictures so all you adoptive parents out there, please keep the pictures of your doxies coming in to us – we love to see how they are doing.
