Doggies

Heike and I were talking the other day about dogs and such- specifically our own dogs.  She asked me if Rooney and Cayenne still slept together.  We are both in agreement that that is not only really cute, but a special bond.  If you remember, Cayenne was a stray pit bull (mix) that was wondering our neighborhood.  People had called the pound on her and no one would feed her.  When I found her she was underweight and scared- by the time I got her into my house, she wouldn't even leave to go to the bathroom because she was scared she wouldn't get back in.  Rooney really took her under his wing.  

This is a flashback picture- the second day Cayenne stayed at our home.  Rooney and Cayenne were already playing tug-o-war!  Cayenne is just a big as Rooney now- and more muscular.  I can't believe how fast they grow up!

Cayenne is now a bossy, bratty, cute little girl.  She is still hyper and annoys Rooney to no end sometimes, but they are still BFF.  

So, I snuck into the living room Sunday night to see if they were snuggled together, and snapped a picture for Heike.  

On this note- check out my sister's new blog.  It has nothing to do with triathlon or daily life, and everything to do with promoting kindness to animals and educating and inspiring others to help the fight against animal cruelty.

My sister rocks.  We both love animals and talk frequently about our frustrations with society and the things we wish we could do to help.  The difference is- my sister is taking action.  She walks dogs at the Humane Society every single Sunday with her husband, and she is really trying to help make this world a  better place for animals.  Check out her blog- and consider adoption the next time you think about owning a pet.  (adoption- not just for dogs- for kitties too!)
