Shenzi, the Dog of the Day
Name: Shenzi
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Border Collie, Samoyed Mix
Home: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   This is Shenzi, my five year old, female Border Collie/Samoyed mix. We live together in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Shenzi's name means "uncivilized" ... which I didn't know when I had first named her that. But during the first year of her life, Shenzi lived up to her name. As a young Border Collie mix, Shenzi showed extreme intelligence. She learned everything there was to learn about being a good little puppy very quickly, and then she got bored. Add a major touch of separation anxiety, and Shenzi turned out to be, well, quite wacko at times. Shenzi has since grow into a fine (sometimes not so easy to handle) "young lady." She now has the job of keeping all other dogs in the family in line. Shenzi will even "rat" on the others when they have done something wrong. If Shenzi has taught me one thing in life, it's how to be patient!
