Shenoa, the Dog of the Day
Name: Shenoa
Age: Eight years old
Gender: Female Breed: Shepherd mix
Home: Glendale, California, USA
 
   This is my mountain dog Shenoa. She grew up in the wilderness in Northern Arizona and usually behaves like a wild beast when we return to her native lands. She springs through the forest in search of small critters to chase and tries to instigate her favorite game, Kick the Pine Cone, at every chance. It can't be any old pine cone though, she chooses special pine cones and stops in front of them furiously wagging her tail and staring at it intently. That's our cue that she has marked her prey and we kick it down the trail.

    She's a smart creature, although quite territorial especially in her neighborhood. Especially with our kitten who she is secretly her best friend, although she would never admit to it. They try to win our attention by sparring on the living room floor until one of them gets jabbed and runs away. Who needs TV when we have these two clowns.

    I've had Shenoa since she was a puppy and she's been with me through much turmoil and travel. She's an incredible dog and I can't imagine being without her!
