Cheyenne 08-406

Profile

Cheyenne is a 4 year old Golden Retriever mix.   Possibly with a spaniel.   She is all golden at heart.   Other than a couple of white patches, white belly and her white "shoes" she looks all golden.   Her hair feels like mink and it is thick.  She is missing the long tail of a golden, which if you have ever almost broke your neck trying to NOT step on the tail of a golden who is laying by your feet, not having a tail might be a good thing for you.   She does not seem to miss it a bit.    When she is happy she wags what is there plus her whole back end.   And she is happy most of the time.

Cheyenne is a sweet good natured girl.  She LOVES to have her belly rub.  She immediately lays down each time you come home hoping for a good rub.    She knows sit, lay, stay and will hold the stay for a long time.   She is a good watch dog as she barks to alert you of anyone coming.   She barks at strangers but once she is introduced will roll over for those belly rubs!!   She is good with other dogs and settled in quickly  with the other fur-kids.    She shares toys most of the time and will play tug of war with ropes.    She is not fierce about guarding toys and food but has given only a small growl to say "that's mine", but stops immediately when told to be quiet.

She loves to wrestle with other dogs but will also lay quietly when it is time to settle down.  She loves to go for rides, walks and loves to go to the doggy park.   She does not seem to want to go swimming even when the other dogs do.   But I don't see her as being afraid of the water either.   It just isn't her thing.     She is current on all her shots but will need to be spayed before being adopted.

The other night after working in the garden, I decide to take time out and sit in the backyard swing.   Cheyenne came running immediately and climbed up in the swing with me.   I don't know a lot about Cheyenne's background, but this made me think this was not the first time she had been in a swing.

She has very cute characteristics that will endure her to your heart.   She crosses her front paws like a proper lady should.   She has the curliest  ears I have ever seen.  She loves to snuggle on the coach and she will keep your feet warm in the winter.

Cheyenne will be at PetSmart Saturday, September 13th if you are interested in meeting her in person.

It is with sadness that we notify you that our beloved Cheyenne 08-406 crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Friday, Feb 23, 2018.   Over the course of the last few months she had completely lost her hearing and her eyesight was diminishing as well.   She rather quickly developed dementia and continued a down hill decline the last 2 weeks with possible seizure activity.  We never knew her DOB but suspect her age was around 13 1/2 years old.   She was the best dog EVER and we will miss her greatly. 

When we are ready to adopt another dog, we will certainly use RAGOM again.  Thanks for allowing us to provide a loving home for her all these years and for allowing her to fill our hearts and home with lots of doggie love.

Sincerely,

Kathee M

From Cheyenne's forever family...

Greetings RAGOM fans -

We just wanted to send a quick update on Cheyenne. We adopted Cheyenne back in September 2008 and she has been such a joy! She is a GR mix - we believe she is part Springer Spaniel. You should see her run through our backyard - the way she jumps reminds us of a deer. It seems as if she has springs on her legs allowing her to simply fly through the air. She never lacks for attention as we are so in love with her.

We had a GR that we raised from puppyhood until she was 12 years of age. We had to put her down in June of 2007 due to some health issues complicated by her age. So needless to say - it is so wonderful to have a dog around again! Just this afternoon we took the kids (ages 3, 7 and 9) sledding at a huge hill not far from our home. We took Cheyenne with and she was so funny. She chased the kids down the hill on their sleds and then would race them to the top only to do it all over again. She certainly got a good workout and is resting as I type this.

Cheyenne came with very little history or information ... but we've said from the beginning that someone's loss was certainly our gain. She is well behaved, playful, affectionate and a pure delight. We are looking forward to the summer months as we like to camp and can't wait to share our adventures with the newest member of our family. Thank you RAGOM for all that you do for these wonderful animals!

Love -
Cheyenne and the M Family
