Cheyenne, Mighty Hunter!

Cheyenne is either a small American Staffordshire terrier or a large Staffordshire Bull terrier.  We’re not sure – we were told she was a “staffy”.  She was abandoned in trailer during Hurricane Ike, and her owners, who fled to Florida, were unable to return to Houston.  She ended up with us during the weeks after Ike, and she’s never left.  She is kenneled when we are away, because she can be kind of single-minded sometimes.
                                                   MOM!  Let me OUTTA HERE!

Here’s an example – she is great at finding and eliminating vermin in the yard.  She and Maggie, the aging boxer, have located something beneath a pile of lumber on one side of our yard. 
                                                       It's right in there, guys - go get it!
With a little direction from Chip, the Chihuahua, and some assistance from JC (AKA “daddy”), they routed out and eliminated a nest of baby rodents – good dogs, no rats in the yard!

GOT it, Dad!  I'm a GOODGOOOODGIRRRL!
