Hi,
my name is Sierra! I'm an English Setter - a field bred Black Belting
English Setter to be exact. My ancestors were bred to hunt by flushing
out birds. Like my ancestors, I have a short fur coat to not attract
burrs, and a long tail that wags high in the air so hunters can always see
me in the bush. I still like to flush out birds and chase squirrels, but I
don't go on hunts. I'm a house dog that loves to play outdoors with Frisbees
and tennis balls and you would be amazed at all the tricks I can do.
I'm very athletic and full of energy, but I'm also very lovable. I
really like to cuddle in your lap. As you can tell, I'm very modest
too!
I allow Henry and
Sam to live with me. It's a sweet deal - they pay all the bills,
provide great food and treats, wash and care for me, and I live happily in
their home! Seriously, I really love them, especially "my Henry".
We are "soul mates" and go everywhere together.
Over eight
years ago, Sam and Henry rescued me, gave me a great home, and I'm a healthy
and happy girl today. You can read more about my adoption and that of
my sister Sugar by clicking on PET FINDER.
Unfortunately, Sugar went to the "Rainbow Bridge" in mid-September. I
really miss her. We weren't "blood sisters", but she was an English
Setter adopted like me. She looked after me and let me play with her
toys and sleep next to her. Check out
SUGAR'S MEMORIAL PAGE for her story and lots of photos. She was
one very special canine and friend to me.
Now as you can
probably tell, I'm not too bashful and over the years, Henry has taken lots
of photos of me. I've put together 20 shots that I particularly like.
You can view them by clicking on
SIERRA'S FAVORITE PHOTOS.
I also invite
you to drop by my webpage from time to time. Henry will post updates
that you might find of interest. Before I close, there is one more
really important thing. If I were never rescued, this happy story
would not be told. If you are thinking of getting a dog or second one,
be sure to consider a rescue. Learn how by reading the next story!
Lots of "licks".
"Sierra"
