I am writing to let those who remember "Sienna", that she will be 10
years old this year, is gray around the muzzle, and continues to be a
happy, much loved German Pinscher.

Sienna had a very sad, heart breaking, traumatic story of her early
days before I rescued her when she was 4 years old. But, with much
love, patience, and understanding, Sienna has enjoyed many years with
me now, and continues to be a loving companion to both myself, and my
other GP "Shilo", to whom she is partially related (only that both
the Dams of my dogs came from the same breeder).

It is a shame I am not able to share photos of her here, as I would
have liked to have shown those who knew her, and cared what happened
to her, to see her now, and joyful photos of her happy life with me,
and my other GP...

While Sienna has her own personality, and haunting behaviors I
believe to be a result of her early days, and the trauma she
suffered. She is accepted, and loved. She, and I can now look back
and know that both of us were very lucky to have met, and become a
part of each others lives.

Both her, and my male GP have taught me that no one is perfect, and
no dog is perfect either. That we all have our flaws, and though we
may mellow with age. You come to realize that acceptence, is what
true love is all about.

Her favorite things are Dental chew bones, training treats, plush
doggy toys with squeakers inside, hours running, and romping in our
favorite field, endless trail walks, basking in the sunshine,
visiting new places, curling up beneath her favorite blanket,
occasionally sleeping on my bed... But, most of all being snuggled in
my arms beneath a warm blanket... What more could a dog want from
life... It has been said that happiness is a warm puppy. I think if
Sienna could voice her opinion, she would probably say... Happiness
is a warm, loving owner.

Would love to hear from those who remember Sienna, and share your
thoughts...
