Arrival Story:
Cayenne was adopted at the Animal Shelter in Abita Springs LA. She was probably about 1 year old or a little more. She was in the back of the kennel where the public can't go but when they brought her out, we thought she was so beautiful! So sleek - we thought she must have been a supermodel in a previousl life. She's a red leopard Catahoula. With amber eyes. When she's jealous, they turn green! Really! She was really crazy at first, had never been in a car or a house. A riot! Took a while to get her to not bounce on the walls. She's now properly behaved in the house. A fierce watchdog. She left with me during Katrina (we live just north of the lake from New Orleans) and we slept in the car one night. No worry - nobody was going to come near that car with Cayenne inside. Cayenne has been with us for about 6 years now.

Bio:
Cayenne must have been very abused when she was a pup. When we got her the pound told us she had been adopted once when she was a little pup but then she was found wandering the streets and another of the guy's dogs was found dead in his yard. Then we found out she was highly neurotic and therefore quite aggressive when something scares her. She likes security most of all. And slow steady movements. Anything in one's hand (broom, brush, etc..) can provoke her and she panics. At first I couldn't sweep near her - she must have been beaten with a broom, now she' s ok - she gets I'm not going to hit her. Her favorite thing is to ride in the car/truck. She watches everything. We just adopted another Catahoula pup and he's so completely different - nothing bothers him. They have a ball together but she's the alpha dog - he cannot go near her "place" - the laundry shed. It's sad about Cayenne because she cant' be trusted around people and has to be tranquilized at the vet to get her exam and shots. She stays in our big fenced yard a lot but she's ok - lots to do and play and I'm home all day so she does get plenty of attention and treats.
