Cheeky/Chiki/Cheek/Dingo/Kangaroo

At the end of June, a new member came into our family: Cheeky.







That's one of the earliest pictures I can find of her. Here, we see her standing guard over Katie. When we first got her, she was the most skittish dog in the world, and wouldn't go near Dad, even if he was holding a treat. She bonded fastest with Katie, and would almost never leave her side. Cheeky quickly grew attached to Lindsay, me, and even Mom, but it took her a few months to let Dad go near her, let alone pet her.


Today we gave her a bath. Mom had to carry her into her bathroom, and once she was put down in the tub, she started shaking. The shaking continued until we were done giving her a bath. I discovered that wet dogs are the worst air fresheners.




So far, Cheeky has ripped the stuffing completely out of two soft toys. The duck still exists because there's a rope going through the middle, and the small pull rope because we got it today. Cheeky has yet to chew on any of our stuffed animals, but sometimes when we come home after being out most of the day, we find her in her bed with a shoe. The shoe isn't damaged at all, though.



I can tell that she doesn't like the camera. She licked the lens a little after this picture.
