Pet of the Month
We love your pets, so we’re showcasing them.
- Cheyenne
For July, meet Cheyenne, our newest Pet of the Month — and a total superstar in every way. 💛
Cheyenne and her owner, Eryn, love going swimming and traveling together. Ask anyone who knows her and they’ll tell you: she doesn’t just enjoy swimming… she lives for it. Yes, yes, YES!
🎾 Favorite Toy: A tennis ball — or honestly any ball she can chase.
🍖 Favorite Treat: Dehydrated lamb lung fillets (a pro athlete needs her fuel).
🛏️ Favorite Place to Sleep: Eryn’s bed, of course.
🏅 Special Talents: Catching balls mid‑air, swimming like a champ, and competing in Confirmation, NASDA, and Fast CAT.
🤪 Quirky Behavior: The moment she sees a ball, she becomes hilariously laser‑focused. Game on.
Cheyenne brings joy, energy, and heart to everything she does — and we’re so excited to celebrate her this month. 💛🐾
