Sienna is an average dog, but then again she is not at the same time. She grew up playing the rules and being a good girl. It was what was expected out if a dog owned by a rich family that revolved around education, responsibility and wealth. As a pup she was lively and often scolded. But she also had an amazing imagination and was very stubborn in her ways. When she grew out of her adolescent stages, she began realizing that she was different from the other dogs that her parents tried to associate her with. Those canines of other wealthy families were proper and arrogant. They surrounded themselves around materialistic things and they treated mostly everyone like dirt. Sienna often had nothing to do with the fancy things her owners showered her with. When she wanted to play, a stick was fine. When she went to sleep, she didn’t mind the rug. She was a simple dog.

Sienna is a female that is extremely sure of herself. She has a lot of confidence, and that confidence made her rebellious in her friends eyes. She was confident in whom she wanted to be, and she knows what she likes when she sees it. As a run away, she fell in love with the counter culture. The survive lifestyle suited her, she felt. The open spaces made her feel alive and vibrant. She liked being around the people of the city, and they did sort of free her from her liberal life at home.

Sienna takes control of her own life, and she fights for what she believes in. She is stubborn in all aspects of her personality, and it is difficult to change her mind or position when she has it set. It can be changed, mind you, but there would have to be an awesome reason for her to shift her ideas. Sissy is confident which can make her even more stubborn but that also allows her to express herself however she feels without that dread of being judged. Rejection is something she takes rather hard, but it does not make her question her own motives. In that cute way she is bubbly and likes to make people and dogs generally feel happy. She is not a shy canine, so if she is talking to someone who is shy she may seem a bit intimidating or maybe even a bit annoying. Sienna won’t be mean to you. Someone has to give her a good reason to be disliked. She loves to be there for those she cares about, and her whole life is involving herself in other people’s lives the best she can. Treat others how you would want to be treated is the cliché motto she molds her attitude around.

Negative words that tag along with Sienna would be indecisive, moody, snippy, touchy, clingy and impatient. Sienna is a passionate soul, and from that passion a dark side emerges. She may be confident, but at times she can have a hard time making a decision. It is especially hard for her when the decision is a critical one that is relaying on her making the right move. She can get overwhelmed if she is pressured to make up her mind when she is not ready. It may lead to her making rash choices and then regretting them later. Sienna is not perfect; she is mostly in a good mood. But when something rubs her the wrong way she tends to be a bit of a bitch. When she is angry she can seem irritated and she certainly shows it. Sissy does not get violent, she neyer has been in the physical type. But she will fight if she has to.

When she is arguing or when she is mad at someone she lets them know by words. She does say things she doesn’t mean out of anger (and feels guilty once the fire burns out.) But at the same time, as she dishes out hurtful words she can’t take hurtful words back. Even if what that someone says is untrue and out of anger, it still eats away at her long after the fight. If the fight is not resolved, then it takes a long time for her to get over what is said. She is as well impatient. It is probably a normal trait for most post-domesticated dogs. Sienna loves instant gratification as much as the next dog. It takes a lot for her to wait for something without becoming irritated. As for the last tid bit, Sienna has a nag for being slightly dependent. Not in ways most would think though. I am talking emotionally dependent. With friends she is confident and so sure of herself. But Sissy needs someone to bond with; she needs a person to tell secrets to, to protect and to have protect her. I am not talking romantically, but just in general. Even with romance, she tends to be clingy and a bit needy. But she does try to not be annoying with it.

Sienna is a medium sized, muscular, compact dog that gives the impression of agility and strength. Her eyes are oval and a dark brown that are constantly holding an alert, keen expression She has a broad skull that flattens to a graceful end between the eyes, with muscular cheeks and a medium-length, deep muzzle. Her neck and shoulders are sturdy and her ears are pricked, large in size and set wide apart, with a covering of golden hair on the inside. She has a natural, long, un-docked tail which her breed is known to have. She is not a huge dog, with her current kind of nonexistent_ diet she weighs 43 pounds. Considering she is a red Australian cattle dog, she has a “red” coat. But really her coat is a dark tan color with tinges of a golden brown. She is what breeders called a “creeping tan” and she is uncommonly a solid color. Her breed has two coats, a soft inner coat and a prickly water proof outer coat. But her breed is short haired, and that really helps when it’s hot out. She doesn’t too well in the winter, but she tries.

There is not a whole lot to tell about Sienna. She was born in Delaware to two purebreds, and when she was just five weeks old she was posted up on the internet. Her owners were dog breeders, and they auctioned her off to the highest bidders. The family that won Sienna was the Clarks that lived in the wealthy estates of a crowded city that was a four hour plane ride away. When Sienna was six weeks old, she was shipped out on a flight to her new family. The Clarks consisted of a doctor father, a uptight stay at home desperate housewife, and six year old twin boys. Mr. Clark was firm but loving towards Sienna. He after all was the member of the family that first accepted the idea of having a dog. Mrs. Clark was snappy and cold towards Sienna whom was horrible was potty training. Sienna ruined four too many of Mrs. Carks good rugs for her to really like Sienna. They tolerated each other though. The twin boys were fun to play with but when she began to grow out of her puppy stage they seemed to pay less attention to her.

Sienna grew up the two years of her life as the lone dog of a very wealthy estate. She had everything she could ask for and the twins loved overloading her with treats. Yeah, she had a bed in every room, one of those bowls on the stands so she didn’t strain her neck to eat, and a basket full of toys. She as well had a huge fenced in backyard to whomp around in. Why was she unhappy then? Because Sienna never got outside. She went on the occasional walk, or the trip to the horrible vet office. But she never seen the world and that bothered her. It ate away at her very slowly as she grew up. Until one day, it was just too tempting. Sienna fgured her family could live without her. The twins were ignoring her almost all the time now and all the adults did was scold at her. She felt she outgrew her welcome in the house. So one day when Mrs. Clark left the front door cracked as she was bringing in groceries, Sienna took off out the door.

The Clarks were astounded that their dog just took off. They set up fliers and searched the neighborhood for Sienna. But they never thought she would make it all the way to the city from the suburbs. But Sienna did, she followed the same road that they always drove on to go to her vet appointments. Sienna was a smart cookie, but when she got to the city she didn’t know the first thing to do. Needless to say, Sienna suffered her first month out on the streets. She was mauled, wounded, starved, and nearly raped. One day a female pitbull mix befriended Sienna, and took Sienna under her wing. See, Jynx, which was the pitbull mixes name, was a feral dog and she knew the streets like the back of her own paw. Sienna ran with Jynx for five months until one sad night Jynx got snatched by Animal Control. Sienna was crushed. But Jynx left behind her survival skills for Sienna and she was grateful for that. Now she is a rogue, staying out of trouble so she doesn’t get screwed over. She has seen a lot of canines get screwed over in a number of ways.
