Growing Up

Where did my name come from?

I was named after Xena – the Warrior Princess which is a well-known New Zealand television series featuring a female warrior and her adventures. The name pretty much suits me to a tee as I am always ready for action.

My mate Fenrir

When my mum and dad took me home and introduced me to Fenrir I couldn’t have been a happy pup. He was great and we played and played for hours. He’s a rather tolerant gentle soul whereas I have a bit of a fiery heart as mum and dad put it. As they say opposite’s attract and that’s what we did.

Swimming

One of my favourite things of all time is swimming. I can swim and play in the water for hours. When I was pregnant Dad used to take me for lots of swims as it was gentle on my body and cooled me down. You will often find me sitting in my blue bucket at home cooling off on a warm day as I was spotted in this picture.

There ain’t no place like home!

I love to relax at home with mum and dad, Fenrir and my kids. I pretty much get to run the place as I am top dog. My main job is to guard the house and those within it and mum and dad are happy with how I have performed so far. Fionn now takes on guard duties with me while the boys kick back and relax, but when they’re needed they’re there with bells on which is the main thing. Here are a few of my favourite pics.
