Kristen Schuettenberg of Valles Mines said her family’s dog, Chevy, can’t wait for his human siblings to get home from school each day.
“He’s a very sweet boy and loves going to pick up his siblings at the bus stop,” Schuettenberg said. “Our three kids are Dalton, 13, Summer, 11 and Liam, 7.”
Chevy, 5, is a Staffordshire.
“He is very energetic, but he also likes to cuddle,” Schuettenberg said. “Chevy is a good boy.”
The family has a habit of naming pets after autos or auto parts, she said.
“We have two more Staffordshires just like him and two cats,” Schuettenberg said. “Most of their names are after Chevy models or parts. There’s Duramax, named after an engine that goes on trucks, Rado, like after a Silverado. The cats are Vette, like from a Corvette. My other cat, Kit Kat, is the oldest. He is not named after a Chevy car part. Another cat, Blazer, passed away.
“We had another dog, Chevelle. She was Chevy’s girlfriend. She got hit by a car and passed away.”
