Hendrix as in Jimi Hendrix. We wanted a name that reminded us of Seattle and we always walked past the Jimi Hendrix statue on Capitol Hill... and it is a cool name.
Hendrix is an Australian cattle dog mix. The mix is unknown, but clearly he is part awesome.
We have been leaving him in the laundry room area during the day. Yesterday we decided that after one of us checks on him at lunch we will open the door to the backyard so he can roam around in the afternoon. (We have a door that locks between the laundry room and the kitchen so we don't have to worry about inviting the neighborhood into our house.) When we got home from work last night we saw through the kitchen door window that Hendrix had pulled his bed onto the step so he could lounge in the sun. I know, adorable.
