Sydney’s Date Night

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

We went to Chaya and Brian’s tonight to meet their new puppy, Ruger.

He is so stinkin’ cute and tiny that you can see his ribs. They are trying to fatten him up. We never had that  problem with Sydney.

For once Syd was the larger dog and she was exceptionally sweet. Ruger passed out after about 15 minutes of playing. Oh, to be a puppy.

Covered Up

Monday, February 8th, 2010

We put on fresh sheets last night and Sydney hopped onto the bed as we were putting on the last few layers. She tends to do this and we typically shoo her off the bed, but instead we worked around her.

I thought she’d move and be done with it when both Barry and I left the room; however, quite a while later I went to fetch my slippers and discovered that The Syd was still lounged out at the foot of our bed with just her little face sticking out.

Ironically, just yesterday our friend, Tyler, was wondering about Sydney being able to relax. He was concerned that she had a hard time getting comfortable. Needless to say, this is what Syd looked like hours after Tyler had wondered about her latest lounging techniques. I think we don’t need to worry too much!

It Never Gets Old

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

I really enjoy finding Sydney wrapped up in a blanket snoozing away, but it is really hard to resist interrupting her snooze to give her some pets. I’ve discovered that she’ll sleep though a few pats and pokes, but as soon as I quietly get up to walk away she looks at me wondering why I’ve stopped. So, I keep petting and she’s content once again.

 

Are You Loving It?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

This is a perfect picture of what Sydney looks like when she has made her way onto someone’s lap and is getting her pets. Her eyes are closed and she is l-o-v-i-n-g life.

As you can see, Barry doesn’t seem super upset that he’s got a 19.6 pound pup on his lap. I’m guessing by the look on Barry’s face that he is l-o-v-i-n-g life just as much.

Relocating the Office

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

This is Sydney.

This is Sydney’s office. She once put hours and hours in at this location.

But a better office appeared and she jumped at the chance to work at the new location.

Don’t worry, she’s putting in even more hours in her new office. She has so much more room do get things done.

The alarm went off far too early this morning, but we found ourselves bundled and out the door by 5:45. We’re usually silent the first few hundred yards of the walk, letting the rain wash the sleep from our eyes.

Eventually the silence turns into sporadic conversation about our day, the Tubby Torpedo, the weather, our dreams, or whatever else seems suitable during the dark, wet morning stroll. It is very rare that we see another person out walking their dog, every so often we see an old lady and her ancient pup, but for the most part the streets and trails are our own.

We say we do it for Sydney – that she needs the movement – and this is true; however, I secretly enjoy spending the time with Barry while the world is still slumbering.

Baby Lovin’

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

At my parent’s house there is a basket of toys for kids to play with. Of all the goodies that Sydney could possibly get her paws on, she always finds the plastic baby doll and drags it across the room.

When she’s reached her destination – most often next to the warm fire – she proceeds to lick and gnaw on the poor plastic baby.

When Syd has had sufficient amount of time licking and gnawing, she cuddles up next to the naked baby and…..

sleeps. We’re hoping that Sydney doesn’t treat HBaby in such a way.
