Their names are so suited!  Are they good buddies?

They were.  We had to put Syd down a couple of weeks ago.  Bear is a cross between a Border Collie and a Yellow Lab.  Syd was an Australian Blue Heeler.

I'm so sorry.  Bear must be lost without him.

The first couple of days he was looking for her, but so was I.  Bear's appetite was not affected.  He scarfs his food.  Syd (Sydney) lived a good long life (14), caught a lot of birds and she kept our chipmunk population down. Most people don't get it when it comes to animals, so its nice to see a person who gets it.

I'm sorry about Syd, he looks like he was a real nice fellow.  As a dog lover, I know how hard it is to make that kind of  decision even when we're doing it to save them from suffering.

Oh, I'm sorry to have called Syd a nice fellow. I'm not that great with spelling of names that could be either male or female. She sound like she was a special girl and she lived a long and happy life chasing the birdies and the chipmunks. They're really the best our dogs, aren't they, the depth of their loyalty amazes me.

What a wonderful photo.. It is a nice keepsake. No matter how old I get, or how many animals I have, I cannot deal with losing them ! This truly is a "keeper"

Lisa, I am so sorry. I know you told me about having to put Syd down, but I never saw this picture. They do look like good buds. How are you dealing with it?  Are you okay?  Love ya honey, Jan

It snow a little on Friday and Syd used to love going out in the snow and run around.  I got a little weepy, but we still have bear and he farts enough for both of them.  I try not to think about it too much.  I need to post some new pictures of Bear.  He's such a ham with the camera
