Sydney
A Gallery of Images

Here's our baby, in all her glory. This is a small collection of photos that my wife insists we place on the web for the world to see. Click on any of the images for a larger than life look.

« Here is a picture of Sydney as a puppy hiding her nose in the grass...
And here she is with the same pose, but 90 pounds heavier. This the story of the Ugly Duckling... but in reverse. »
« Doesn't she look like some sort of Thanksgiving turkey?
I guess I should say she doesn't pose. This almost looks like I had to pose her, but precious sits like this with legs crossed like a lady, quite often. »
« I don't know, but why does this after-nap yawn look like a crocodile? No, it wasn't difficult to get a picture of this dog yawning, as she does it all the time.
Now this really is an incredible shot for a dog that doesn't pose on command. »
« For those of you contemplating a bulldog, look at this picture and think again. Those are not, I repeat not, rain drops.
Here's our girl, however backlit, on the backyard picnic table. »
« She is afraid of everything ... including the camera equipment.
Doesn't she look like a hippo in this shot? »
« Oh, the indignity of it all... I will admit, that this dog is pretty patient with children and has never growled or threatened an person. However, most children are deathly afraid of her. I just love irony.
A face only a mother (i.e. Tina) could love. »
« Here is another one of Sydney, as a puppy, and Tanner (as an irritated adult). This looks like Sydney is laughing, but chances are better she is just yawning ... a habit she has highly developed.
Sydney, as a puppy, on the bed. She used to sleep on the bed until I came along. »
« Here is Sydney, as a puppy, looking through our gate. Looks like a painting, eh?
Don't bother me, I want to nap. Yeah, this is her favorite spot in the house. This is why we have so many pictures of her in this position. »
« While she has a perfectly good doghouse, she insisted on a bigger house. So Tina cut a compromise, and a hole, into the garage.
Here is a picture of Syd with her mother, Tina. Although the flash did not go off, it is still a good picture. »
