Likes:
Sleeping, ear scratches, sunbathing, treats, walks, car rides (and sticking her head out of the window), her grandparents, being loved on (on her terms of course)

Pet-Peeves:
Being brushed, having her paws touched, doggies bothering her, Shakey trying to play with her when she's sleeping

Favorite Toy:
She doesn't play with toys much anymore

Favorite Food:
Anything! cheese, chicken, carrots, any doggy treats - she's not picky! She's very food motivated.

Favorite Walk:
Up and down the block

Best Tricks:
She can manuver through the world like she's not even blind. She has the most amazing sense of smell. So her best trick is not appearing to be blind. :)

Arrival Story:
I volunteer with a schnauzer rescue group (www.schnauzerrescue.net), and one sat. in January I visited the local shelter looking for schnauzers. I saw this little gray fuzzball in one of the cages and immediately put my name on her to adopt her. Two days later, I brought her home. :)

Bio:
Sydney has cataracts, but this doesn't stop her at all. She barks and walks and does everything like a normal doggie would. She's incredibly smart and has a superb sense of smell. She's also alpha over her younger 'brother' Shakespeare, but don't tell him that! When other dogs bother her too long, like at the dog park, she grrrs at them, and they leave her alone. I don't know what she says, but I'd like to know so I can use it! Sydney is actually between 11 and 13 years old.

Forums Motto:
I am so smart!

On the afternoon of Friday Sept 14 two years ago, my Sydney girl passed to Rainbow Bridge. I miss you sweet Sydney.

Mom told me that my friend Gretchen would be joining me at Rainbow Bridge sometime today. Gretchen's been sick. :( Gretchen is like my heart sister. Her mom and my mom adopted us a few months apart, and both Gretchen and I were older blind shelter schnauzer girls. So our moms have always felt a kinship over us, and so have me and Gretchen. I'm glad to be able to meet her, but sad for her mom and family and fursibs. Mom's lighting my candle for Gretchen tonight. We love you Gretchen, and we will miss you dearly.


Rainbow Bridge Day - My Letter to Sydney

Dearest Sydney,

Actually getting myself to write this is very difficult. I want to stop because just thinking about you makes me start to cry. I miss you so much. I miss scratching behind your ears, holding you close while I carry you outside, watching you walk around the house, smiling as you grr at your siblings to get outta your space, watching you sleep all cozy in the big soft beds.... I miss you sleeping on my bed, miss you coming over to the side of the bed and giving that one bark to let me know it was time to pick you up and put you on the bed. When I was carrying Lacey outside when her leg hurt, it was like I was carrying you outside the last year or so of your life on earth. Sometimes I think I hear your bark in the house. You had such a cute, ferocious bark. You ruled the house, my smart little girl. Even though I sometimes forgot you were blind because you never acted like it, it still amazes me that my little blind girl ruled the house. :)

Heck, you ruled the dog parks sometimes too. I know how much you loved going to the dog parks, getting to sniff all those new smells. It was so neat to watch you bark at the big dogs who'd sniff you, watch you tell them to back off and then watch them walk away. Such an attitude and I loved every bit of it! :) But when you were ready to go, you'd bark like crazy to let me know yep, we're leaving now whether you and Shakey want to or not. :)

I still remember that first week I brought you home. My fondest memory of you is from that first week, when I had crated you because I didn't know how you and Shakey would get along, how you'd be in the house... I walked over to the crate and you knew I was there, you started barking and then.. you were wagging your tail and so excited to see me (and probably get out of the crate too!). I can still remember the love and excitement I felt watching you wagging your tail for that first time. I loved coming home to your barking and tail wagging, you would always come right up to me and give me little kisses and wag your whole butt, oh that was so cute!!!

Sydney, you were so adorable, smart, stubborn, full of attitude, and one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I miss you so much baby girl. I love you so much and you will always be in my heart.
