Goldie
(age 13) is the leader of the pack and a super retriever.
DeeDee
is 10 weeks younger, very obedient, and adores Goldie.
In February of 1998 Sydney entered our household, and life has never been the same! She was born at the Gary Dog Pound and her time was running out. Sydney was 3.75 pounds at nine weeks when she came to live with us. She was just a little ball of fur.
All
three girls get along very well.
Sydney
turned the former couch potatoes into full time active playmates.
Sydney
is a member of the AKC (American Kritter Club), and can best be described
as a toy Golden Retriever with light blond fur.
Sydney
graduated in July 1998 from the Von Winn Dog Academy with first place honors
for the beginners' obedience class. She has decided to retire from competition
while she is still in good standing.
Sydney
is the youngest, and she is also the biggest (and she is still growing)!

The
girls were disappointed that the gingerbread house wasn't made out of real
candy!
Unfortunately Goldie has lost her vision. She has Progressive
Retinal Atrophy. If you have had experience
with blind pets and have any suggestions for me, please e-mail me.
