Sunny Shelties

Pony was one of the world's best dogs. He pulled kids on sleds and rollerblades. He played tag like a pro. He was a master at hide-and-seek. And he made a great pillow. When he wanted to go outside Pony would seek out a buddy and whisper the word "out" in a little huff of breath. His favorite past time was to lay outside in the garden and smell the flowers. 

 

We lost Pony at the terribly young age of nine. He was always a healthy dog but had an adverse reaction to prednisone which severely ulcerated his stomach. The worst part was his original condition was a simple infection that should have cleared up easily. After a late night visit to an emergency clinic and several days of hospitalization the decision was made to relieve his suffering. The house has felt empty ever since.

 

His legacy lives on through his offspring. His daughter Sunny, has many of the traits that we loved about Pony. From his loyalty, even temperament, and train-ability to the funny little grunts of pleasure that she makes when you scratch her back, Sunny resembled her father in innumerable ways.
