This post is in loving memory of Sidney. He had a short life but lived it to the fullest and brought us a bunch of memories. His departure leaves a big void in our family; one that we'll feel for some time.
We adopted Sidney when our Golden Retriever, Bailey, died three years ago. Sidney was from a breeder (read: puppy mill) and ended up with a birth defect; kidneys that didn't work very well. Our vet thought that, given similar situations he's witnessed in the past, Sidney wouldn't live more than a few months. He managed to prove everyone wrong living three years.
Sidney and Bailey were fantastic dogs however both died early in their young lives and both were from breeders who turned dogs over as quickly as they could. Starting with Ginger, we now adopt all of our animals from the Capital Humane Society as well as donate to this organization....and urge the rest of you to consider this as well.
Rest in peace Sidney. We'll miss you.

That's too sad! How are the kids holding up? We can't bear to think about our two pups someday not being there!
Sydney will always have a special place in our hearts! He was a great poodle!
