Adopted July 2010

8/26/12: In the "small world" category, Shadow (the original Sydney) met his brother Sydney (the original Melbourne) quite by chance on a hiking trail! Aren't they both handsome?

Just wanted to give you an update on life with Shadow (AKA Sydney (the original one)).

We have all fallen in love with this little guy and daily get a chuckle out of his antics. I've attached a few photos so you can see how he's grown!

We recently took a road trip up through your neck of the woods and Shadow was particularly moved by our visit to Republic!!

We've been intrigued by the way Shadow has changed as he's grown - especially his ears and legs (he's already about 30 pounds)! We wondered if there wasn't something other than Cattle dog and Border collie mixed in. Our suspicions were raised considerably when Wendell observed him 'pointing' at a bird in the backyard recently. So you might want to check out any German Short-Haired Pointers making the rounds in your area!!! Thanks for bringing this little guy into our lives.

We absolutely LOVE our little Sydney...or Shadow, or Streak, or Slate...Haven't decided on a final name, but Wendell who is home with him today (he actually works from home) says Streak is more fitting!!

He has been busy getting acquainted with us, our sons, and his two furry siblings (cats)! Loves the outdoors, especially running and rolling in the grass, and being cuddled.

We couldn't be more pleased and THANK YOU for making him possible for us. We will definitely send pictures and updates and let you know when we're looking again.
