Out and About with your Dog

Newfie/Lab - Sydney

Sydney needs shades

Sydney needs shades

We adopted Sydney three years ago when she was two and a half. She was kind of boring. Being part Newfoundland, part Lab, you'd expect her to be great at both fetching and swimming. She was neither. It surprised us to realize that she really didn't know how to play. She does now!

She runs and romps, chases balls and other dogs, swims, (though still not too far - we lose lots of balls in the water!), and she's no longer boring! She was always sweet, but now she's fun too.

I'm glad her original owners gave her away - it was best for Sydney, and we got lucky too! She's my pal and I'm so glad we found her. Isn't she cool in her shades?

Hi Sandi, when we rehomed Jessie - our lab cross - she had to learn how to play in a similar way to Sydney. Some people get a dog and think they're going to sit by the fire like an image in a Christmas card. It's probably quite a shock when they're actually balls of energy tearing round the house! A calm home, attentive parents, lots of exercise, and a few toys - go a long way :)
