Sydney the Australian Shepherd

This week’s Dog on Monday is Sydney, a frisky Australian Shepherd.  Her people are the Jurgensen family from Pearland, Texas–Steve, Jenee’, John Michael, and little Jillian.  Here Sydney is shown, ready for Halloween, wearing one of Jillian’s princess dresses, though she seems more interested in the tennis ball!

According to Jenee’, Sydney is becoming more frisky as the cooler weather moves to Texas–look at her thick coat, I can imagine.  But she’s afraid of the rain, she’ll try to jump into the bathtub or laundry basket when it starts to pour.  But one of Sydney’s most endearing qualities is empathy; if you’re sad she’ll jump in your lap and lick the tears away.

Thanks for the pic, Jenee’.
