Lydia

Lydia
 

LydiaLydia was one of the puppies that we kept from our first Chet x Daily litter, and she was such a cool dog! She was joyful, loving, and mischievous, and her tail wagged non-stop. She truly had a sense of humor, and you could tell by looking into her eyes when she was about to do something wild!

She was always active and agile. At five weeks of age, she was hurling herself over the side of a 30" PVC x-pen. Dogs aren't supposed to be able to climb out of PVC x-pens, but Lydia sure figured out how to do it very quickly! As a youngster, she also learned how to unlatch her crate and let herself out of it, whenever she felt she had napped long enough. <G>

Lydia had a beautiful jet black coat that just glistened in the sun, and her eyes, neck, and ear set were exquisite.

Lydia was our resident "house clown!" She made us laugh at least ten times a day. One of her coolest tricks was swimming. When you would tell her to swim, she would lay on her side and move her front and back legs as if she was swimming. <G> She loved to entertain our house guests with that trick.

It's often difficult to photograph black dogs, and it was especially challenging to photograph Lydia. She was fascinated by the camera, and every time she saw me with it, she would run over to check it out and give me a kiss. Despite that, we managed to get a few nice photos of her, and below are some of our favorites.

Lydia was sure that I was holding out on her, and that the baby wipe
container must really be filled with puppy food! <G>
