Sydney Shea


This pretty girl will hopefully have her first litter of puppies this winter! Sydney is an ACA registered, light buff Cocker Spaniel. She has beautiful form, is healthy, and has those loving dark brown eyes... We can't wait to meet puppies from her!


She loves exploring in the woods.

She's always alert and looking for wildlife. She even chased a caribou around our house this summer!

Sydney is a friendly, loving, active cocker spaniel. She always wants to be right where the action is!

One of her favorite places is to look for and watch wildlife is on our picnic table on the back patio. Here she is watching a herd of caribou across the pond behind our house.
We saw 21 caribou that day!

And even more exciting, we got to watch 2 bulls fight!

They had huge antlers!

Cranberry Pickin'


One afternoon this fall, the boys and I went out to our backyard cranberry picking. The dogs enjoyed exploring the woods, and we had fun finding the pretty red berries.








And a few of Cassie, just because I think she's pretty cute. :) Her sweet personality makes her all the cuter to us!







Welcome to Alaska, Cassie & Sydney

In July of this year, we moved to Alaska to serve with Missionary Aviation Repair Center <www.maracalaska.org>. My husband Dwight is a pilot mechanic and with MARC we assist and support missions throughout the state.
We as a family drove up to Alaska from Pennsylvania, visiting friends and family along the way. Since we took about 3.5 weeks to drive up, we had Cassie and Sydney flown up to Anchorage to meet us.
We flew Cassie & Sydney with United's PetSafe program; everything went smoothly and we all were so happy to finally see them when they arrived!

Sydney loves Aiden (age 1). She always runs up to him or lays beside him and lets him pat her and pull on her ears.
Hopefully Sydney will be a first time mama before the year is over!
We are enjoying the beautiful sunsets behind our house and the view of the top of Mt. Redoubt!
We've had visitors in our backyard on numerous occasions. If Cassie and Sydney are out, they like to chase them! (Sydney, especially.)

Our oldest son is 6! Cassie got in on his birthday pictures. She loves following the boys around and getting a snuggle in, too.

Sharing Love


We regularly visit a few ladies at an assisted living home. They love our boys, as well as the puppies! We took 3 puppies in one week and 2 in the next.
Sydnie, Lucy and Pearl

She held Sydnie for probably a half hour! Sydnie just snuggled in and slept. It was so sweet!

This friend just had her 100th birthday! She is always asking to see "the boys" and was delighted to have the puppies visit, too. Here she is holding Pearl.


Our boys think it's pretty cool that they know someone who is 100 years old.





This is our next visit, with Perry and Kelly.
The boys like to hold them on the way!

This friend always had a dog when she lived at home, so it was special for her to have puppies in her room!


Brody thought he had to take a picture of me and the puppies, too.

A lot of the nurses and residents wanted a turn at holding or petting the puppies.
And the boys enjoyed sharing them!
