Sonagh, our middle dog, is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Golden(?) mix whose temperament and size is very much that of a Chessie. She is an imposing dog with spooky gold eyes, who makes me feel safe.
Sonagh is about as un-doodley as a dog can get. She is my guard-dog girl and rarely given to snuggling or affection but has a sweetness about her that is hard to describe. She is, without a doubt, the most difficult dog I have ever trained. Yet, she has turned out to be such a good girl (even if she barks more than I care for and eats poop) and I wouldn’t trade her for the world! I adopted Sonagh shortly after my beloved Kayleigh died and right before I developed a serious, long term illness. She is very much my dog and has seen me through many dark days when I was very ill and questioned the wisdom of bringing her (or any puppy for that matter) into our home, as I didn’t have the energy to give her. In retrospect, it was the smartest thing I could have done as I am a better person because of her.
So, here are some photos of my beautiful baby girl!
