Owner: Amy
About Me: My mom found me on PetFinder! But I am the real sister of Maddie because we have the exact same mom and dad. I am younger, faster, and a better jumper. For my first year I was in some homes that were not very nice to me, so I have had a few trust issues. My humans now are VERY nice. I worry a lot about not being able to stay with them forever.
Nicknames: Sydders, Syd Syd, Sydlicious, Syd Vicious, Sibling
My Motto: Everything is made better by jumping around.
Likes: Chipmunks, squirrels, robins. Stalking. Chasing fast dogs.
Pet-peeves: Maddie. Dogs chasing me instead of me chasing them. Rain.
Best Tricks: Jumping, Jumping, JUMPING!!!!
Favorite Activities: Watching creatures out the window. Jumping higher than Maddie and stealing her toys. Sitting with my humans and putting my paws on them.
Favorite Food: Whatever my sister has.
Favorite Toy: Whatever my sister has.
Favorite Walk: Ones that involve robins, squirrels, and other dogs. I can walk for a LONG time.
