1/84 to 5/98
Sunny was a Shetland Sheepdog
(sheltie), and he was my pet for 14 years. He was born on SuperBowl
Sunday, 1984, to my sister's dog Shannon. Sunny was the runt of the
litter, and had a very special personality from the start. I had
wanted a girl dog, but Debbie convinced me to take this particular male.
I named him Sunny because I was working as brand manager of Sundown Sunscreen
at the time. It fit him. Sunny was a great companion and loyal
friend. He shared me with several cats, and lots of human friends
over the years. He slowed down a lot in his later years, and earned
the nickname Ratley. Here are a few pictures to remember how
he was in his prime.
