Hello. My name is Sonya and I am an English Springer Spaniel. I was born in 1994 and went home to live with spartacus right after he came home from a football referee and scuba diving trip to Australia and New Zealand, so he will always remember my arrival in the household.

I am liver and tan color and still act like a puppy, full of vigor and excitement. It kills me to be alone or to be in the garage at night while spartacus is upstairs in his bed, but he does let me stay with him in the office when he is on the computer late at night.

Many months ago Mrs. spartacus and my two boys, Alexander and Stephen, ages 4 and 1 1/2, left for Iowa. Spartacus was very sad but I was there to comfort him and we are now doing just fine. I do miss the boys, but spartacus sees them often.

When spartacus is gone the neighbor girl comes and plays with me. I have a nice Dogloo in the back yard and plenty of food and water. But I just can't wait until spartacus gets home so we can run and play. And when we go hiking and camping, that's the greatest.
