This album is for Sonja's fans. Dates are approximate as data was lost during the upload process. Thanks for stopping by!
[I realize that the photos at the very end are out of order and that some photos lack captions. This album may never be finished, because each time I try to address these details I end up bawling.. The loss of Sonja is a loss that will never, ever heal. Thanks for your understanding.]

2 Day one! Conan the Barbarian (of LOVE) meets Red Sonja JOY!
3 Q3
4 First year.. Circa 1995 or early 1996
5 Sonja has a thing for basketballs Circa 1996/1997
6 Can you imagine she lost the costume contest? A poodle wearing a bikini took the prize, but it started us off on a new tangent -see the costume album from the menu above! Circa 1996/1997
7 Sonja at rest.. There are many pix of her at rest because its one of her favorite activities! Circa 1997
8 LUMPY! Do you see the crease down her skull? Pitbulls develop big pads of muscle on their skulls and Sonja is getting her 'lumps'! Circa June 1998
9 She stacks great on picnic tables when we camp We went on many camping trips where Sonja would take every chance to roll in animal poo! Circa 1998
10 She looks like the Madonna to me here... This is Sonja just days before she whelped her first litter. March, 1997
11 Sonja and her daughter Rosie Too The date on the pic is wrong, this was taken in July of 1997.
12 Summer of 1997.. Down by the Mississippi river/Fort Snelling -another unposed stack. Sonja loves to swim in the river and we enjoyed socializing with the 'river pack' all summer long!
13 A boy and his dog.. Circa 1998 "A boy and his dog hahahaha..." View Comments...
14 A view of the lumps.. Spring 1999.
15 Not sure of the date here.... Sonja really reminds me of Ruby here (or is that backwards?) Circa 1999
16 So many pix like this! We have hundreds of shots like this of Sonja's expressive face! This was probably taken during the winter, hence the heavy comforter! Circa 1999
17 Typical Sonja... Circa 1999
18 Dog show at a monastary... Taken in Wisconsin - this is Sonja and Xena in front of St. Francis of Assisi. Circa 1999
19 Bob and the pose.. Eventually all the dogs learn to sit up and beg due to Bob's dilligent training. Circa 1999
20 This was the best dog bed ever! Real shearling lamb skin - this is an Orvis pet bed, worth about $400.00 at the time. Naturally we got it for only $30.00! It was monogrammed with the name 'Maggie' and so we called Sonja 'Maggie' for a while just because of it! Circa 1999
21 Early winter... Circa late 1999
22 Prairie walk at Ritter Farm Park, Lakeville MN In the cold, in the middle of nowhere, we can turn the pitbulls loose and not have to worry about scaring strangers with 'pitbull loose!' :-) Circa January 2000
