Sugar is a sloth! LOL She has a bunch of energy in the morning, but in the evening she turns into a sloth. She even eats sitting down. Did I ever mention she’s a little savage when it comes to dinner time! OMG…..that’s another story! She’ll knock the plate out of your hand if you don’t make her sit and stay. She’s definitely a chow hound. She’s adorable.
Sugar is a chewer. Who knew……..she didn’t come with that label, but it is what it is. *sigh* My dining room bench corner has been chewed on and the latest has been the coffee table top that Rick made for me. Since we have two large sofas and a big leather chair in our living room, I only wanted one big coffee table. They just can’t be found big enough. We bought a base that was missing it’s top at the Waterfront mission……get this….for $10! Rick was then able to make a top for it. He did a really great job. Well……Miss Sugar chewed on one end and then the other and teeth marks on the other corners. Little shit. Rick decided to put some Cayenne pepper into the grooves to stop this chewing.
He said he was sitting out on the patio yesterday morning and heard this bunch of yelping and Sugar came running to the door. Rick thought they must have been fighting too rough, but Sonny had this look on his face like “it’s not me” and then he saw some of the Cayenne pepper was gone! LOL I wonder if she’ll be doing that again any time soon!
The coffee table has been another source of amusement for them. It has the open see through in between the top and the drawers…..well they are playing peek-a-boo going round and round the table. Sonny will be on one side and Sugar on the other. They bark at each other and she waits for him to chase her and then she’ll run to the other side. It’s hilarious to watch!!
I guess that’s about it for them. As much as I love them both………they truly have been a blessing to me, I miss Junior a whole lot. I cried when we were eating pizza the first time because I always gave Junior some crust. Oh….how he loved that crust. I guess I’ll always get sad when I eat pizza now.
I miss you Junior!
Looks like we finally have a handle on Sugar peeing in the house! It’s been quite some time since she has had an accident. The signs are still subtle, but they are there.
Switching dog food has definitely helped with the poop too. It’s no longer “semi-soft”, but a normal looking poop. Sonny was not eating the Taste of the Wild lamb, so I switched him to Solid Gold – Bark at the Moon. It didn’t seem like he was tolerating TOW very well. He is eating SG without any coercion, so I think we will be sticking with that and see how he does. Sugar is almost done with her transitioning and will be on SG only very soon. She is a little pig!!
They BOTH are definitely thriving and changing out of that puppy mode look. Nice solid dogs! I can’t believe how far they have come since the shelter!
We’re very blessed that we were at the shelter, at just the right time, to adopt them.
