Sugar (Sutter)

Sugar (nka Daisy Mae) has an updated photo here for you. She is eating well and has put on 3 pounds and a lot of muscle from her daily early morning and early evening walks with her dog family which consists of her mom and dad and two older male dogs, Bracken Dante and Mr. Cooper whom she loves dearly. A typical day for Daisy Mae is to get mom up for her early morning walk at 7AM. This is a sniffing walk around our neighborhood. Daisy has 2 dog boyfriends, Ben and Rugar, and three dog girlfriends, Lucy & Luna, and little Rosie who live in our neighborhood. Daisy Mae loves to have play dates with some of them when they are available. The highlight of our morning walks is when Rugar gets to come out to see her. This is her favorite boyfriend! They have fallen in love with each other to the point we call Rugar's human mom her mother-in-law. Ha! When Daisy gets home from her morning walk she waits for dad and the boys to wake up, then she and dad give each other what we call 'lovies'. Then Daisy does some zoomies around our wrap around deck, backyard and up and down the couches in our living room. We laugh at how cute she is when she does this. Then she suns herself on our front deck, eats her breakfast and takes a nap. This is her daily routine she likes to stick to. Daisy loves to go to family and community socials/BBQ's on occasion where young children come up to her to say, "hi" and where we allow her to have a hot dog, hamburger or a piece of tri-tip meat which are commonly on the menu. Daisy and I, her mother, have grown very close and she loves and trusts me. I am the main person she checks in with and we sleep close together. She has a loving relationship with her dad as well. Adopting Sugar aka Daisy Mae has filled our hearts with love and joy as she completes our family. We all look forward to having many happy years together! Thank you GGBR for choosing us to adopt Sugar aka Daisy Mae! We will continue to make sure she is well cared for and loved in a way that makes her happy!!--Jon and Melanie, Arnold, CA, 03Sep2024 (Adopted May 28, 2024)

Susy

Olive, (formerly known as Susy), had a fear of leashes, [when I adopted her], but she got over that right away. She loves to go on her morning speed walk along T Street (1.1 mile in about 20 minutes). And is eager for any additional walks throughout the day. I have a cat now, as well, and the two of them get along very well. They roll around and chase each other but it's always playful. Everywhere we go, people comment what an adorable dog she is. She loves walking in urban neighborhoods with people on the sidewalks, parks, home improvement stores and nurseries. And of course she loves to chase squirrels up trees.--Tom, Sacramento, 25Jun2024_(adopted 16Feb2024)

Snoopy(Sacramento)

Thought I would update you on Atticus [formerly known as Snoopy (Sacramento)]. He pretty quickly was house trained. He and Scheherazade stopped beating each other up after a couple of weeks and are besties. He has slept through the night in bed since day one. His barking has slowly become nearly non existent and he now barks when he hears something that he doesn't recognize; he's otherwise quiet. He has become an unmotivated office worker.---Michelle K., 15Mar2024. Adopted 19Jan2024.

Sally

Sally is doing well. The vet guesses she is now approx 5 yrs old. She was found wandering along a rural road, presumably dumped, and spent a couple weeks in a shelter before we rescued her through GGBR. Since we adopted Sally, she was spayed and had some dental work completed since she had some broken teeth. (Vet thinks she likely was chewing on a chain). She loves her walks and is an excellent tracker (the best in 43 years of owning bassets). I think she could match a bloodhound! She puts herself to bed at 6 pm and is out for the night. She has filled a huge hole left by our dear departed Luke. We call her the Ethel Merman of basset hounds because she can really belt out her barks when she wants her walks! __C.P. August 23, 2023
