Sugar has been so lucky to find the perfect match for her new forever owner. Stephen Jenner tells the following story: "I sold my MINI and got a Pathfinder because, among other things, it has more room for her. No matter how much room I give her in the back she wants to be up front with me. Yes, she still has moods. If she doesn’t want to do something it isn’t going to happen and if she wants it to happen it will. She’s big on pouting. Fortunately we’re compatible enough. She is quite aggressive around food with everyone except me and when there is a chew toy involved she’s even aggressive with me. I just learn where her boundaries are. I feed her when we are alone. She hasn’t acted badly around children, but I decided it’s better if I just don’t let children come up. Other than all that she is the most affectionate critter I’ve ever had. Oh, and she eats her beds. I’ve also never had a dog that needs so many baths. I’ve had three bassets and could usually get by with once a month, she needs it every week, sometimes more often. Fortunately there is a dog wash at a local Pet Food Express store. She’s a flirt at work. Whenever any of the guys comes up to pet her she rolls over on her back for a tummy rub faster than you can blink. I could hire a team of people to do nothing but rub her tummy and it wouldn’t be enough! We're planning on being at the Waddle in July!" Sugar's story shows that even dogs with issues can find themselves a great home that understands those issues and finds a way to work with them. Congratulations Sugar!!
