I like your purple toes!

Congrats!! Handsome fella!!

 

[Coco Loco]

Oh, Sugie-boy, you are so handsome! I love your sweet face, especially when you're laughing up at your Mama! Your brain must be getting bigger, finally, huh? (What say you, Mama?) Must be at least a little bigger than a walnut by now! Remember when it was only as big as a chickpea? LOL! We all love you so much, and thank you for checking in once in a while. I have been missing you, huggybaby!

Hi Auntie Lannie. I think you are right. Sugie-boys brain must be the size of a walnut by now lol. Sometimes it works really well and sometimes it still malfunctions. But maybe Uncle Doc is right and he's just being a boy 🤣😂!

He's still a lovebug and such a cuddler which I love. He still moans and groans when he is settling in for a sleep.

Thank you Nani for reading through the evolution of Sugar's life to date. I'm glad I started this thread because it's nice for me to go back through also. Great memories all in one place although he is not a little baby anymore and will be 2 on New Year's Eve! Time flies with these guys.

LadyDi I love purple but that pedi had definitely seen better days!

Uncle Doc we need an update on your babies. EG must be a big girl now!

 

[Lannie]

I just had to go back and look at your first post again and see Sugie as a baby, and I STILL want to kiss his toes! There's not much cuter than babydobietoes, is there? They make me smile.

 

[Coco Loco]

I agree! He had such cute big clodhopper feet! Now he's grown into those big feet. Hard to believe what little babes they were when we could carry them around.

Although you see what I contend with during zoom meetings when someone thinks they're still small!

I love this silly sweet boy 💖🤩💖🤩

 

[LadyDi]

So glad you two have turned out to be a good fit together.

Of all the Dobes I had, only my first was a baby when I got him. That was back in December of 1984, but I see pictures of Sugar, and it seems like only yesterday. I love watching him grow up and hearing all of his stories because he reminds me so much of my Ninny (Ninja). I was blessed to have Ninny as my soulmate for 15 years, and I hope Sugie-boy is with you at least that long. My other Dobes were all adult rescues, so I never got to see them grow up. They were all wonderful dogs, but there's something special about a baby dobieboy that grows up with you. (No offense to baby dobiegirls, but I never had one, LOL!)

Just tell Sugie his Auntie Lannie loves him very much!

 

[Coco Loco]

Oh Auntie he loves you too!

Baby dobiegirls are definitely different than baby dobieboys now that I have had both.

I loved my gal but she was so different than Sugar. In a good way just different.

I always read about these boys being goofy and silly. Coco was a serious gal and I loved that about her but I love this silly sweet boy too!

 

[LadyDi]

I just love the fact we have a big azz doberman ......named Sugar.
Sugar rocks!

 

[Coco Loco]

Hi DT. Sugar here. I know technically I'm not still a puppy but my brain is still small and I am mama's baby so I am stopping in to check in.

It's cold here and we have some snow. I'm so glad Coco left me her coat because I wear it everyday when we go to the pond. I love to smell everything there and pee on all the trees!

Sometimes we go into the woods because it is warmer in there away from the wind. I love going in there with mama. We see the beaver forest where they cut the trees down for their lodge.

k

Mama here. The sweetest boy in town is now 2 but I want to keep adding to his story so I hope you don't mind.

Hope you are all staying safe in this crazy world we are in 🙃

 

[melbrod]

Do you see the beavers?

 

[Coco Loco]

Sometimes you do during the summer in the evening around 8. One year I was down there with Coco and there were 4 young ones playing in the pond. Swimming under the water, slapping their tails on the water and chirping. It's such a cute sound! There was 1 big one supervising the young ones lol. Sometimes they climb up the side of the pond too. I never have seen them chopping down the trees. I think they work at night for that. I've been to the pond 1 night and the next day certain trees were freshly cut down!

Not great pics like TNs because I always just use my phone!

This is near their lodge.

 

[melbrod]

I've seen evidence of beavers by the one stream we have a trail along--but I've never seen them.

Hi Sugar! Looking toasty in your "Hand Me Down'.

[Coco Loco]

Lol John that was the best money I've ever spent on something for my dogs. I almost bought Coco a pink coat but she was more of a purple gal. And Sug is manly enough to pull any colour off 🤣😂.

Mel I actually don't see the beavers much for all the time I have spent down there over the last 12 years. They like to keep to themselves although they may swim underwater more than I know because every once in awhile they surface and go right back down again. I will try to get a pic of their lodge.

Funny story once a year Coco would lose her mind at the pond and jump in the water and stand on top of the beaver house. She knew she wasn't supposed to do either and would then come back to me with her head down because she knew mama was upset with her. She was always off leash there. Sugar is always on leash because he cannot be trusted yet!

 

[Lannie]

Sugie-toes! So happy to hear from you! You look so handsome in your fancy coat. I bet it's nice and warm, huh? Tell your mama Auntie Lannie needs more pics of your sweet face! Although you do have a pretty cute butt....

 

[LadyDi]

So good to hear from you Sugar!
Glad your keepin Mama on her toes!!!

 

[Coco Loco]

Just for you Aunt Lannie!

This was from his birthday. He loves to lay that big old head on me and give me the look of Love because he is a sweet boy.

LadyDi this boy definitely keeps me on my toes! I absolutely love going to the pond and Coco loved going there too. Her last week with us my heart was breaking for so many reasons. And one of them was who would I go to the pond with. One night I was talking to her and telling her mama needed someone to share the pond with and I would need another dog but they would never replace her. She kissed me on my face and I knew then it was ok. She wasn't a kissy dog unlike this boy!

Sugar loves the pond as much as she and I do. I never went into the woods with Coco. It just wasn't something we did. But he loves going in there so we have created new adventures there together and I am so grateful for that! Although I much prefer it in the nicer weather. It's cold here!

 

[Lannie]

Dobienose! I love Dobienoses as much as Dobietoes and Dobienubbins! Such a handsome boy.

Mama, I can still remember the feel of that heavy head on my lap, and the silky softness of the ears as I stroked them, and the firm, but sleek muscles on the shoulders and sides... you know, every time I see Sugie I am magically transported 30 years back in time, and it's like it was just yesterday. With the exception of his longer ears, Sugar is the spitting image of my boy. It pulls at me in the solar plexus. Every time. Thank you. Hugs and kisses for you and your sweet "baby" boy.

 

[LadyDi]

Nice clear eyes ....
Many pokes Sugar!
I love the bad azz dog named “Sugar”!!!!!!
Strangers must laugh when you recite the name....
