How did you two meet?
Sugar and I met at the same time I met my boyfriend, Ryan. Ryan had gotten Sugar just a few months earlier as a puppy, and soon after, sent her to Las Vegas for four months of service dog training. Because Ryan and I met and Sugar came home at the same time, it felt like we essentially got a dog together right at the beginning of our relationship.
What’s in a name?
Her name is Sugar because she’s trained to detect low blood sugar.
The moment you knew they were “the one”:
Since Ryan was the one who got Sugar, they came as a package deal. I realized quickly they were both “the one.”
A quirk that never fails to make you laugh:
I’m convinced she can tell time. At exactly 5pm, she rests her head on my lap and starts wagging her tail for dinner. Daylight savings time absolutely ruins her life.
His/her favorite treat:
She’ll eat just about anything, but her sensitive tummy only approves of salmon treats. She’s a high maintenance girly.
If you could ask them one question it would be:
I’d ask her what she really thinks about her job. Does she like being a service dog? Does she take it seriously or is she mostly in it for the treats?
The biggest lesson they’ve taught you:
She’s taught me to appreciate the simple things. Going for a walk, a new toy, or morning snuggles make her so happy. It reminds me to enjoy the little things in life.
Do you think you two look alike?
Some might say we do! We both have golden locks and love wearing our hair curled.
