Sonny? Sonny got all the leftover genes that Charley and the rest of the litter evaded Three years in to The Sonny Chronicles, and we have managed to stretch out our vet visits to average only about once every two months. ONLY!!! Most people only need to take their dog to the vet ONCE A YEAR. In this third year, I am finally able to ONLY go to the vet every other month. If I'm lucky. If we're lucky. If she's lucky.
Poor, poor Sonny...
Sonny, in many respects, is the polar opposite of Charley. She is not a lover nor a cuddler. Unless she doesn't feel well. Then, she wants to be a lap dog. A needy lap dog. I know she's not feeling well when she tries to force herself onto my lap. And I usually give in. After all, I don't get that much cuddle time with her.
She hates to be on her back, except for extremely brief belly rubs that she initiates. You will NOT be catching this dog sleeping on her back.Where Charley sleeps like a rock, Sonny is up and down, several times a night.
Where Charley could really care less about toys, Sonny LOVES toys. Any new toy and she acts like she's never had a toy before in her life. It consumes her. For a few minutes, anyway. And then, throughout the course of the evening, she will trot out, one by one, each of her other toys. But she's not content to play with the toy by herself. It requires interaction. A lot of interaction.
Unlike Charley's kisses, Sonny's are sweet and delicate. And very methodical. Almost like she's grooming ME.
Does Charley cry or whine? Not at all. Does Sonny? All the time!
Is Charley a picky eater? Not at all. Is Sonny? You bet!
Is Charley dominant? Duh! Is Sonny? Submissive is her middle name.
Is Charley loved? By one and all. Is Sonny? Yes, but...
