I adopted Sunkist from Rudy’s Rescue in June, 2007. I’ve been thinking lately about how I just love him more everyday! I can’t believe how far he’s come since I first had him. He seems to finally be settling down, and the vet said that he was really 2-3 when I
got him, which was hard to believe because he was so hyper. He’s become my best friend. I broke up with my boyfriend shortly after we got him, and Sunkist didn’t miss him at all, because I was the one he followed around (and still does) every minute of the day. Right now he just ran upstairs, and I know he’ll start barking in a few minutes, because he won’t come down by himself, until I go to the top and say “it’s o.k.” He definitely has some challenging behaviors, but the improvement is amazing. He used to bark at lamp shades like they were his worst enemy (still don’t know why). He also locked me out of the house this summer by tearing up the rug by the door, trying to get to me, because he figured out I hadn’t really left, and was just cleaning the dog hair out of my car. My crazy dog can’t be kept in a room or put in a crate (he breaks them), but once I figured out he just wants free-run of the house, he’s never destroyed anything when I’m gone. My favorite thing about Sunkist is his amazing talent for jumping. He doesn’t jump on you (thanks to dog obedience classes) but to greet you he jumps straight up in the air, amazingly high for a 90 pound dog. With his beautiful smile, when we go for walks, everyone loves him. He is pretty happy here. I even got him a dog walker to come play with him when I’m at work, and he loves to go hiking with me on the trails at Ellison Park. My kids at school love hearing stories about Sunkist, and if he does something naughty now I just chalk it up to another great story that will make them laugh! Thank you so much for bringing me Sunkist!
