Sonny is the shy type. Sonny is Ellen and Chris' new baby boy! He's a bashful old man with long rickety legs and a sad face. But don't let it fool you. This dog is spoiled.
Ellen brought Sonny home about 3 weeks ago for a try-out. I think they fell in love instantly. Sonny is a nervous fella but he really likes Ellen and would follow her closely while he was still getting used to her new home. Her cats have had no reaction to him whatsoever and this family of five (Ellen, Chris, Sonny, Sadie, and Ben) all sit on the couch and watch movies together. Ellen says she gets up 45 minutes early to have Sonny Love Time before work everyday.
Sometimes Sonny hangs out at our house. Budds and him are content friends. Being at least 10 years old, Sonny doesn't run and jump like Buddy does. Ole Budds runs circles around the guy but they both slump on the porch together while they wait for their next meal. I'll admit Buddy is just a tad jealous. He does not like when we acknowledge Sonny without acknowledging him as well. Buddy talks and groans while Dad pets Sonny. At first, he wouldn't even let me pet Sonny. He would barrel between us, shoving the rickety Sonny out the way and forcing my hands to land on his thick caramel coat. He's gotten a bit better about this but we can tell he expects the petting to be distributed evenly and I am only allowed to pet him. I am his woman after all.
Sonny is a pleasant and quiet new member of our family. Ellen is particularly smitten with him and he loves his new parents. Boy did this dog fall in it.
