Lost our beloved pup Rosie to cancer last week.

We decided no new dog. Then fine we wait 2 weeks. Then no puppies. Then no more big dogs (we have st Bernards). Then no more expensive dogs. My weekend trip got cancelled due to a storm, and I caught my wife looking at a Cane Corso puppy on Craigslist.

Meet Sugar, the future guardian of the Tortoises and Turtles. 4 months old as of last week, I've got a lot of training to do with her. She won't fill the gap of Rosie, but she got the other dogs and kids partly out of their funk.

Probably sugar will find her own place to fit in. It's funny how they manage to worm their way in 🤗 she's beautiful.

She has lol, she is busy collecting all the dog and cat toys and putting them in her crate. Future guardian of the outdoor cuora (my next update to this thread ;))

Beautiful! You've got a lot of training in your future!

So sorry you lost Rosie.

I do for sure, but she responds well to chicken, so won't be an issue. Haven't worked this breed before, but no way she can be more stubborn than the saint Bernards lol.

Waffle is not pleased with her smaller winter accommodations. Substantially less things to chase, hunt and eat. She isn't my turtle anymore, she has claimed my wife.

First nest laid cuora egg, my wife is over the moon happy lol. Not bad for a "not a reptile fan". The turtles have taken a piece of her heart in a big way
