These are not dogs for the casual dog owners. American Eskimos demand a great deal of attention. And I'm happy to give it. Once Sugar decides it's attention time, it is attention time. I may be reading a book, minding my own business and BOOM, I have an Eskie in my lap.
Sugar tries to play with two toys at once.
It amazed me that someone would have given up for adoption such a beautiful creature. But it turned out that Sugar is a submissive urinator, meaning that when she's nervous, she pees. At first it drove me crazy, but my vet encouraged me. It appeared Sugar had been abused, and this was a response. She may outgrow it, she told me.
