The Week of Multiple Mischief


A week of mischief … not exactly, you’ll be the judge.

First, I blame the Weather. We had so much rain for the past 2 months and finally we are having dry sunny days. However, its been hot and humid. Due to the humidity, I am having days with Bad Golden Hair. Also, the heat made me Constipated. I’ve shared this information via FB/Twitter and got numerous dm/emails. I am glad to know that its not only me. Mom was so thrilled when I finally pooped. Does your dog have the same problems with the heat?

Secondly, my mom really needs glasses as she had a “Fashion Mishap” with me. Many say that dogs can see colors but I can sense if there’s something wrong. Check the photo below … how did she expect me to go to the park with mismatched PAWZ?

Third, I Got Caught … and I am guilty. Mom was away one morning for a very longggggg time. I had decided to take a nap on the new (not anymore) forbidden couch. I Golden LOVE this couch and it so happened it was covered (mom prepared it just in case). The couch is so comfy that I did not realized mom came home and she caught me sleeping on the couch.
Do I look stun on my photo?

Sugar's Week of Mischief: Sugar The Golden Retriever

Fourth, is all about our Blog.

1) We had a new logo and had to adjust the height of our blog header. We did not realize that some of our readers were not able to view our header properly. If you are having this issue, please clear your computer cache and it will resolve the problem.
2) We had a planned Thursday (FitDog)  post + video but we had issues with youtube on our music choice.  What’s up with that? Mom will re-do the video and re-post it.
3) Mom decided to give Bloglovin a try and she loves it. We realized that many are following our blog already, Golden Thanks. Unfortunately on the settings, mom is having issues claiming our blog. So you might see this, “Follow our blog on bloglovin”,  on several blog posts.
4) We very much appreciate everyone visiting and commenting on our posts. We are trying our very best to catch up, visiting blogs and commenting too.

On a Happier Note … I’ve been doing Lots of Golden Dances. Why?
We found out that my photo is going to be on an ad by a product we love and use.
The ad will be in Fido Friendly and Modern Dog.
What ad? What product? Can you guess?
Once the magazines are out will let you know.

Wishing everyone a Happy Monday.

I Have Marge Simpson’s Head


Marge Simpson is a fictional main character in the American animated sitcom The Simpsons. This is not the 1st time Marge Simpson’s head appeared on my blog. If you are a follower of my blog, you’ll remember my WW: I Got Marge Simpson’s Head. We received overwhelming comments and emails. Many of you asked, “where we got it”. Also, some of you predicted that Marge’s head will be torn up soon.

HartzPets Marge Simpson Head: Sugar The Golden Retriever

Marge Simpson’s head is my favorite “new” toy given by HartzPets when mom attended BlogPaws. My peeps have seen The Simpsons show. I do too … during channel surfing, when a Simpsons characters speaks my eyes get wide and my ears goes up. In 2014, the Simpsons show is celebrating its 25th year. WOW! In honor of their show HartzPets created dog/cat toys featuring the main Simpson’s characters, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
I am Golden Fortunate and Happy to have previewed the Marge Simpson toy.
Lots of Golden Thanks HartzPets.

It’s been 5 weeks and guess what? Marge Simpson’s head is still intact. I am not a chewer and as a young pup I learned to be gentle with my toys. Golden LOVE Marge Simpson’s head. I carry it around the house and a great companion during nap time.

We are a bit curious why Marge Simpson’s head (hair) is blue so we did a google research …
“Marge’s distinctive blue beehive hairstyle was inspired by a combination of the Bride’s in a horror film Bride of Frankenstein and the style that Margaret Groening wore in the 1960s.”
My mom is a bit too young as she is not familiar with the movie and Ms. Groening.
We have to do an extended google research.

Is Your Dog Getting Noticed?


Sugar Wearing Purple PAWz: Sugar The Golden Retriever

On a walk, who gets noticed you or your dog?

In our case ME … especially when I am sporting purple PAWZ. We hear lots of giggles and see lots of smiles. Many times we had to stop, explain what it is and why I am wearing it.
Is it a good thing to be noticed ?…
Well it’s not, as our walks are getting interrupted.
It is not our intention to get attention. It’s the least thing we want but it’s seems to be impossible when it’s ME wearing purple PAWz and it’s very noticeable. We were surprise to know that many do not know of PAWZ. When we lived in the city, many dogs wore PAWZ. I understand city streets can be dirtier/unsafe for some dog’s feet. Living in the suburbs, PAWZ seems to be unknown to many dog owners.

Many asked WHY I am wearing PAWZ?
It is due to my allergies. When I lived in HI, the red dirt did not dwell well with my paws. Going to the beach and regular baths relieves me from itchiness. When we moved back last Feb and lived in the city, the rash I had in my ears also occurred in between my paws. Environmental change took an effect on my body. As my ear rash cleared my paws continued to heal. Also, the discoloring of my skin in between my paws started to change to its normal color.

Vet bills can be costly if your dog have allergies. Taking meds is not the option we want to take. Taking precaution and preventive measures are always in our mind. PAWZ is saving mom lots of vet bills. Since PAWz are mostly used in the winter months, many stores put them on sale like Target. Guess who got me some PAWZ? Val from MyGirlzGotPaws, who is moving to HI soon.
Very Sweet of them and Lots of Golden Thanks
PAWz Gift For Sugar: Sugar The Golden Retriever
Mom tried to test if it is good for me Not To Wear my purple PAWZ.
Well, first I had Lots of Golden FUN … my speed of running was the same.
Not really sure if it felt different not wearing my PAWZ.

Fetch Play: Sugar The Golden Retriever

When we got home, mom did an Extended Extra Extra Extra Rinse.
Can you guess what happened afterwards?
Lots of Golden LICKS … on the new couch, good thing it was covered.

4 Mischievous Behaviors In 4 Days


Mom attended BlogPaws and I was left behind. It was an unexpected decision as we always travel together.  My allergies are on the mend and traveling/change of environment might trigger an allergic reaction. I was in good care and I do admit that I managed to do some mischievous behaviors.
4 Mischievous Behaviors I did while mom was away …
1) I slept on the couch. Well, It’s mom’s fault. Why? She left the covers on … sending me a special invitation to comfortably sleep on the couch.
Sleep n Treat: Sugar The Golden Retriever2) With my Golden Woof! Woof! and more Woofs, I got extra treats. I think its alright and not mischievous at all. I simply had healthy treats such as bananas, strawberries and carrots.

Heated Pool Swim: Sugar The Golden Retriever

3) I went swimming which was a Golden Surprise to me. I got to the facility early and had enough time to acclimate myself. But I don’t need to acclimate myself. I was ridiculously Golden Excited and I made Lots of Loud Woof! Woof!. Also, I almost jumped through the viewing window of the pool.
By the time I got into the pool I’m super super hyper. I was forced to stay and rest by the side of the pool. There was only 1 swim therapy facilitator and I surely made her very tried by keeping my water buddy Chuck It away from her!

Bay Window View: Sugar The Golden Retriever

4) The bay window ledge is no longer an allowed place for me to lay. A piece of furniture is missing that assisted me in going up and down. Well, I simply Woof and I get help. Can you blame me for wanting to hangout by the bay window?  It is close to the front door and I’m on a lookout for mom. Totally acceptable reason, don’t you think?

Golden Happy mom is home. We have lots of catching up reading everyone’s blog.

Happy Monday! I’m joining Monday Mischief Hop.

Mending From Digestive Regrets In Search For My Furry Friend


It happens every Spring when the grass comes alive and I’m finding unusual stuff on the ground. Well, I have a great excuse this year. I did not have a chance to experience Spring last year as I lived in HI, where it’s summer weather at all time. I’m just super Golden happy and excited to be home. I did miss my backyard and been busy scouting my yard for my Furry Friend, FRED. In my search for Fred, I end up finding these little round pellets from my other backyard friend that hops around my yard. As I sniff the little round pellets it looks just like my kibble, I can’t help but to eat it along with some green grass. I did not eat a lot and/or indulge in them but I have a very sensitive stomach. Did I have some regrets? Absolutely! Digestive Regrets!

For the past weeks, we read many articles and blog posts about other dogs having issues with bunny poops in their backyard. What is with the bunny poops that fascinates dogs to eat it? Based on our readings, dogs don’t think it’s poop. Well, as I said it looks like my food kibbles.
Smell and taste of bunny poops are intriguing to dogs. Why?
A bunny eats leaves, twigs and barks which contains some protein and flavor.

Mending Digestive Regrets: Sugar The Golden Retriever

It surely disgusts my mom and at the same time very worried that will cause me to have Coccidiosis, intestinal parasites. So it is important for your vet to check your dog’s stool couple of times in a year. For days I’ve been banned from my backyard as mom did a bunny poop patrol and our gardener Mark apply some nutrients on our yard. This weekend, I was allowed back to be in my backyard with supervision. I am Golden Happy to report that I am finally mending from my digestive regrets.

At Backyard Patio: Sugar The Golden Retriever

My backyard bunny is a seasonal friend and it’s no longer visiting my yard. I made a Golden Promise to mom that I’ll be a good dog in the backyard … will occupy most of my time searching for My Furry Friend. Now that the bunny is gone, I hope to see Fred soon. With my good behavior this weekend, mom surprised me with a delish tasty treat.  I invite you to check my post tomorrow, Tasty Tuesday. I was in Golden Awww on what she made me.

From my previous backyard behavior, I am joining this post to Monday Mischief.
