Living with our big sister, Sunny, was kind of like having a mama dog for Molly and me. Since she was already seven years old when Molly and I came along, Sunny was pretty much dismayed to have two young whippersnappers replace Kirby, with whom she had lived her whole life. Going from a sedate lifestyle to one with two little puppies was quite a dramatic change for Sunny, but she was a champ and she showed us the ropes while she kept us in line.
Sunny was sweet and gentle with us as she tolerated our puppy antics, unless we really got in her face. We quickly learned that she would snap at us when we invaded her personal space boundaries and that she wasn’t kidding!
Considering that she ended up living with three youngsters when Sadie showed up two years later, Sunny was the ultimate good sport and we couldn’t have had a better big sister and fearless leader of our Scottie clan. We miss you every day, Sunny!
