Our dog is one year old! He's still a little nuts, but a lot less so now than he was. We really enjoy having a dog. Enoch and Sonny have an especially adorable relationship. Enoch can do pretty much anything to Sonny and Sonny doesn't mind. It's kind of weird. If Ira pesters Sonny, Sonny does not like it. Enoch and Ira definitely have different intentions with the dog - haha. Enoch likes to snuggle up to Sonny ie: lay on him, and it's adorable. So all in all, having Sonny is net positive.
