And of course it backfired, the new dog was a puppy, and did naughty puppy things, which was nothing like the old Kaiser who was old and feeble, so they got cross with him for not being the old Kaiser. I have the feeling if they'd given their new dog its own name and identity they would have loved it more

Aw, that's just sad, not to mention a bit closed-minded on your friends' part. "Grrrr"
I doubt that Nanny would think this dog has to be at all like her Sugar, esp with the obvious difference in quality of breeds and all LOL.
I just wouldn't want it to pain her to hear us talk about "Sugar" in regard to this dog when her Sugar meant so much to her and she has so many memories of the years her Schnauzer was with her.
Let's hope she is OK with it or that we can find her owners and not have to worry about it. [img]smile.gif[/img]
