About a month after the Snickers saga, I got an email from his new Owners, Natasha and Jeremy, which gives this story a happier ending than the one I wrote yesterday. Once in New Jersey, Snickers became Mason. Here is what his new mommy and daddy said:
Mason is a great dog! He is such a lover, he cuddles, gives “kisses” and he even spoons! We have him on a schedule, I get up with him for a run at 6am, feed him breakfast at 8am. Jeremy takes him for a walk at 9am then a walk on his lunch hour at 1pm. We usually meet at the dog park around 5pm, have dinner at 7pm and take another walk at 9pm and sometimes a midnight stroll if we stay up late. He does well with the schedule and was an angel on our 10 hour drive to Cincinnati for the holidays. Our families fell in love with him too. He was so sweet with all the kids, even the one year old. We use a harness to walk him and it is a god-send. We like that it doesn’t choke him and we have soo much more control. He walks very nice now. The only problem is the potty. He doesn’t tell us when he has to go, and we walk him enough that it shouldn’t be a problem but it happens. Do you have any suggestions? I was thinking about putting a bell on the door and ringing it every time we take him to go potty so maybe he will ring it when he needs to go. I’m sure we’ll all get the potty thing under control though.
Thank you so much, he really is a great guy!
Natasha and Jeremy
Spooning? Who’d a thought? Maybe I was just an inadequate lover for him? Does he like it ruff? In any case, I am glad he met his matches and am happy to have hooked up this love fest.
Regrettably, I don’t have a video of Snickers doing anything cute. I do have Betty White doing a Snickers commercial.

[…] for other dogs. Though we never met him, we were very happy to see that Snicker’s new Owners changed his name to Mason. Good call. Can we universally ban all candy-bar names from now […]
