More: My sweet pup was named Hobby because my husband kept telling me I should get a hobby…so I did! And boy did I! Hobby was diagnosed at 14 weeks with diabetes. He needs two insulin shots every day for the rest of his life and lots of testing and monitoring. They call these pups sugar babies because of their high blood sugars. I had a big learning curve but I feel like an ol’ pro now! The good news is he is such a trooper and is thriving! I love my sweet sugar baby to pieces! My Hobby.
