G: If I touch her chin she can't- she stops scratching!
A: Stop it
G: That's so funny.
A: If I touch your chin wouldn't you stop scratching?
G: No I love it.
A: But you would scratch somewhere else at the same time?
No you're not.
Scratch somewhere else at the same time.
This is so soft. (both chuckle)

A: So I know you guys are sitting there and you're thinking,
"Do I give a shit about what Allison Raskin and Gaby Dunn do all day?"
"What products they use; what their life looks like?" Hell no!
"Do I care what Sugar the dog does all day?"
G: Oh my god. I am intrigued!
A: So welcome to your first ever "dog lifestyle vlog".
G: Sugar leads, an extravagant and glamorous life.
A: I just wanna say that none of these products
have paid us to show them (laughs).
G: It's kinda like a haul video.
Like no one's sponsoring it,
you're just like buying and showing what you bought.
A: What's a haul video?
G: What I just said.
A: So first of all you're probably wondering
like how does Sugar eat?
>From this really cool turquoise bowl!
G: Where'd you get that?
A: At a pet store.
G: Cool!
A: I don't think you guys can see but, it says "woof".
That's kinda cute.
The number one thing that people want to see
when they see "dog lifestyle vlogs"
(both laugh)
G: A thing that doesn't exist.
A: Number one. When they- (both laugh)
G: Is, go on.
A: It's- this is so stupid!
G: Go, what is it?
A: The number one thing that people want to see when they watch "dog lifestyle vlogs"
(chuckles) is the harness, right?
G: Yeah, 'cause people are really trying to get Sugar's life.
A: I actually have TWO harnesses for Sugar.
G: Oh my god. What a spoiled "B".
A: Yes. She's getting to be quite a be-yotch.
(both chuckle) G: Oh, she heard you!
A: So, this is confusing to Sugar because she thinks she's going out.
But you're not. So just get it through your little pea brain
that we're staying here and doing your lifestyle vlog.
So this was the first harness that I bought, um, it's a
knockoff burberry. (chuckles)
G: (laughs) Look at how ready she is to g- (laughs)- She's so ready
to go! (Allison chuckles) Oh my god!
A: This is the- she doesn't understand any words.
the only thing that Sugar understands
is, like, what her harness is.
G: That is so funny!
A: So I'll be like- "Let's go for a walk!"
G: Nothing.
A: "Do ya wanna go out?"
G: Nothing.
A: "Come Sugar!"
G: Nothing.
A: Oh well!- she at least looked at her name
maybe she knows her name!
I've gotta say that her name is Sugar and
she wears this pink harness and everyone thinks she's a boy. So-
G: Wooooow!
A: - gender binary's out the window.
This flushes her ears out.
G: Why do you need to do that?
A: She gets ear infections.
I've only had Sugar for about, like, 6 or 7 months.
G: M-hm.
A: And I've been so blessed in that time
to have to give her every type of medicine possible. (Gaby laughs)
G: What's wrong with this dog?
A: (chuckles) A lot.
G: Well I'm glad we're talking about this now,
because this dog was supposed to help you
with your OCD, and instead,
please introduce this new product.
A: These are the grooming wipes, um
I use these to wipe her paws and ass
whenever she comes inside.
(deep breath) And then if we've been like out
at a place where she's lied down at all
then I groom her- I like, wipe down her
ENTIRE body.
G: Blink twice if you need me to take you away.
A: No she's fine! She's so happy!
G: Do you need me to take you out of here? A: When I found her she was living under a desk!
G: This is a real "Mommy Dearest" situation
like, are you okay?
A: I don't understand the reference.
G: You're just, coming in contact with
so much poop, which I guess furthers
your theory that poop is everywhere.
A: When I KNOW where the poop is
I can- and like I can see it and it's clear
and I can just pick up the poop and I
can like clean that area that's fine.
It's the fear that I don't know where the poop is.
And this is me doing the best I've ever done.
This is a monkey emoticon toy that Sugar
showed in interest in for about four minutes one time.
No, not four minutes in a row that would be crazy.
G: Okay, we've seen the comments wherein
people wonder if Sugar is sedated or, like
you know, "is alive", is a stuffed dog
that we're just pretending is a real dog.
She's alive!
A: She plays!
G: When?
A: She's played.
Let me show you my work bag for her.
(Allison chuckles)
Oh now this bad boy, this is an actual antler.
We have to wash our hands after this video.
Sugees! (kiss sound)
G: Is she- A: Minimal interest. G: Ooh she's getting it! Ooh she likes it!
A: MINIMAL!-
(both quietly) G: Come on. Come on take the antler. A: Come on.
These are "cheesy bones".
Do you want a cheesy bone?
G: (chuckles) You have to say it like that?
A: (goofy voice) You want a cheesy bone?
How do you want your cheesy bone? Sit- yeah right.
When I first got Sugar I said I needed to
get her a bed, and my sister graciously
said that she would do it.
She then ordered a custom dog bed that took
three months to arrive. (Gaby chuckles)
Oh it's covered in blood.
G: What?!
A: It's- it's covered in blood.
She has like a, like an open sore on her butt.
It's not open.
(both laugh)
It's been open, it's like blood cl-, not a blood clot,
what do you call a blood clot on the outside?
G: Blister?
A: Kinda yeah! And like, I think it's 'cause she like
gnawed at herself,
and um after I sent, uh, extreme close-ups of it
to everyone in my family,
G: M-hm. A: And I took her to the vet it was
determined not to be a big deal.
But I think it opened at one point and
that's the blood we're seeing on the bed.
G: Did you tell your sister that it got on
her fancy dog bed?
A: I can't get a hold of my sister.
Now I'm like really worried that I gave her a bad life.
G: You don't give her a bad life
what was her life before you?
(voices overlapping) A: I don't know. G: It was worse than this.
A: But is that a good reference point?!
G: Sure yeah! I'd say call this an upgrade!
A: But, she- okay, once she went up for
adoption though, she would've been adopted
because she's so fucking adorable.
what if someone better adopted her
like a week later?
G: Who?
Who's better?
A: (quietly) Like Kristen Bell.
G: You think, Kristen Bell would've adopted
Sugar if you hadn't?
A: Absolutely.
G: What we're getting here,
from- so far from the products is that a lot
of Sugar's products have to do with your own anxiety.
A: Yeah! G: Okay.
A: She's my "anxiety dog".
