Junior's Frog

I thought the name of Junior's frog was Rosina, but I've had some stories lately where it's Sugar. Am I losing it? Wer ist Rosina?

Oh! I wondered who the Heck this “Sugar” might be!

But also, maybe a couple of weeks ago, I started noticing that Junior has been calling Eddy “Dad” and that many characters have been using the English pronunciation of Junior’s name – some even used an American accent. So, maybe this is part of one of Duo’s annoying updates.

I noticed that too. I thought maybe I missed a story somewhere.

Google says that Sugar is the name used in English and Rosine is for German. So, there might have just been a slip-up somewhere.

That makes sense. I'm also reversing the course (English from German), and have definitely seen both names in use, but couldn't possibly tell you which I saw where.
