So, I lost Sugar. A year ago, we had two cats and a dog. Now, we're down to just a cat.
Old picture with the two we've lost this year together. Pic earlier up the page was the last photo I ever took of Sugar alive.
She was such a sweet dog. She had always been pretty timid (considering her previous owners had apparently tried to kill her, can't blame her), but she was nice to everyone. She was always very calm, rarely barked. She'd never jump up on anyone. Sugar would just come over, wag her tail, and lay her head on you. Maybe put one paw up. She did that to everyone she ever met.
Sugar was also wonderful with kids. I remember having some friends over who brought their little boy. He immediately pulled her tail as hard as he could. She didn't yipe or get angry. Instead, she turned around and smelled him, gave him a nice big old lick. Later that evening, he started throwing tennis balls at her while she was asleep. Instead of getting angry with him or even making a noise, she just looked over at me with a face that said "Help me, please". She was such a good dog.
