I lost my sweet baby Sugar... [View all]
She crossed the rainbow bridge Friday at 2:51 pm. I'm crushed. She was my boo boo girl.
When we got Sugar I wasn't ready for another dog. I'd just lost my 3 year old Boxer to a seizure. I tried to stay neutral not fall head over heels in love with her. At first she kinda made that easy. She tried my patience ALL. THE. TIME. But then she would look at me with those eyes and I was done.
We bonded and Sugar stopped trying my patience and became my friend. Then my world was turned upside down and we had to find Sug a home. We were moving and our house needed a lot of work so we were staying with my parents while we did the work. I couldn't take Sug because they had 4 small dogs; one with medical problems. I didn't want to keep her locked up in a crate-that wouldn't have been fair to her. So we found her a great home with other dogs and lots of land to run on. I was heartbroken.
Fast forward 6 months. We were in our house and had gotten another dog. We were sitting on the deck on a Saturday evening and I asked my husband what he would say if the people called and asked if we wanted Sug back. Of course we would take her in a heart beat. The next morning the phone rang...Sugar came home on Sunday. She was back where she belonged...she was home. Crazy right?
Sugar & our new puppy Izzie were buddies right from the start. The dynamic duo.
It happened so fast. I noticed she was drinking a lot more than usual and eating a lot more. Then she started having accidents (she NEVER had accidents) and I noticed she wasn't walking right. She couldn't manage the steps. I took her to the vet lab work was done and xrays. She had a brain tumor that was very aggressive and progressed very quickly. It was just two weeks and she couldn't even stand to eat.
Not a month ago she was out running with me.
Sugar was my dog. I spent everyday with her, she followed wherever I went.
She was the sweetest most gentle dog in the world. She was my friend, my confidant, my sweet baby girl. Her eyes were so full of love. I miss her so so much. I keep looking for her to be there. To wiggle at me....something..but she's gone and I'm so heartbroken.
I want to hold her again. I can still feel her in my arms. I will miss her soft tongue giving me a kiss as I bend down to wipe her paws.
This one was Friday morning. I'm sure Izzie was saying goodbye.
