20. Sugar Bear

Sugar Bear was 16 or 17 then that means she had many years of love and comfort. Trust me Rex you will be fine because you honored her for a very long time by keeping her safe and happy. I lost my beloved Golden's Murphy and Devon and the journey back from my grief was difficult. I finally decided that the only way to show my two best friends how much I loved them was to adopt a Rescue. I finally did and now I have Caleigh, also a Golden. I have had her for two years now (she was five when I rescued her) and I am convinced that she is channeling Murphy. I think Murphy must have sent her to me as a gift and to let me know I did not have to be so sad. Each animal we have is a privilege and a joy. Sugar Bear might even be meeting Murphy and Devon right now.
