Our Little Dog Sugar











Sugar,our 14 year old Schnauzer has had heart issues over the past few years and has been getting bad off over the past couple weeks.
Sugar passed away about 8:00 a.m. this morning while I was rubbing her little body. I had taken her outside where she stood and breathed in some morning air. She walked back to me and I carried her in. I was planning to go ahead and take her to the vet since her breathing was a bit heavy this morning( Knowing she would most likely not be coming home) After bringing her back in she laid on her big pillow mom had given them, Honey crawled up next to her,I started rubbing Sugars head and body.She looked up at me with those sweet, tired eyes and she started to have a gurgle in her throat,I guess she was just showing signs she was about to go..She laid her head down while I rubbed her and talked to her and she died quickly after,no whimper,no deep sigh,she just went quietly. It was so sad, but bitter sweet she could go with me and her sister (Honey) here at home. Honey seemed to be a bit concerned that Sugar was not moving anymore. I wrapped her up and took Honey up to Ashley's room.I am glad Ashley was here to say goodbye to Sugar this morning.Of course I was in tears the whole time :o( Poor Honey will not know what to do when we are not home, without Sugar to lay on top of in their doggie bed.Tim rushed home and took her to the Pet Cemetery( Garden Of Love) to be buried next to our pets we have had buried out there since I was a kid. I know she'll be chasing bunnies and eating dog bones with them all, in the place all sweet dogs go.

Pam, I am so sorry to hear about Sugar. I know it was very comforting for you and Honey to be there with her. Oh, that is so sad. Poor Honey too. I know Ashley is very sad too.
