Likes: Loves to snuggle in a lap and snooze, daily walks, rides in her look-out carseat in the van, run off lead and blitz
Pet-Peeves: I have some separation anxiety. I'm a bit shy around other dogs, a bit fearful of getting coat brushed and teeth brushed
Favorite Toy: Anything fleecy, small stuffed animals
Favorite Food: Wellness Core reduced fat, greenies and marrobones, popcorn
Favorite Walk: In the neighborhood and at the park
Best Tricks: Loves to do the "Bichon wave" by standing on her back legs and waving her front paws. Sadly Sugar's hip dysplasia now prevents her from doing this too often :( She still tries though!
Arrival Story: Sugar was adopted at the age of two from Lily's Hope Bichon Rescue (Pittsburgh, PA) nka Bichon Frise Club of America Rescue. She came into rescue as a very fearful and shy girl with a long tear-stained coat. We don't think Sugar was abused, but was noticeably not well cared for. It took quite some time for her to gain our trust and that of her Bichon brother. Today she has transformed into a lovely little dog that is very gentle, sweet and loving. As human sisters living together and loving the Bichon breed we have become Bichon rescue volunteers. We've "almost" failed Fostering 101 several times. For now we'll be a 2 dog family, but know that someday there will be another to join our pack.
Bio: Sugar came into rescue with a male littermate. (Sadly we learned in September 2008 that Everett passed on to the Rainbow Bridge from a malignant brain tumor.) Sugar's tattoo number on the inside of her back leg, makes us think that she was from a puppymill or ready to be bred at one time in her young life. We already had a rescued Bichon for a year and wanted him to have a companion,so we adopted Sugar through rescue as well.
Sugar is not a certified therapy dog but has been to nursing homes and hospitals for visits. Her calm nature lets anyone pet and love her. Sugar does have her CGC (Canine Good Citizen) certificate, which is something we're very proud of!

Yesterday wasn't a very good day for me :( Chester and I both went to have our teeth cleaned. I've always had a problem with my teeth, since I'm not a good chewer and I'm also a fussy eater. I don't even like it when Mom tries to brush my teeth. Well, long story short I had my choppers cleaned up. The bad part was that I had 2 bad back teeth that had to come out. Of course in true diva fashion, I cried and wimpered all the way home. Even this morning food doesn't even interest me - not even my favorite yogurt or hamburger! I heard Mom on the phone talking to the vet and she may have to put those icky pain and antibiotic pills right down my throat if I don't eat them on own! YIKES! All I want to do is sleep and not be bothered. It's been a rough year for me with all of my health issues so I'm hoping that this will be the end of it and I can get back to being a happy healthy girl again. Have a great day everyone. Now I'm off again for a nap......
I can't believe it. Dogster has again chosen me as one of the daily diary picks for today. What a welcomed surprise! Now I know today will be a good day - and especially since I'm going back to the vet .........
I'm going back to the vet again tomorrow. Even on the Proin, my incontinence hasn't eased up. At times it evens seems a bit worse :( There were a few days where it seemed like I was doing better too, but now I'm back to square one. Mom isn't convinced that the cortisone is the cause. She's getting frustrated and really wants to get more answers. I even have another sore on my tail that's opened up. I've managed to chew on it when I can, so we're hoping it hasn't gotten infected. Let's hope I can get better soon.........
