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 was a sad day for Dogster. We learned that we lost our dear friend Noah. We've been saddened so many times the last few years with pals that have gone to the Bridge, but we felt a special friendship with Noah. He had his share of disabilities (he had diabetes and became blind) and overcame the hardship he endured before he was rescued by his faithfully devoted family. Noah and his brother Clay were some of the first dogs we became pals with almost 4 years ago. Noah was always there for everyone and we felt a special love for him. He was a Bichon like us and he loved to ride his daddy's Harley. His mom was devoted to him and to her we send the biggest Bichon hugs we can wrap around her. God bless you Noah. Your family gave you the final gift of love and released you from your suffering. We will miss you but know that you're riding that big Harley at the Bridge and able to see it now......
Until we meet one day we send you our love,
Chester and Sugar xoxo
Chester and Sugar have had a double honor bestowed on them this week. The BLC (Bichon Lover's Clubhouse) group honors a different dog each week and features photos on their main page. This week we're honored to be the first brother/sister chosen to be in the spotlight. WOW!!! We're so excited that we're off to do some serious Bichon blitzing. Zzooooom...........
Wow, I've been chosen as royal member for today in the PDPC (Princess Divas & Prince Charmings) group!! Guess I'll make mom give me extra treats today - being royalty isn't easy you know ;) I'm off for a long royal nap now........zzzzzzzzzzz
