This was a good dog.

Sugar came to live with us in 2001 when we adopted her from the Humane Society. We found her after someone had poisoned our dogs that same year. She filled the void left by that senseless act. She was rescued when some moron dumped her and her sister on the UNT Campus. Everyone thought she was a German Shepherd mix, but really she was mostly Scottish Kelpie. She was the best watch dog I have ever seen. She was good to her family, and I think she had a good life with us.
Sugar died on September 3, 2009. She was about 10 years old. We loved her and she loved us. We will miss her terribly.

I am so sorry for your loss. Pets become such a huge part of the family and losing them hurts just as much as losing another human being. Again, I'm so sorry.

Sorry for your family's loss, but commendations for giving Sugar a second lease on life.

My family adopted Jenny in 1989 and Sara in 1991 from the shelter in Roanoke, and they were wonderful members of our family during the kids' early years. They passed in 2001 and 2006, but left wonderful memories.

Sienna, adopted in 2006 from HSNT in FTW, now makes her home here, and hopefully will for many years.
