Sugar, our precious Pomeranian, also known as “the Heart,” crossed the rainbow bridge on November 27, 2019 — exactly 15½ years after she was born. Since her passing, we’ve realized that dogs teach us to be loyal, to love unconditionally, to have compassion, play, and live in the moment. Some may think when you have a dog, you are taking care of them. But, we’ve learned, all this time, through every major life event as well as the mundane, she has been taking care of us.
