Sophie (Sugar 03-236)

Profile

Sugar is a gorgeous girl who was found and rescued by two human girls in Oklahoma. She was very pregnant and hanging around an Aussie male. She gave birth in a shelter where she and her 8 boys and 2 girls were taken care of wonderfully.

Before giving birth, arrangements were made to move Sugar and the pups to Minnesota so RAGOM could find good homes for them all.

Please welcome...

From Sophie's (fka Sugar) forever family...

It is with a very sad heart that I am contacting you. We had to "put her down" last Saturday. She had gone through so many health issues in her life from being found pregnant in OK, to her inner ear removal. She had to have two large cysts removed about 2 years ago from an unexplained source. She also continued to have severe allergies. She had been going down hill this past year, in particular suffering with a lot of unexplained skin issues, enlarged liver, arthritis in her spine/hips and general slowing down. This past week she started to really not do well.

Every step of the way, Sophie was the BIGGEST sweetheart I could have ever asked for. She never complained and all she wanted from life was to be petted. Everyone who met her commented on what a sweet dog she was.

She enjoyed her time as an assisted therapy dog, visiting persons at the nursing homes. She loved being our black lab (Jax)'s and cat's buddy and then she also became my son, Gavin's, best friend. She was by his side literally from day one watching over him. She died on his 3rd birthday. We are all grieving her loss now but definitely know she is in a better place without pain, which she deserves.

  

I guess I just wanted to thank you again for providing me with one of my soul mates, Sophie. I learned a lot of important life lessons from her and she will forever be in my heart.

Sincerely~
Tracy

The puppies are now 6 weeks old and I don't think they could get any cuter. Mom is as sweet, mellow and gentle as they come.

 
Sugar is so, well, sweet!

The puppies have definitely taken after their mom in temperament and personality as they are the nicest, friendliest, best adjusted little kids. They have taken after their dad in looks and we are not sure who dad was. Perhaps boxer since a couple of them have little boxer-like masks and some have the brindle coloring. On the other hand, some are black with nice soft fur, so may end up looking more like a black flat-coated retriever. Affectionate puppies that gives the sweetest kisses - you can't help but fall in love.

Puppies sure do change a lot in one week. When they came here, their eyes and ears were still closed and they were crawling. They are now three weeks old, their eyes and ears are open and they are up on their feet toddling around. You can see in the picture that they can barely stand up above the grass. They have discovered their voices and have cute little barks, growls and cries. They have started to play by biting on each other's ears, batting each other with their paws, climbing on each other and rolling over. This is really tough foster duty watching these sweet little puppies. Sugar is a fantastic mommy and is doing all the work. I did feel some puppy teeth starting to come in, so by this weekend, we'll probably be starting on puppy food soaked in water and mom will be getting a break.
