Oh dear Liz, Sugar's sudden illness and death reminded me of a friend of mine's beloved dog Tucker who also suddenly got sick and died - it turned out he had been poisoned, probably someone put out poisoned meat for coyotes, as my friend lives in a pretty rural area. Tucker will probably be among the first to greet Sugar when he arrives at the Rainbow Bridge, as he liked kitty-cats, and knew they were his friends.

Phred is right, Sugar knew most of all that you loved him, and he'll be with Buddy to greet YOU some day at the Rainbow Bridge yourself.

Poor sweet Sugar, he'll live forever in your heart, and in all our memories of your stories of him.
