She adores water of all kinds, hard-boiled eggs, and bacon when she can talk someone out of it.  She's incredibly attentive and adores spending time with people, thriving on a laid-back exercise routine. As both a guardian and a warm-hearted greeter, she's an absolute joy to have in our family.

'Sugar Bear'
2007-2023

Sugar Bear was no ordinary miniature Dachshund; she radiated love to all she met with no distinguishing friend from foe. We welcomed her into our family at the age of 9, already a senior dog, but she cherished car rides and embraced everyone as her own. Her only request was a lift if you didn't oblige, she would bark at you until you did.

This year, at nearly 17 years old, she journeyed over the Rainbow Bridge due to spleen cancer. She leaves behind an enduring legacy of love that will forever warm our hearts."
