Sugar's Photo Gallery

Anybody for polo? Sugar will rustle up those stray balls. (Kentucky)
Hey Sugar, can you fetch me a cigar from that store over there? (Ohio)
Hey! Hey! I'm wide open! Pass it to me!!! (Ohio)
Sugar likes to hang out on the spread in Brownsboro, KY.
Sugar takes a stroll through a stream near her favorite waterfall in Kentucky.
A rare photo of the legendary, elusive Sugar doggie believed to inhabit the wooded areas in Kentucky.
Hey! Come check out my igloo! (Upstate New York)
Sugar in her natural habit. She has never been happier.
When is the darn bear going to get here with the Molsons? !!!
Now this is the way it should be!

Sugar meets her Mini-Me after a swim in the Manchester River in Manchester, VT.
Sugar will show you around the barn now. Sugar says "this is my friend Boomer. Boomer lives here on the end of the aisle because he is a stallion."
You trust him more than I do, Sugar. But, Sugar has a way of getting along with everybody and everything.
Sugar says "And, this is my old friend Buster." Sugar and Buster have known each other for nearly six years. Isn't Sugar a good model?
Sugar says "Hey! Whose picture gallery is this supposed to be anyway Buster? You're hogging the picture." Buster says "I want to be a model too! Take my picture. heh heh"
Sugar did not take to the water at first, but after much coercion she has now decided that she likes to swim.
Sugar poses for a picture in the woods behind our home in Farmington, CT after a swim in the river. Sugar says "there is nothing like a brisk little dip in the icy river to wake you up in the morning".
Sugar poses under a dogwood tree... a little sad that the cold weather is nearly over!
Sugar has no problem finding a good time anywhere she goes. It doesn't take much to make her happy! A stick is all that it takes.
Sugar strikes a pose on her favorite rock in the river.
Sugar is a great appreciator of wildlife. She often visits our pet swans on the Farmington River. Does this dog know how to pose for the camera or what? Good girl, Sugar!
The swans have become pretty well adjusted to Sugar and will come right over to her.
Sugar likes to relax out by the swans and has her morning meditation session among them, soaking in the cold winter air and becoming one with the friendly wildlife. And, believe me, Sugar loves that cold winter air that she has been waiting all year for!
Sugar perches upon a rock to get a better look at her new friends. It is amazing how comfortable the swans are with Sugar, and how they do not feel threatened by her.
Sugar smiles as she sees her new friends coming over to her once again.
Sugar likes to swim out into the water with the swans. But, the swans are not sure yet if they really like that as much as Sugar does. And, I am not really certain I like her coming back home all wet like that, but we'll all just let it slide for now since she likes it so much.
The swans have become more familiar with Sugar now, and let her visit in the water within a safe distance.
Sugar chases after the swans to say "hello", but the swans say "that is a just little too close, Sugar!"
And then, when Sugar is about to give up, the male swan comes back to check out this big fluffy white creature that he thinks must be a long, lost Scandanavian relative.
Sugar says "this is getting a little too cold in here, even for me. I'm outta' here"
Sugar says "Okay dad. We'll give this one last try." And, the swans stick around this time as Sugar swims in the river with them.
It is getting a little icy in that river, so Sugar will just watch from her rock for now as the papa, mama, and baby swim by.
And now the river has turned to ice. But Sugar likes it better that way! It's just starting into Sugar's kind of weather.
After a long day at the barn, the horse show, chasing polo balls, fetching sticks, swimming in the river with the swans, running through the woods, or hanging out in her igloo, Sugar likes to come home and kick back with her little sidekick, Honey the cat.
In memory of Honey the Cat, 1993 - 2004.
