When my mom graduated from college, her father gave her a Lalique Puppy Crystal named Sugar. She LOVED it and said the next dog she’ll have will definitely a Golden Retriever named Sugar. Her wish came true.
I was the smallest of my litter.
“So Sweet” were the first words of my family uttered when they saw me.
My sire (doggy dad) is Wherley’s Sour Mash who was a champion retriever in many field trials. The last accomplishment Mash achieved was 2nd place at the Great Outdoor Games. Sadly, Mash passed away September 2002.
My dam (doggy mom) is Sierra Red River Magic on the Water. Sierra past away two years ago.
I’m a doggy female look-alike Sierra.
Can you see the similarities?

My family decided to commemorate my
doggy parents, Sierra and Mash.
doggy parents, Sierra and Mash.
Si is from Sierra and Ma is from Mash = SIMA

What a great story! It is nice to know your parents, I'm a little jealous of Carmen and pups like you because I really didn't get to know my mom. Not sure I ever even saw my dad. But we are all so lucky to have great HUMAN parents, so the rest is just details, right?

Hi Sugar – Thanks for sharing your story! You have a quite an impressive linage! I also really like your name and think it suits you very well!
I did get your message about Chicago. We have thought about moving to Evanston or Wilmette so my little (human) could have a nice yard. We have a small yard, but she really needs more space to run around – I might enjoy it too!
Your neighbor, Pip

Perfect name for you. My Name Game will post tomorrow….it was a WHOOPS on the blog today….However, Mike and Beth weren't as creative as your mommy and daddy were….you'll see….
Sugar, I can't believe I missed your post. There were so many, I guess, but I usually see yours. Anywhooo, I love the post. I just figured you were called Sugar because you're so sweet, which is true, of course, but the back story about the Lalique puppy add even more interest. It's so nice when someone's dream comes true like that. And thank you for telling us all about your doggy pawrents. You do look like your Mom, but they were both real good looking Goldens.
wags, Lola
Great story! Your name is perfect for you!
