I dreamed of you last night Sugar. I dreamt that I saw a new picture of your sweet face as I scrolled through Facebook. It shocked me to my core to see your face. I instantly knew it was you and I was shaking. You were alive. You were safe and warm and loved with a young couple whom had found you near the busy highway, dying in the brutal Wyoming winter that very week you went missing. Not knowing anyone else was frantically searching for you, they saved you from an unimaginable fate. One that I cannot bear to think of without completely falling apart. They nursed you back to health, as I once did, and they vowed to keep you safe forever and moved you to California. You looked so incredibly happy...and whole again. My heart was conflicted. Do I speak up and let them know that I too know and love this dog? That my heart has ached for you for nearly two years? Or do I let you live out the rest of your life with these lovely people who saved you when I could not?
.......

Then, just like that, I woke up. And I realized none of that ever actually happened. Tears running down my face, I realized that you are still gone without a trace and I am still heartbroken.

But that dream also made me realize that you are still very much with me everyday and that I do still have hope, though a small piece of that hope dwindles and dies a little each passing day. It's been 18 months since anyone has seen you and that's the reality I have to deal with now. Chances were stacked against you in the worst way when you went missing, but I know you endured unspeakable horrors before I ever met you and there is a light that shines inside you that cannot be dimmed, even when it seems all is lost. So maybe, just maybe, you made it Sugar...I want to believe that.

Anyway, I had to write this dream down. I had to document it for you. Whether you are still in this world or the next, my love and devotion to you remains the same. Unchanged. Unwavering. I will see you again someday Sugar. That promise I can keep.

Love always,

Your first friend in this cruel world

It's been almost a year now since she disappeared. Some days I'm fine and I carry on with my day-to-day despite Sugar being gone. Other days, I can watch a 90 second commercial like this one and I crumble into a million pieces thinking about what happened to her. I can only hope some kindhearted, truck-loving, Wyoming native is spending his days caring for our beloved Sugar the way this man does for his little lost/stray friend in this ad. Kudos to for spreading such an important message. 💕

Still praying for a miracle...

THAYNE / ALPINE / ETNA / AFTON WY areas:

Have you seen Sugar? Our frightened baby girl is STILL MISSING out there.

What does she look like?
🔸solid white American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull type breed)
🔸small/medium build (approx 45 lbs at the time she went missing)
🔸medium-sized tan patch over her left eye
🔸very short, cropped, pointy ears
🔸hazel green eyes
🔸pink collar on when she went missing

Sugar is also microchipped but is terrified of people and has been avoiding all contact since her disappearance. We have reason to believe she may have traveled south from Alpine, trying to stay out of sight and away from heavily populated areas along the way. There has been one unconfirmed sighting in Thayne WY but we need more leads. Now that the weather is warming up, she may become more active in search of a consistent food supply in the area.

Please note: Sugar is extremely skiddish. Please do not chase if you see her. This will only make her more afraid of getting close enough for the sightings we so desperately need. We are asking people to please take a picture of her and the exact location instead of trying to get close to her. Once we know where she is, we can begin working to get her to safety. I am offering $1000 no questions asked for any information that brings my Sugar back home.

Again, that's ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for anyone that can help get Sugar HOME.

Message me here on FB immediately if you have any info about Sugar's whereabouts or contact Lucky's Place at 307-883-7387.

Thank you friends.

Sincerely,
Shannon

Forgive me Sugar.

I broke my promise to you and I've failed you for 5 months now...

It's been 160 long, painful days since you had a warm place to lay your head, a place to call home. It's been so long but I still remember all the special little things about you. How you loved shoulder massages and American cheese. How you had absolutely no hair on your upper lip right beneath your nose and you used to let me smack a kiss right on that spot whenever I wanted. I called it my "sweet spot". I remember how you would hear a new noise in the house, any new noise, and get spooked and run in circles until the fear and anxiety subsided....yes, I remember your fears and I am the one who knew why you were afraid. I know how those monsters hurt you and I just wanted to wipe all those bad memories away. I wanted to erase what they did to you. I still do.

But each day that passes becomes more and more painful to remember those little things and look at your sweet face knowing that I promised you a better life. Every single day I look at your picture and hope to God you are somewhere safe. I pray that someone somewhere will come forward and give me a clue. A sighting. A sign of you. Anything. And yet the days keep ticking by with no trace of you.

You are always on my mind, Sugar. Always. Even when I try to forget for a moment that you're missing long enough to watch a movie or go out to eat with the family. You're always there. And so is that looming feeling of helplessness and guilt that I've failed you. I rescued you but I just couldn't save you from those demons that made you run away from your happily ever after.

It is so unfair what life has done to you. I'm so sorry baby girl...I'm so very sorry.
