Sweet Sugar leaves for the rainbow bridge…

Sugar Joan Elliott Hohman Junior
March 4, 1998- February 22, 2007 10:15pm PEBT

Our dear friend Sugar departed yesterday for the rainbow bridge. She is survived by Lana and Rocco Elliott Hohman. Many of you who visit this site on a regular basis will know the Blog, Bongo’s House. It is listed on my blog roll. Well, in honor of Sugar, it has been re-named Bongo and Sugar’s house. Bob has made a tremendous slide show in honor of Sugar and you can view this on his blog. Click on Bongo and Sugar’s house on the right of this post, under the blog roll. We have also started an album in the gallery dedicated to Bongo and Sugar. They were litter mates who NEVER were parted until Bongo passed. Now they are together, forever. Bob and Dodson are great Dads.
We love you Sugar. More Later….Cat, Chaps and Emma

    Sugar, your white face just touched me. I have several white faces looking at me right now. I am so glad you have your brother with you. He looks strong. Maybe his strength will help all that loved you both. Bette, Brooke, Howard, Jake, and Baby.

    I am on my way to the Suncoast event. I logged on to bassethoundtown.com one more time to see what Chaps was saying. I was so sorry to hear his message. My hounds are loaded and in the car. I had to stop for a moment and tell you both how sorry I am. I love watching Sugar on YouTube. I have a stumble in my breath. Love, Dedee, Blake, and Sammy.

    I just watched Sugar’s tribute video. Thank you. I am now going to try and learn this wonderful technique. This is such a lesson for us all. I want something like this for my hounds. Thank you Bongo and Sugar’s House. Cary, Sammy and Joey.

    Dear Sugar: This is Chaps and Emma’s grandma. I know you are still watching us and you are with Bongo. Make sure your Dads are OK. I feel sure, that you are fine. It is so hard on us when we loose sweet kids like you. Love, Chaps and Emma’s Grandma.

    Hi Cat: Brenda here. Up late and working at the ER. Some of the nurses are checking in and saw your update about a beautiful gal named Sugar. Well, we are crying. As if we don’t have enough to sob about! What a darling hound. We wish her family well. Love, the ER nurses and all the crazy doctors.

    Old people don’t sleep. I was up and checking on Chaps. I see that a much loved hound has passed. She was very lovely. I feel close to her as we both have very white hair. I know she will be missed. My first ever dog, 60 years ago, was named sugar. She was a mutt. A very loved mutt. I still miss her. Love, Ruth.

    Please express our condolences to Sugar’s and Bongo’s daddies. We also know the pain they are experiencing and are very sad for them. We lost our brother, Tip, and Sister, Tonga, in 2004 and still love them very much and think of them every day. Sugar and Bongo were very lucky hounds to have such loving daddies. Sincerely, Dudley, Abbey and Molly

    I really was touched by all the comments about Sugar. It seems when comments are needed everyone wants to help. Me too. I pulled a picture of Sugar off of your site for my screen saver. What a sweet face. I also love the video you just posted of that pup from England. It almost seems like Ying and Yang. Did I get it? Barry
