Sophie

My sweet Sophie's poor body has finally had enough.  We got back from Michigan to find that she was basically totally lame.  She could not walk without major assistance.  I know it wasn't easy for her to accept so much help.  She took great pride in taking care of everyone around her.

We've been together 14 years.  The first night she came home with me she was so scared.  I lied down with her on the floor and hugged her and talked with her and she settled down.  After that night she made it her mission to take care of me.

She was a big mushy mush dog for those she loved.  But if you were a stranger at her door there was a good chance you'd be scared.  I've had many a note left by deliver or repair people letting me know that Sophie frightened them and could I maybe keep her away from the doors or windows when they arrived.

She was so very sweet and always with me.  Doesn't matter where in the house I went she was right by my side.  I will miss her, I will always love her.
