On Thursday, July 23rd 2020 I lost my sweet dog Sophie. She had started having seizures about a year ago and had 2 the previous Wednesday before she passed. I took her to the vet Thursday and got her medicine, I was feeling hopeful that we could get the seizures under control. When I came home from the vet I gave her her first dose of the medicine, she had another seizure and this time she didn't wake up from it. My heart is so broken and raw. I miss her with my whole being. She was like another child to me.
Sophie was the sweetest dog you could ever meet she was so innocent and just full of joy and love. She was nearly 9 years old but she had the heart of a puppy, wanting to play and run.
Sophie was the runt of the litter and she had some disabilities since birth including angular limb deformity, she was in splints the first 3 months of her life, but she never let her disabilities slow her down she woke up every day happy and full of joy and bringing joy and happiness to our household.
Sophie had a sister when she was a pup named Maddy. Maddy and Sophie were the best of friends. Maddy taught Sophie the ropes, how to go potty outside, how to beg, how to do the happy happy (wiggle around on her back looking all cute).
Maddy passed away 3 years ago.
Sophie was mopy after Maddy passed away and eventually we decided to get a friend for Sophie. We went to Halo animal shelter and adopted a sweet Beagle we named Carrie.
Over the last 2 3/4 years Sophie and Carrie were playmates. Carrie at 2 and a half years old is a very playful energetic dog and became the play buddy Sophie always wanted. They'd play tug of war with ropes, beg for food together, and snuggle together.
When Sophie wanted something she would yell at you (bark) until she got it. It would start as a low bark and the longer she waited til she got what she wanted it would get louder and louder, she could not be ignored.
When Sophie wanted to go our she'd hit the wooden blinds to our back door letting us know it was time to go out, very smart of her.
When Sophie was hungry she'd rub against you like a cat.
Sophie had several nicknames my husband called her snow paws, because of her white paws on 3 of her feet. I called her wiggle waggle because when she got excited she would wiggle her whole body. My daughter called her Sopher doper, just because it rhymed lol.
While losing her hurts to the core of my being I am so grateful to have known her and been her human mama for her entire life. I love her so much and will never forget this sweet angel pup. I pray she's in heaven playing with her sister Maddy and that one day I will be reunited with her.
Be at peace my sweet angel girl. Mama loves you. xoxo
