Sweet Sophie

BullyLady · 09-14-2009, 01:08 PM

Today it has been two years since my sweet Sophie passed away. Last year I
still didn't have the heart to talk about it, so I tried to ignore the one year anniversary.
Instead I cried that night for her. This year I still miss her desperately, but Shelby
and Sirius have helped to heal my heart.

Sophie, you were the best first dog, or best dog at all for that matter, that anyone
could ever ask for. You taught us how to love a dog and how to be loved by a dog
and for that we will never forget you. I hope you are giving my Black Cat happy
puppy kisses for me up there.

Aww Cathleen, I'm so sorry. Sophie was before my time here on BDB but please accept my condolences.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

My condolences to you.

Awww Cathleen! Hugs hon. Sophie was sooo beautiful!!!

I know how you feel about the 1yr anniversary. When Managirl's 1yr mark passed earlier this year, I didn't make a peep about it, not even to The Hubs. I kinda just hid in my room so I wouldn't have to deal w/anybody else. I hope I can be strong enough like you are next year. We'll see.

She was only about 4 when she passed away, we were her fifth owners.
At some point in her life she had been pretty severely beaten and it had
caused spinal damage which in turn caused nerve damage, when we got
her she had next to no feeling in her back legs, but functioned alright any
ways. After about a year with us her spine started to degenerate quickly
and she was paralyzed in her back legs but also in a GREAT amount of pain.
If it was just the paralysis we would have gotten her a wheelchair but
because of the amount of pain she was in we chose to end her suffering.

Thanks for the condolences everyone, I know everyone here knows how hard
it can be, even years later.

That's terrible. I'm glad she lived out her final days in a home that loved her. Again I'm sorry for you loss.

I am so sorry Cathleen.
I am just glad that Sophie got to experience the love and the home that you and Eric provide for your animals.
RIP Miss Sophie.
