A Great Loss

Sophie Marie November 6, 2002-March 29, 2009.

On Sunday afternoon my precious Sophie was hit by a car and died almost instantly. She died doing what she loved, being outside and hanging out with Wes. I know Sophie is just a dog but she was more than a dog, she was part of our family. She was my first baby and my princess. She was spoiled rotten and had a mind of her own. Her favorite spot was on the couch looking out the window, she loved seeing what was going on in the neighborhood and sleeping the day away. She was such a great companion. Anywhere I was Sophie would shortly follow, in the bathroom, putting the boys to bed or watching TV she was always close by, wanting to sit in my lap. And if I would have know she would be taken so soon I would have let her in my lap all the time. Sophie loved playing fetch, with Pinky. As soon as you would pick her ball up she would be at attention, she would stay that way never flinching until you threw the ball. She loved being outside, playing in the snow, visiting the neighbors yards and just lying in the sun. Although she loved sniffing other yards and wandering around she would always come home. We never had a problem with her running away, she knew this was her home. She loved chasing cats, anytime there was a cat in our yard Sophie would freak out until we would let her out to chase the cat out of her territory. Thank you Sophie for keeping the cats out of my flowers, thank you for keeping me warm at night, thank you for cleaning up after the boys eat, she was our own doggie vacuum, thank you for being sassy, grumpy and being the best little dog our family could have. I know the boys drove you crazy, but you never hurt them and I loved you for that. I am sorry that I couldn't stop you from going in the road, I am sorry that you can't be with us anymore. We will miss you more than you will know. You have brought so much joy into our lives. My heart hurts so much, my eyes are swollen from crying. I miss you so much. I am sorry! I love you more than I showed you. You were my princess and my friend. I will miss you, thank you for being a part of our lives, thank you for being the best dog anyone could have. We will miss you! Goodbye Sophie Marie.
