It was 4th of July weekend, 2010. I saw her picture on the Humane Society website and knew, she was the new best friend who would come to live with me. As soon as it opened after the holiday, I called and told the lady on the phone, "I'm coming in to meet Sophie. Don't let anyone leave with her, please! I'll be there in as soon as I can. We live on a farm 30 minutes or so away. Please don't give her to anyone else!"
We took a quick walk, I filled out paper work, and within an hour after meeting, Sophie and I were going back to the farm. It was love at first sight! The staff all loved her, too, and seemed satisfied that I would be a suitable new owner for this sweet and very special favorite.
Sophie was born and raised in western Washington on May 19, 2001. We said goodbye to her on December 19, 2016. She was 15 years, 7 months old, still as sweet as ever, and very tired. Each member of her family, my family, had a chance to say good-bye beginning in October when my children and grandchildren came to visit. We have been so blessed to have shared these few years with this little furry being of pure love! She will live forever in our hearts and our memories.
