Sophie joined our family in the Fall of 2004, along with another Cocker Spaniel, Cookie. They were found together, along with two other cockers, probably used for breeding as they were each a different color. She was 2-3 years old at that time, so she was about 13 when she passed away on January 17, 2015. This heartbreaking loss occurred just two short months after our tearful good-byes to Cookie. Sophie didn’t really like to play with toys, she wasn’t even bothered by the cats. Sophie would start out on a walk but would quickly decide it was requiring too much effort and would turn back for home. She was happy to nap and be loved on, with an occasional spell of sniffing the grass and flowers. Sophie was the “little sister” to Cookie, always being cared for. As her vision faded, if she was sleeping alone in a dark room, she would bark for someone to turn a light on for her. She loved getting treats and going to visit Mamaw & Papaw. She was so funny about pictures. She could be as cute or still as possible, but as soon as you pulled out a camera, even a phone, she walked away. Once she knew you were taking her picture, she was done, no pictures for her fans. As much as her human family misses her, we know that she and Cookie are reunited, playing and snuggling, on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge
Rest in Peace
