I’ve always believed that when God created his kingdom he filled each living animal with a part of his soul. Those animals that we are able to turn into pets just happen to possess a larger part of His soul. As it turns out dogs have been given the largest part of all. This is what gives them the ability to give such unconditional love to their human companions.
Smith’s Madam Sophia as she was legally named but known to all who knew and loved her as Sophie came into this world on July 19 1991 and into my life 6 weeks later. During her short life of 10 years she became companion confidant protector friend and a source of deep love and comfort.
From the first time I saw her as she came running along side of her mom to greet me appearing as a black and white ball of fur all ears and eyes to the way she crawled on to my lap and immediately went to sleep for the ride home she captured my heart and from that point on became the focus of my life. Through the years the good times and the bad she was there always loving never questioning and constantly watching over me.
Some might say she was spoiled. Maybe so I just considered her to be pampered. Although she sometimes appeared snobbish to other dogs no one was a stranger she was a friend to all people especially children.
Sometime during the early morning hours of Dec. 3 2001 God chose to return her part of his soul back to it’s heavenly home guiding her quietly across the Rainbow Bridge. There lying on the floor in one of her “favorite spots” is where I found her lifeless body. Sometime during the night she had quietly gotten off of the bed laid down and took her last journey. Her soul had left her earthly body taking with it a large part of my heart that will never be replaced. You see she was that “1 in a million” that special pet that all animal lovers have at least once in their life.
Sophie I love you and I miss you so much. I know you’re happy and being well cared for. Wait patiently as I know you can and look for me when that day comes that I too cross that bridge I will never forget you.
