Sophie's first day at home, September 28, 2008
Today, our darling girl went to heaven. Her condition had been deteriorating for some time, and we thought it was nearing time. We brought her into the vet for a quality of life assessment. The vet noticed that a mass had started to form in her stomach. It was time.

It was far more difficult than I expected. We knew this day would come, but it was still the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. I can’t believe she was only 2 and a half years old. I’m alternatively “okay” and feeling like I have a rock on my chest. I can’t believe she’s really gone.
I miss her so much. I loved her so much. I hope to feel normal again at some point.
The last picture I ever took of Sophie. Her ears are all floppy because of the steroid treatments. This was January 21. She had personality and sweetness until the very end.
I’m so sorry. Losing a pet is so hard. It sounds like you were loving parents and that she had a good life with you.
