Happy 100th Birthday, Sophie Doggie!
We all laughed, sang and enjoyed our amateur parading skills. We only made it to the end of the block before coming back for bowls of water, a puppy pool and ice cream.
Miracle Dog Update…
In dog years, Sophie will be 100 on Monday, July 9!
We are planning a parade. Actually.
Sophie Doggie and her 730 Bonus Days
Our journey these 730 days, since her imminently terminal diagnosis on April Fool’s Day 2016, has been crazy and unexpected. I’m thankful for every day with her.
The Miracle of Love. Or Lemons.

Since we really didn’t want to make her miserable with painful surgery and regular stressful rides to the vet for chemo, I decided to make her comfortable at home. Her mouth was tender from where the tumor had been cut to biopsy, I began to soak her lamb and rice food in water to soften it. And… we increased her walks. If she had as little as a few days left, we were going to make them happy. She got 2 to 3 walks per day, with few lousy weather exceptions.
At this point, we were mourning her every day. She was still with us, but we were crying as we were watching her die. It took me about 6 weeks to just focus on appreciating every day with her.
