Thanks again to all who expessed well wishes to Carol and I concerning Sophie. She went down hill fast just these past two days and we had to relieve her pain. She went peacefully around 2pm today. She was a great dog giving much more than she ever ask for. Sophie will be missed by all who knew her. No need to respond I just wanted to let everyone know. Thanks, Ross.

Tell Sophie to look for Emmett, the Saint Bernard with the jackrabbit in his mouth. He's waiting for her.

...and Mindy, the mostly white terrier mix who never met a dog, or person, she didn't like.

...And Junior, a big Dobie who's been up there since '93, & should know his way around...-Sandy G.

And Boomer, the biggest black Lab you've ever seen, with a bark to match his name. He'll likely be soaking wet, with a Mallard in his mouth.

And Cookie, my beagle-toy collie mix, who actually knew how to smile when she saw me.
Tom

And Pete, my border collie/dachshund cross & my good friend, who read books with me.

And:

* Lucifer (Newfoundland/Wolf mix), most vicious/loving pup, an outlaw biker could ever have

* Cheyenne (Great Pyrenese), so smart I never had to teach him a thing, yet he taught me so much... :tears:

* Sheena (Short-haired St. Bernard), so dumb, I was never able to teach her a dang thing. G_d I miss her.

* Nimrod (Bordeaux Mastiff), thought he was people, and was among the best people I've ever known

* Mimi (Nimrod's sister), she was my girl, and I still think of her every day

Rich P :tears:

Then again, she might want to avoid our two beloved katz, Griswold (a Maine Coon "mutt" who lived to age 20) and The Spare Cat (an American Shorthair foundling who survived loss of both eyes and other adversity, only to succumb a few years later to a congenital heart problem).

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Ross.

Frankie J. Dawg (long hair weenie-dog) and Underdog (cute loveable mutt) will be there waiting to play with her too!

And Dudley our beloved Bassett. Sorry Bro.

Shadow, My dads big German Shepard and Troubles my cat. He thought he was a dog and acted like one.

and there will be Randi, our Sheltie/Spitz mix who knew he was people, Thomas Magnificat a 20 pound Russian Blue, and Kitty Mou his sister, from my childhood Lady a mostly spaniel, and Laddie and Teddy two of her boys and Smokey a Persian/Angorra cat.

Rob

Snowball, a yellow lab, and the nicest guy you could ever hope to meet, is probably hitting on her already. He was a real ladies man.

And Marbles the Wonder Cat, a big gray guy who loved everyone he met.

Sorry for your loss Ross.

...and Shelby ( hence my handle) the cutest Rottie you ever laid eyes on!!!

And Storm, who was actually softer than cotton, and twice as lazy.
