I Had To Go

I'm going to miss my human mom. She took good care of me for 16 years but on May 24th, 2024, it was time for me to go. I had a massive seizure and my mom rushed me to the doggy doctor but there was nothing they could do. They wrapped me up in towels and put me on a couch next to my mom, with my head in her lap and she kept petting me right to the end. Some of the people who took care of me came and swapped stories about me with my mom. She talked about how much she loved me and was so happy I was part of her life. They said they loved me and would miss me, too.

Finally, I heard the doggy doctor say it was time so I looked up at my mom to say good-bye and to tell her I was ready and it was okay. I didn't want her to cry but she did. It didn't take long after that and now I'm off to the Rainbow Bridge where I will wait for her for as long as it takes. I've already found the other dogs she loved and we will play together until she gets here.

This is one of the last photos my mom took of me. I was losing my eyesight and she got me a halo harness. 

More Coloring Books!

Look! My mom made more coloring books about me! And they match up with the books she did about me, too! She says maybe kids will see I'm not scary and want to play with dogs of their own and she says people like her human son, who has something called Down syndrome, can learn I feel lots of the same things they feel do 'cuz the books and coloring books show how excited or scared or happy or sad I can get sometimes.

She says she might even figure out a way people who get the newsletter can sometimes get FREE coloring pages about me--ones that aren't in the books!

Sophy Coloring Book

Look! My mom made a coloring book out of my story!

Here's what she wrote about the coloring book:

Laugh with Sophy as chases squirrels, gets in trouble for muddy paws or searches under the Christmas tree for presents. For dog lovers of all ages and capabilities, including those like the author's son who has Down syndrome.

Note: This coloring book is companion to Sophy's Story, the book.

SOPHY'S STORY COLORING BOOK

So now everyone gets to color pictures of me and my story. She even says she's going to set up a newsletter just for people who like my books!  I'll come and tell you about it when she does.

I hope all my friends are having as much fun as I am chasing squirrels now that it's spring again!

My Check Up

At my last checkup the vet said I lost weight. Here's me on the scale.

bObi

My mom got a bObi. It's not very nice.

Sometimes it tries to take my toys. It tried to climb on my paws and nip my tail. I had to tell it to STOP!

It goes where it's not supposed to. I watch it for mom.

It's a good thing it takes lots of naps!

I still don't like it very much.

It's Nice to Lie in the Sun

We've had lots and lots of rain. Too much rain. Today we had sunshine. I like to lie in the sunshine.

I help Mom remember to take some time for ME.
