Sophie 

Our sweet little airegirl Sophie came to us at almost eight years old in April 2015. She needed rehoming due to a “cat issue” and it was our good fortune to adopt her. She immediately settled in and tried to take over, as part of our now 3 dog pack. She was sweet, loving, funny and fierce. She chased after every bird, squirrel, and gopher tortoise she could find; ergo one of her nicknames was “Zena, Warrior Princess”.

She was a quick study and rapidly learned the good and bad habits of her brothers Solo and Duo, including the convenient doggy door and how to find the comfiest human bed or couch on which to lie. Particularly fond of doorways she would lie on her back, feet against the wall to sleep!

She was my little shadow and followed me everywhere in the house, but sadly I had to escort her across the Rainbow Bridge after a very sudden illness. She was active and happy until 3 hours before she crossed, and is greatly missed. We were lucky to be able to share our lives with her, but she has left a hole in all of our hearts. We will always think of her as our little angel watching over us!
