Sophie "Known as Princess Sophia" OR So she thought! Some people would
say she was a spoiled little girl with all of her blankets, toys, tshirt,
treats, etc but we prefer to say she was well LOVED. Sophie was a 5month old
Rhodesian Ridgeback weighing in at 60lbs consisting mostly of all legs and
by far one of the most beautiful dogs people had ever seen (this is not a
biased opinion-everyone on the street thought so and made the comment so
much Sophie thought so too). Sophie lived on the Seattle Waterfront with us
and was a waterfront greeter on walks and was learning to play fetch with
her playmate, dad all the time; mom was the authority figure. A typical
greeting by Sophie was her running up to you, big ears and huge paws
flopping, only to run between your legs face first so when you looked down
all you could see was her butt wagging. She was a stubborn little girl who
use to literally tell us off when we told her the Word "NO." NO was not in
her vocabulary but Sophie did pause and ponder with a small head turn and
then proceeded to the mission at hand. She loved making her own agility
courses in the house and was a huge peanut butter eater of course giving
puppy kisses shortly after. Sophie loved her squeaky toys, sitting on the
couch, sleeping on the bed when "she" felt the need, meeting new people,
going to the dog park, baths and last but not least chasing birds all over
Seattle. Sophie had numerous offers for puppy sitters and an aunt and uncle
who loved to spoil her along with us. She was by far an amazing young puppy
whose life was short lived. She was a puppy who wasn't here that long with
us but made a lasting impact on those around her regardless how long they
knew. Everyone remembered her and on May 10th, many were sad to see and hear
about the loss of Sophie. We truly lost our child but will forever cherish
the memories of Sophie.
