Sophie
My beloved Sophie is 14 years old today. That's old for a dog, and she shows it. She sleeps most of the time and has a hard time getting around the house. I have to get up at least twice each night to let her out, since she can't hold her urine as long as she once did. I give her the canine equivalent of Tylenol (Rimadyl) for her aches and pains. But she has a good appetite and plays with Shelbie every now and then. Her eyes are still bright. It's sad to see her get old, because for most of her life she was full of energy. Here is my post of three years ago, when Sophie was 11. Here is my post of two years ago, when she was 12. Here is my post of a year ago, when she was 13. I love you, Sophie.

Still, I've lost pets in the past, and I know how hard it is to see them aging.
Here's hoping that Sophie can prosper for a decent amount of time still, and that you two can continue to enjoy one another's company and love.
Pets are the best - no?
