Pierce wanted a bow tie!

He said "I'm gonna look fancy!"

He looked MORE than fancy!

He looked SO handsome and grown up!!!

 I got teary eyed buttoning his shirt up!

Our Sweet Sophe!

My friend sent this to me after I told her that I had to put Sophie to sleep on 5/19/17

It was one of the hardest days for me.

Sophie has been the sweetest, most calm and quiet presence of our house for 15 years!

I still can hear her purring 

and I feel like I catch a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye. 

I miss her so much!

Her soft fur, her easy way of looking at me like "Please pick me up" 

Her wanting to lay with me in the middle of the night!

and her girl power with me in the middle of ALL THESE BOYS!!

I KNOW she is in a better place and she hadn't been herself for several months, and I KNOW I will see her again, but I miss her so much!!

Love you Sophe!
Go clean Oxford (HA! Thanks Gaga for that reminder)

and run on that Rainbow Bridge!

5/18/17 

my last picture with Sophe. 

I knew something wasn't quite right with her that evening. 

Sweet girl sleeping.

5/20/17
I was blown away when this flower arrangement was on the front porch from Arlington Animal Clinic.  They were so sweet when I lost Sophie.
Thank you Arlington Animal Clinic!  Ya'll are some awesome people!!!
