Today my family grieves, for we had to say goodbye to yet another beloved family pet, Sophie. Sophie spent 16 years with our family and watched my sister and I grow from teenagers to women.
While it's a sad day, I find comfort in how Sophie left this Earth. She went peacefully at home, with mum and dad at her side. The whole family got to say goodbye and Sophie even let us know it was ok by giving mum and dad one last kiss.
This post is for my parents, because it has not been easy for them for the past few months, as Sophie aged more and more and started really slowing down. This didn't stop mum and dad though, 69 and 70 years old, respectively. They'd clean up accidents, wash doggy diapers, clean the carpet, and hold her bum up to pee when needed. Sophie was slowly slipping away from us, and my parents made her absolutely comfortable every single moment, right up until the very end. This is how all dogs should be treated, with the utmost care and respect and I am forever grateful to have such wonderful, compassionate people as parents.
We will miss you dearly, sweet Sophie. May you find your peace with all of the other Drury dogs that have found their way to The Rainbow Bridge.
