As long as Sophie is pain-free, happy, and enjoying her food, she must be doing well. Long may she endure.

Happy Birthday Sophie may you continue to keep the effects of old age away as long as possible.❤️

And to add, I've just read the story of Sophie's arrival,one lucky girl who surely arrived where she was meant to be after such a poor start in life. Many good wishes to you all.

Happy birthday, Sophie! Looks like she has had an amazing life with you.

My dog does the same thing to "stuffies." I remember getting her some Christmas toys, a stuffed Santa or something, years ago. Destroyed in five minutes!

Oh, that face!! I especially love the pics of her with the kids, but all of them fill my heart. Ellie (doppelgänger) and I send warm wishes to Sophie on her birthday, with hopes that the days ahead are good. ❤️

Fuzzy and I wish Sophie a very happy birthday.

Great pictures, and she clearly loves her life and home.

We lost our beloved dog Haus recently and your presentation about Sophie brought back all the memories of love and affection we shared with this beautiful animal over the years. Haus taught everyone he encountered that life is all about loving kindness and truth and he said it all with his quiet, shining presence. Your great photograph “Waiting For Dad” reflects just what I’m referring to . . . Many thanks for this one, Bill!

So sorry for your loss. Sounds trite. But it is sincere. As we guide Sophie through this last period in her life, loss is happening already. She's limited in her energy. Often confused. Its tough.

So we treasure every day with her. Maybe give her too many treats...

Thanks for sharing, Stewart.
