I got very sick suddenly--my kidneys failed and I failed quickly in just days. My parents and vet did everything within their power to save my life but I was just too ill. Mama couldn't stand seeing me feeling so terrible. During my last hour she told me that if I needed to run to God that I could and that she would be alright. I drew my last breaths with my Mama and Daddy's arms around me and heard them telling me how much they love me and what a good girl I am. I know that my parent's loved me every moment that we were together--they never even would take a vacation without me! Their lives revolved around me! When Mama woke up in the morning the first thing she always did was pick me up and give me a big hug and kiss my cheek! I know she must be missing that hug everyday! Daddy must miss me following him out to the bird feeders to fill them up. They must miss me sitting in their laps on the front porch at night--I had to divide my time between the two of them so they would both know how much I adored them. They must miss me snooping in the cabinets, going through Mama's purse, tearing up magazines under the bed or shredding newspapers. Mama must miss me helping her water the garden and how I chased the water relentlessly, trying to bite it--or how I attacked the vacuum cleaner and tried to destroy the evil creature. I know they must miss me terribly, because I know how important I was to them each and every single day of their lives. I never questioned how much I was wanted and loved and protected by them and the fact that I was their darling little Princess. Mama told me they would be alright, but I am sure it has been hard missing their little someone they loved as much as they loved me. Mama planted beautiful flowers all around me and comes to tend them every single day. I am part of Mama and Daddy now--they still cry about me but sometimes they laughwhen they remembers my silly ways. I can still make my parents laugh! As long as Mama and Daddy live on I will too, and I will make them laugh and smile thinking of me...little Sofie.

My brother Shaggy died young, before I was born. Mom says everyone was very upset and still can't talk much about it. I'm sure your mommy will take care of your flowers and think of you all the time.

It was nice of you to stop by and look at my diary and pictures and leave a note...that made my Mom smile

Sophie,

I wish I had known you!

Your mommy and I were best friends years ago, and it sounds like you had a lot of her personality--a curiosity about everything around her, a enormous capacity to give and receive love, and a sense of humor that was delightful!

Of all the doggie homes you could have landed in, God guided you to the best!

I'm sure it wasn't the quantity of your days that counted, but the quality of every moment you found in the Tucker home and hearts.
