Today we had to say goodbye to our faithful friend and member of the family, Our Sweet Sophie Lu. Sophie was 14 years and 2 months old. Rob and I were remembering the day we brought her home (in August, 1993) to our condo in Schaumburg. She rode on the front seat in between us all the way from Edwardsville, Illinois. That was a long trip for such a little puppy! Sophie has been through a lot with our family over the years, including being knocked out of "top dog" spot when Adam arrived in 1998 and then again in 2002 when Emily was born. She couldn't believe when we actually brought another one of them home! But she was always concerned as to where they were and what they were doing (and always hung around under their chairs at dinnertime!) One of her favorite things was sitting in the sun in the front yard where she could keep a watchful eye on the kids as they played. She was a great dog and a great friend and she will be missed by our whole family.
June 22, 1993 - August 21, 2007

What a great tribute Jennifer!! She will be missed. Tami
I agree with Tami - it was a great tribute. I was so sad to hear about Sophie! I haven't told my Emily yet beccause even though she had only seen Sophie a few times, I'm sure she'll be sad too...
