Sophie's Song
Nine years ago we chose you and you trained us You came home in our van, it became your bus. Marc and Paul were your boys, you were not interested in other toys. Five months old you were a pup, big paws and head, still growing up. In the your van you rode around, going to Meadview and out of town. When we first took you, down to the dock, your eyes widen, as though you were in shock Your first sight of the big water dish, you stared in surprise at the things, we called fish. You firmly planted big paws at the dock, and refused to walk on the thing that rocked. When you saw your Dad float, you bravely walked out to look at the strange boat. Once again your eyes widening, you turned back to go into hiding. EJ picked you up and stepped in, then your face had a big wide grin. The boat picked up speed, you put your nose in the air, and for the first time, you enjoyed the wind in your hair To the beach we did go, all along, you watched the water flow. Your humans did the strangest thing, diving into the water for a swim. Dads head suddenly reappeared, but his body had disappeared. We heard a bark and a woof, as you took a second startled look. You did not want to jump in and swim, but with great dignity you walked in. We saw the joy and smile on your face, as in the soft sand, you dug in your own space. You made your needs known with all of those faces, travelling with us to a great, many places Grooming your fur was a pleasure, the time it took, your mum, came to treasure. Dont forget, comb underneath, clean my eyes, my ears and brush my teeth. There were times you made us laugh, when you walked into the shower and waited for a bath. For many years Dad travelled to earn all your kibble, then returned to spoiled you with a tasty nibble. Through the years we walked many miles, bunnies and ducks brought great big smiles. With time on our hands, by the lake we did loiter, while you behaved, more like a pointer. Other times you were all Pyrenees, while you hooked our ankles and nudged our knees. Of independant spirit, loyal, warm and loving, wonderful group hugs, you were giving. Like your family, friends EJ, Jason, Lee and Darlene watched you grow from a pup into a Queen. We would have wished for longer time, our reward in having you in our lives is great and though we will miss you and our hearts feel as though they will break. Now it is our turn, to give you the freedom to fly and let your spirit soar up to the sky. We love you Sophie our Queen, we bid you a fond farewell our friend and companion, Love from your human parents, Mum and Dad Chris and Doug Nanfito--
