What a journey it was, truly a gift of a lifetime to have loved her so truly, so deeply, so utterly completely.

    Though I am still in love with you, I want to see you dance again....because I am still in love with you.....on this harvest moon...

    • Oh, Tami, I totally understand. I think one of the hardest things for me is realizing a bond like that is so rare and I may not ever have another Maggie just like there is not another Soaphie. You are so right - just to have experienced it was an incredible gift. I am thinking of you during this anniversary and hoping you are doing well.

          Tami, it was apparent Soaphie received the best care possible from you guys and thoroughly enjoyed being a valued member of your family, as did Sydney.

          Your little girls sure knew they were loved, a lot!

          • Tami,
            I'm thinking of you and your family on this anniversary. From what I hear, the first year our little love bugs are gone is the hardest. It just goes to show you how much love you shared.
            Sending cyber hugs your way,

                  Thinking of you Tami.....it feels so raw when thinking back like that. But know that she is smiling down on you now.

                    Yesterday marked three years since we said farewell to our sweet Soaphie. It's amazing that it's been three years - somedays it seems like yesterday, other days, seems like a long time ago. One thing is for certain - we miss her (and her sister Sydney) greatly!

                    Our current status is two male dogs. Kaj (pronounced "Kai") looks like a blond border collie. He will be three years old on November 1st. He weighs about 47 pounds. He is raising hell as an agility dog and totally crushing it. We are at the advanced level and are just having so much fun!

                    Karl, 3.5 years old, looks like a slim golden mix (but DNA says Australian cattle dog, American fox hound, little chow and some other "stuff). He's a wicked fast runner and loves a good game of chase! He is taking agility class as well, but isn't competing just yet.

                    Both dogs run with me.

                    Both dogs love to snuggle, but Karl - oh that Karl - you could snuggle with him on the floor for three hours and he wouldn't move.....loves a good cuddle session.

                    Hope you all are well! <3

                    Tami, Karl and Kaj (Soaphie/Sydney)
                    Soaphie = 15 yr old Border/Berner mix dx 07/08. ~8.25 units a.m./p.m. vetsulin, blind/deaf. Ultra Senior, Vital Beef/Bison, Brown Rice and lots of loving. Soaphie passed on October 29, 2015. Sydney = 14.5 yr old Aussie/Shar Pei mix dx 11/10. NPH-varies w/ predinisone a.m./p.m., blind/deaf. Sydney passed on June 3, 2014.

                        Happy to see that Karl and Kaj are doing so well and that you are enjoying their company.

                        Both Soaphie and Sydney’s stories were inspirations for Lily and me when we first joined the forum.

                        It’s great to hear good news

                          Hard to believe it's been that long. Sounds like you and your boys are having a blast.
