My deepest thanks to everyone who offered prayers & sympathy regarding Sophie's passing. I was able to personally respond to most comments. However, about 18 of you are linked to Google+ & for whatever reason you come through as a no-reply blogger.
On Wednesday I received a most unexpected gift in the mail from the vet's office ... a little Plaster of Paris heart with Sophie's name, year of passing, & her paw print. I cried & cried. How thoughtful of them to do such a thing! I will treasure it always.
The photo is not very good, but you get the idea. It's comforting to be able to pick up the heart & stroke her little paw print. I always liked stroking her little paws. They were so soft & pretty.
Here's another photo of Sophie, napping on a chair which sits across from where I have my laptop. It was another one of her favorite places to nap.

Wow, what a thoughtful, caring vet and staff. I know you'll always miss Sophie. I hope you and John find with the passing of time that the missing will not be so painful.

That is such a kind and thoughtful thing for the Vet to do. I am sure you will treasure this memento.
What a beautiful, thoughtful gift. Thinking of you x
Oh Shirlee, it's so tough - you will be missing your little loved one so much, she was such a pretty girl. I hope you can relax a little and take some joy in Easter weekend.
It is a lovely gift to treasure. {{{hugs}}}
I have never heard of that way of remembering a beloved pet, but I think it is so special, Shirlee. I know you miss her each and every minute...
What a super sweet thing to do. Our vet's office sent us a sympathy card signed by all the staff when we lost our Haley. I still have that card and it's been nearly seven years ago. {{Hugs}}
I got a paw print for Millie too. It is a comforting keepsake

Oh my - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss! I've not kept up with my bloggy friends the past three weeks - DD and GS have been here - the heart and paw print is so lovely. My heart breaks for you. I truly understand.

Lovely post Shirlee - sending you hugs my friend xx
Yes, they do that now. We have one for my 'Kody Bear'. It too is in 'my room' and I feel like he is with me. I will never forget him and I tear up each time I start thinking of how much I miss getting my BIG hugs from my boy.
Love your blog too.
Peace & Blessings always, Barb
My vet does the same type of thing. Such a sweet and comforting gesture!
