The wife had a little white ball of fur similar to the one above. The dog was a Bichon Frise but had the recessive gene that gave it hair more like a Maltese. The wife rescued her from a bad situation when the dog was only 9 months old. Lady Sophia Jane quickly became a member of the family. Even our old cat loved this dog. When the cat passed a few years latter Sophie began to show signs of severe separation anxiety. I found Monte, a 4 year old champion Havanese who's owner was looking to retire him. He became her "boy toy" and things were great for many years.
Little Sophie started going down hill a couple of years ago. When I was terminated from my job I spent almost all my time with her. Even though Monte was still here she left him and became my shadow. Everywhere I went she had to come along. Even down in my computer room she had to have her own little bed. Earlier this year we had to have put to sleep. I miss my little shadow and Monte keeps looking for her in all her old hideouts.
The first photo is of Sophie in the wife's arms.
The second is of Monte
The third was a Mother's Day gift our girls gave to the wife.
