Sophie

With Tears streaming down my face: a little dedication to the Princess of Parsley.


God Speed to the Bridge Miz Princess Sophie. We love you and miss you. Find all the PetTalk family members that you loved thru your mom and kiss them for us. Shaianne baby, Take care of the Miz Sophie!


Tonya please go to www.petloss.com and maybe you can find some comfort there.

Dear Tonya ~

I'm So Sorry.

:(

My tears are making typing difficult -
I'll try to do better later...

Please know that ALL of us are grieving with you -

Miss Sophie will always be our Favorite Bunny.

/s/ Phred :(

Zippy,

I am shocked to hear about Sophie and more upset than I can say. She, and you, inspired me to take in Casey, my elderly lady who so much looks and acts like she's Sophie's twin. My heart breaks for you and what you've been through. I know that time you took off from work really was one of the best things you could have done for her and yourself, and shows so much love.

I think Sophie is probably having a great time up on Rainbow Bridge playing with my Suzie, and beloved bunnies from our sanctuary.

I hope some day, when the time is right, you will see a way to adopt another bunny.... I believe they truly help us heal.
My prayers are with you. :(

So sorry about Sophie. ((HUGS))

I don't know how many people noticed me yesterday as I walked first with Hannah and then Tucker, but I was talking quietly as I walked to our Sophie in the Sky. What was said was between Sophie and me. Tonya, I guess you can tell how much we loved the little girl we learned to know through you. If it hurts this much for us to know she is gone, we can hardly imagine how much it hurts for you. I only hope that our sharing your sorrow is of some comfort to you. There will be times you want to talk about this and times you don't. Please know that we are here for you anytime you do, either in this forum or privately.

miz tonya, dis is leonardo, miz sophie's birfday frin. i asked mawmee and she said we can do dis. on my birfday next year we will light an extra candle for mis sophie so she will see we still love her and want to help her wif her birfday party at da rainbow bridge. we have alreddy marked da calender thingy and made a note. i asked mawmee why miz sophie had ta go. she said sometimes god takes da most special animals early because he needs them for some very special reason, maybe a little child needs some extra comfort only a special animal can help wif obber dare an someday god will splane it all to us when we are all dare together forever.
bye for now miz sophie til we meet ober dare.

:( :( :(

Tonya,

I'm new to the board, but have been reading my e-mails and the posts here about Sophie, and you were in my prayers over the weekend. When I read the e-mail all I could think of was OH NO! I was weeping! I'm so sorry for your loss. As I read all of the posts I know your Sophie was very special to everybody!

I can't even begin to say how sorry I am to hear about Sophie. I was praying so hard that she would beat the odds once more and was so saddened when I read the news this morning. No doubt she meant a lot to you because she also meant so much to all of us here. She was a true Pet Talk family pet, and will dearly be missed. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time and we are all here for you.


Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest
There is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed.
For all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not,
The fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath
Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death,
But celebrate my life.

Thank you everyone.

Yesterday, as I burried my heart in the backyard, I decided I wasn't going to post anymore. Though this is my 'second home' I feel strangely out of place; this is a pet board and I have just a gentle (raw) memory. Before I go, I just wanted to tell you all how continually amazed I am by your offering of love and support. All of these posts are absolutely beautiful. Miz Sophie would be blushing by now and to make Miz Sophie, the bold -sometimes brash- bunster, blush is quite a feat! I cherish each and every post--I have printed them out and will treasure them forever.

I have always, always, always considered myself a cat person...but not any longer. That Miz Sophie *thumped* the lagomorphs into my heart and soul; I am officially a bunnie person. She had such a vivacious personality--rarely frightened, thumping when royally PO'd, begging at the fridge for carrots, runnin' full tilt everytime she heard the treat bag rattle, standing in front of the ocilating fan--ears a' flappin' in the breeze, a weakness for nose skritches, and a sucker for kissie sessions (or maybe that last one was me....).

I keep waiting to feel nudges on my ankles, the kisses on my nose, her whiskers brush against my skin... and it's just gone! No noise from the cage, no grunts from the food bowl, no purring from the floor ... no noise of any kind. The cage, the room, the house, (and my heart) are entirely too quiet.

Syldion, I feel so honored for Sophie to "have" your very first post. I am truly in awe of how many people this lil' bun touched; I never realized there were so many. I heartfully thank you for your prayers and well wishes. You will love pet talk and its family.

The Fed Ex man just delivered 15lbs of oat hay, 5lbs of timmy hay, and a treat basket; I haven't the heart to return them.

Last night, I could've swore I felt her on my pillow. Her cage is still up, the door still open.... should her spirit come to visit, I want her to know she is still welcome.

To all my friends here, I send much love. Please feel free to contact me by email ( [email protected] or [email protected] ), by phone, or by address. Perhaps one day, I'll be back with a new furbabe to share with you. Until then, you have my love and best wishes.

A few words of wisdom, taught to me by a certain somebunnie...

Getz into trubblez often but lookz cutiez whenz you doz-
Whenz sumbunniez cryin', jist kizz da tearz awayz-
Poopin' on da bedz will onlee getz you sentz to yer cage-
Peein' on pillowz getz da same resultz-
Neber turn downz a gud snugglez 'n ear skritch-
If it rattlez, den itz prolly gotz treatz in it-
Lifez much betterz when you iz houzebrokenz-
Whenz in doubtiez, chew da blanketz 'n carpetz-
Carrotz iz gud, Parzley iz betterz-
Da fridgeagator iz greedy an keepz doze guyz in hiz belly-
Tinker-kat eatz hay; headbuttz her ennie chanze you getz-
Boxer-dog-Sara iz a fraidypup, chaze her 'n laffz-
Makez a mezz when eatin' strawberriez, it lookz bloodie and grozzez mom outiez-

Sum timez, you just gotta *tHuMpZ*



Love always,
Zippy-kat (aka Tonya)

(For those on the Christmas List, don't fret--it'll be taken care of.)

Awww, Tonya, my heart is breaking all over again but I certainly understand your need for a break. I firmly believe that was your sweet bun visiting you on your pillow. She will always be near by. Just because you can't see something (or someone) doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Don't be surprised if another furry face enters your life some day paw-picked by the Princess of Parsley herself. I plan to stay in touch so be forewarned.

oh this is just so sad!! :( :( Tonya I don't blame you for needing a break either. I do hope you decide to come back though. Did you get the email I sent you last night? I will definately keep in touch and I'm praying for you. I'm sure that Sophie did visit you last night.. because she would want you to know that she's ok now. ok I have to stop before I start to cry.. god bless.. :(

Tonya,

I understand the pain, although I can not say anything
that will take it away. Your heart has been ripped from
your body. I too felt totally "dis-connected" from everything
else in my life after I lost my Buddy. Believe me, we all
understand where you are right now. Please take care
of yourself and try to rest when you can. Please know
that you are loved by all here and remembered in our
prayers. Hugs from Liz & Smokey Joe.
