I miss my Sophie

It’s been 9 months since Sophie passed, to the day. About 4 months before she passed, I bought 8 more Gordon’s (pictured) as she loved them. She would tear the hair out and pull all the fluff out… and then we give her another Gordon to do the same. She only made it through 2 of the new Gordon’s before she passed. One was cremated with her and the other sits next to her urn. We have a puppy who also loved the Gordon’s so I got him out one in a toy rotation a few months ago. And tonight I listened to him squeak the Gordon and cried because I miss Sophie. Seeing the joy on her face playing with her favorite toy, tearing it apart and smiling a mile wide as we egged her on.. I don’t regret getting a Gordon out for Arlow, they need put to use. Sophie wouldn’t want them to stay in a box. But it was a really bittersweet moment, which I seem to be having a lot more of lately.
