The original goal was reached in like 2 hours, I can't believe how kind

people have been! It's amazing! I'm raising the goal to 1,200. Trying

to keep this positivity train rolling. All of it will still goto the

Allen County SPCA. This has been truly heartwarming. Thank you so much.



Today

is one of the worst days of my life. This isn't hyperbole, I can only

think of three or four days that would be able to eclipse it in the

terrible department. All of those too involve the loss of someone or

something I care about. Today our dog Sophie left us and I am absolutely

broken hearted. Crushed, I sit here and write this in between breaking

down in tears. I feel like I'm usually pretty upbeat maybe even a bit of

a clown, but that's all just a front for how soft I am inside,

especially when it comes to the human and non humans I care about.
If

you are one of the people who says "it's just a dog" its ok, this is

not for you. In fact I'm not even sure who it's for, maybe it's my own

personal therapy.
Four-ish years ago Sophie chose us to live with.

We originally went to the SPCA to look at a Beagle puppy but while

wondering back through the kennels to see it, Sophie jumped on the side

of hers and actually got us in trouble. In an effort to limit the spread

of infection they ask that you don't pet the animals in the kennels but

we couldn't resist. The lady scoffed at Leslie and I. We met the beagle

who was really cool, but ultimately we knew Sophie, then named "cutie"

was the one for us.
I think a lot animals are like humans , they are

just looking for some dignity, love, and companionship. Also like many

of us, shelter pets are part of the disenfranchised. Not all, but many

are part of the unlucky, strange, weird, and awesome outcasts just

looking for a fair shake in this world. A little empathy goes a long

way.
Sophie ended up at the shelter because her owner went to jail

and that persons parents thought she was too good to not make sure she

went to a home. They were right, she was too good. She deserved more

than 5 years but the world felt otherwise. We did everything we could

but in the end, the lymphoma she was diagnosed with was too aggressive

for the treatments we tried.
She was so cuddly and sweet. No matter

your mood she would snuggle up next to you and let you know that this

world isn't so bad. She was more than that. Sophie was a world class

seat thief, a connoisseur of fine dirt in which she napped on, and had a

taste for only the cheapest of dog treats. More so she was family.
