Dedicated to the memory of SOPHIE BRIDGE

This site is a tribute to SOPHIE BRIDGE, who was born in CHELMSFORD on March 18, 1990. She is much loved and will always be remembered.

Sophie, You came into my life on my birthday July 5th, on a beautiful sunny day. I walked into the lounge and there you were, on the sofa. The most beautiful ball of fluff I ever saw my first little girl, - a forever friend for Yogi. The most gentle, 'dopey' Shih Tzu  You had some gorgeous Pups over the years, all with your placid, loving temperament.

A dog like you leaves pawprints on our hearts for all time-Love youxxx

DEAREST SOPHIE- ALL YOU 4 DOGS HAVE BEEN ON MY MIND LATELY- SPIKE, YOGI, ZENTU AND YOU . I WISH I COULD GO BACK TO THOSE WONDERFUL YEARS WHEN THE HOUSE WAS FULL OF DOGS AT MALDON- How different life was then...not perfect, but all lifes experiences included you. So many , from my birthday - and you were sitting in the lounge, waiting- Colin's present to me❤ You were such a placid loving girl- a bit dopey but that added to your appeal. All.4 of you were a unit- Remember the many walks? How you always shared a bed with Yogi. And your beautiful pups? I never wanted to part with them! We had those amazing holidays, all of us, but you barked a lot at night, it was strange for you. Then we moved to the seaside- Colin sadly left us in 2002 Spike, Yogi in 2003 Then,that day you suddenly started limping - My intuition told me it was to be bad news- it was- and I nursed you from November until January 2003, when you went to sleep at home - you went to the Vet but never woke up so you left this world unaware- It was heartbreaking to see you so ill- you had to be lifted outside- i bathed your eyes every day , gave you your medication, sat up with you each night- Gave back a small portion of the Love you gave to us for 14 years - Zentu was devastated, he was the Dad to your pups and he loved you 20 years ago today. I imagine you as an Angel- You were one on Earth - Love you until we are reunited -ALL of us. God Bless you❤💛💙xxxx

Today, 6th January 2019, it is 15 years since we had to end your suffering. During the 12 months before, we had lost Colin, very suddenly, then my little Spike, your son only 9 years old. Followed bybYogi, Colins best friend, then, you started limping. It was cancer...From November 2003 we nursed you, so easy to care for, happy little girl. Our vet was incredible, she knew the pain we had endured , so many losses and kept you pain free over Xmas. It was hard, we took you out to the toilet, lifting you and carrying you back in. Slept downstairs, you in your basket. You always slept well anyway, but you began sleeping more. When you woke, you would bark, as the New Year dawned, we knew it was time. I sat with you all night, at dawn , I brushed your long, golden and white fur, gently, I bathed your eyes, as I did every day. I talked to you, softly. You were my birthday present 14 years previously- I was with you when you had your pups, we had so many happy years, all of us - I knew you could hear me, you relaxed as I talked about the day we first met, the places you loved- the huge park in Maldon, running round with your friends, the 'Maldon Gang Of 4', as we called you! Walks through the nature reserve, the old railway line- And your first holiday, you adored the beach, trying to chase seagulls and venturing into the sea. You were accident prone- ran into our patio doors, got tangled in brambles. We moved to the seaside- as you got older you lost much of your hearing and your eyesight wasn't good- But we managed , you still ran along the seafront , loved your food, in fact, loved everyone and every animal you met. I told you that you would soon see your Master, Colin, your son, Spike your best friend, Yogi and all the other dogs and pups, wairing at the Rainbow Bridge for you-You started snoring, at 10.00 , wrapped in a blanket, you made your final journey. You never woke up, slipped into the Spirit world, unaware, no pain.
