When we adopted our first Sophie she was named after another dog named Sophie that bit someone and I worked on that lawsuit defending the owner. We both cried when she had to put her Sophie to sleep, so I named our Yorkie that. After our Sophie passed from cancer, we got another rescued Yorkie we named Sophie 2 who later passed from Kidney failure. We will be looking for Sophie 3 next year to replace them. Both great dogs, affectionate and intelligent.... We miss them both, its tough...
