Sophie has been with us for 1 1/2 years learning how to be a pet and a house dog. She was a hot mess when we got her, and she touched grass for the first time in her life.
We drove up to St. Louis yesterday to meet her new owner, at a hotel across I-70 from Lambert Field. While we walked into the hotel, an F-15 took off with its afterburners firing and Sophie froze for a moment, but did not try to bolt and run. She has become a well adjusted dog. She is eager to meet new people and shows healthy curiosity in strange circumstances.
Here we are, leaving for the flight west. Sophie is the third dog to go way west from us this month. Midwest Schipperke Rescue is literally adopting dogs ocean to ocean and border to border. It is a strange, complex thing to have joy and sadness at the same time for a little dog. She is part of our family, but now she has a better life ahead of her.
Yes, Sophie got into that little crate! Happy Trails, little girl!
