💗 In Loving Memory of Sophie Marie 💗
Our hearts are incredibly heavy as we share that we said goodbye to our sweet Sophie Marie last night.
Sophie came into our lives a little over a year ago, and in that time, she became so much more than our hospital dog. She became family.
If you’ve visited Martin Downs Animal Hospital, chances are you knew Sophie. She came to work every day, made herself comfortable up front, greeted our clients, supervised the front desk, and quickly became a familiar little face that so many people looked forward to seeing.
While Sophie belonged to all of us at MDAH, she truly found her person in Michelle. Michelle became her mama, her safe place, and her home. Their bond was incredibly special, and Sophie could not have been more loved.
Losing her has left a huge hole in our hospital and in our hearts. Today, the front desk will feel a little quieter. Her spot will feel very empty. We know many of you will notice that she isn’t there, and we ask for a little extra grace for our team—especially Michelle—as we adjust to coming to work without our girl.
Sophie’s time with us was far too short, but we are so grateful that we had the privilege of loving her and giving her a life surrounded by people who adored her.
Rest easy, Sophie Marie. 🤍
You were so very loved, and you will be so very missed.
