If you haven't heard our sad news, please keep little Sophie in your thoughts as she is having a rough time right now. She snuck over to the neighbor's yard on Friday morning and was attacked by their dog. She suffered two major puncture wounds and multiple contusions and bruising, but so far she is still hanging in there. She spent the day at the vet Friday being treated for shock and trying to get stable. Friday night we took her to the Animal Emergency Clinic so that they could monitor her overnight and manage her pain. The X-rays show that her organs and spinal cord seem to be in tact and where they should be, so now the biggest risk is an infection. Terry and I are giving her constant care in shifts and she is improving steadily. She has started eating a bit of solid food in addition to the syringe feedings and her swelling and pain levels are subsiding. She has been trying to walk, but doesn't quite have the strength and coordination for it in her back legs yet. She is a tough little thing though—only 4 lbs and 10 weeks old—and she started purring and trying to play less than 72 hours after the attack. Terry and I have had a rough weekend and we have felt a lot of guilt, regret, and worry, but right now we are just glad she is still with us and are focusing on keeping her comfortable and getting her well. Please say a little prayer for her and keep her in you thoughts. Since Terry has developed the habit of calling her Soapy, we have adopted a theme song to help lift our spirits.  "Hang on Sloopy" from the McCoys recorded back in 1965.  Just change the Sloopy to Soapy.  Here is a link to the song.  For our family, I ask that you click it and at least sing the opening chorus "hang on soapy...soapy hang on." Thank you for you kindness and your thoughts for our little furry family member. V
