| An update on my Sophie. well we picked her up about an hour ago. i didn't know it was going to be THAT rough. i thought, hey -- she's alive, i can do this, i can be strong. but when i got there, the very first thing i saw was this adorable little yorkie puppy, and i looked at her big brown eyes and i cried so much. I broke down in the vet's office. i knew i wouldn't be able to see her gorgeous eyes anymore... so when it was time to bring sophie out, i still couldn't see her. it was too much for me to handle. so my mom went to the back to get her. we brought her blanket, and her squeaky bone. But she heard me crying and she had to get to me... i feel horrible for saying it, and i hope you all understand and don't take this the wrong way, but i still can't look at it. You have to understand, she just came out of surgery. She is stitched up and very swollen. I hold her, pet her and let her sleep on my lap, but i just can't look at her face... and for that, i feel like a horrible person...

| Oh my goodness, sweetie..I can't even imagine what you're going thru right now.! Just reading this made me cry. You're not a horrible person. I'm sure this day has been extremely overwhelming for you. Give it some time. Just give Sophie the comfort and love she needs right now and it will get better. You're a good momma. No reason to question that. *hug* I'm sure it's not easy, but try not to get too emotional around her..she needs you to be strong for her right now. |

| I am honestly in tears over your story Brittahnee. I can only imagine how you feel right now. But what thing that I'm sure of is that you are absolutely NOT a horrible person. You have been through a truly tragic experience and your reaction is one of shock, disbelief, and pain...not one of a bad mommy. Continue to shower sweet little Sophie with your love...I know things are hard for you...but just imagine what that poor little baby has endured today. I'm sure that will give you the strength to look past her wounds and see that the same beautiful baby that you saw before is still there...and she needs you more than ever. I will continue to keep you and Sophie in my prayers. And please keep us updated on Sophie's progress. ***HUGE HUGS***

| i miss her big, brown eyes so much. it's so hard. and she tries to lay down to sleep, but she can't find a comfortable position. my heart is breaking for her, because she looks at me, and wants me to help her...she knows that i'm her mommy and i'm supposed to make her feel better, i just can't! and i cannot stop crying over this. i am trying to be strong, but i can't...

| Honey I know you must be devastated! After you get over the shock, everything will be ok. She is still your baby! She loves you Unconditionally! You surely feel the same about her? My Dad lost an eye many years ago. It didn't make me love him less! I figured hey if I had a defect or something accidental happened to me that made me look different he wouldn't love me less! In time you will be able to look at her in the same way as you did before. She's still the same baby inside... So what her appearance is a lil different. I certainly will keep you and your baby in my prayers! Many Hugs and Prayers For You And Sophie |

| My heart aches for you. You are traumatized, and it will take time to get thru all the emotions of this horrible event. Don't be hard on yourself; this too shall pass. May the thoughts, prayers and hugs that are coming your way from all over bring comfort to you and Sophie.

| I am so sorry that they couldn't save little Sophie's eye! My heart breaks for you and Sophie and knowing the sadness you are feeling. I thought about how I would feel if one of mine lost an eye...I know I would feel just as you do now. As time goes on, you will feel better and Sophie will get used to being without her one eye. In the meantime, you both need a lot of TLC. I will be praying for you. God bless you and Sophie.

| I am so sorry. That is a very hard thing for you and Sophie. I am sure she knows your love her and she loves you too. No one thinks your a horrible person.....it takes time for each of us to deal with things and we do it in our own way. Take your time....things will be fine. Hope Sophie feels better. |

| Britt...Sophie loves you as much as she did this morning. If you can't look yet, that's ok, she doesn't care as long as she feels your love. Be kind to yourself. |
