I've never heard her growl at anyone. She makes sure she has contact with everyone. It's strange to bring a dog into a situation like this and not have any disputes or problems; but Sophie is so good with everyone, how could you have a problem with her?
When I was home I more or less had a routine with my cat. Those are the things now that I have a routine of doing before coming down to the activity room to see Sophie.
That cat became quite a companion to me. She filled a void after my wife became ill and passed away about 10 years ago. Since then it was me and the cat; for me to leave her was hard. Sophie has filled that void that was left by my cat, who filled the void left by my wife.
Whenever you get that lonely feeling, you just head out looking for Sophie. She'll always let you scratch her ears or pet her; it takes care of the loneliness a person has in their heart.
