I’m not going to lie. This is the hardest thing I will ever write for the Pommy Mommy blog. Not only because it is emotionally crippling but also physically… it’s very difficult to write with a wet keyboard and blinded by tears. I’ve had to write 3 tributes in the past three months and I’m a little spent in all honesty but “Little” Sophia showed we undaunting toughness in her short life… and she would want me to press on.
That’s the real challenge… I’m not kidding… pressing on. A little 3lb ball of cuteness was literally my inspiration to start a company from nothing… but finding cute outfits for her to wear. The best selling product in my shop is a tiara that I bought for her to be in a little tea party photo shoot, I wanted to do with her. She has always been very cute and always had a smile on her face… she always seemed happy, so how could I not be happy. Most of you don’t know this but she was with me, “literally” every minute of everyday for the first 3 years she was with us. It was like she was attached to my hip… and if you consider the pink sling we had made for her… she actually sat on my hip.
If I wasn’t holding her on my lap, in my arms or in her high chair… she was most likely sleeping right next to me in her blow up swimming pool. My husband and I did everything we could to make “Little” Sophia’s life better. There was nothing I wouldn’t buy for her… and there was nothing my husband wouldn’t build, make or create to make her life easier. Over the past year… Sophia began having difficulty walking on our wood floors, so we bought rubberized runners for her… they worked but only for a while. My husband’s office is the only carpeted place in the house and she really liked walking on the carpet… so Sophia was now, doing what we affectionately called “rehab” in my husband’s office. She would spend hours up in his office walking around on the carpet with Luka and Niko. Our philosophy was, if she wants to do it we will figure out a way to get it done. Rocco would spend huge chunks of time playing with her, walking her in a harness he made from a Director’s chair canvas back and handles from two 5 gallon buckets. She was the center of attention and he worked his businesses around her… if he spent time with her during the day time he would work until 5 or 6 in the morning to make up the work… she kinda became Daddy’s little girl… kinda. I was a little jealous but loved that he loved her so much.
I can’t tell you how much she inspired us to be better… I would watch her be her “demanding” self, throwing little tantrums for attention and I would laugh but it always got me thinking. She knows what she wants and she knows how to get it. Very few of us ever do what we really want and almost never get it. Because of this tough little girl I am doing everything I ever wanted and loving every minute of life… and she was my little partner in crime. Wherever mommy was, there was the “Boss” as we used to call her. She sampled everything from treats to clothes, sometimes toys… she never played with them but loved posing with them. It was the strangest thing… when I got the camera out she was always ready with a smile or grumpy face. I felt she always new what we needed for the photo… she was a natural. I had to purchase two 1 Terrabyte external hard drives to store all of her photos… the rest of the pack haven’t even filled up 500 gigs. I loved taking pictures of her… and she loved me taking her picture.
The one thing that always got me, was whenever I was feeling like the world was crashing down on me… Sophia would pull out her bag of tricks, reach in and touch my heart. Whenever I thought I couldn’t take any more from the world… “Little” Sophia would break out into to her “baby dance”. She would throw herself on the floor and start shaking her paws… and the more I said “baby dance… baby dance” the more she would do it. How could you not fall madly in love with a personality that just wants you to be happy. I wish I could see her “Baby Dance” one more time.
When I had more than 10,000 photos of her, I decided it was time to give her a Facebook Fan Page… and in just a short while she built a following without much help from the Pommy Mommy Fan Page that boasts over 84 thousand. She hit 3000 likes a week before she passed… and she seemed so proud. It’s amazing how her photos, and stories inspired so many people. I have received hundreds of emails, Private Messages and calls from people who have said that their families would talk about her, watch her videos and children wouldn’t go to bed until they saw her daily posts. Talk about an impact… that 3lbs of red fur boasted a huge personality and deserved all the accolades she got.
I finally got to writing Sophia’s story just a couple of month’s ago after Luka passed. I kept wanting to write it but I couldn’t bring myself to re-hash all the tragedy and abuse she had endured. She was living the good life now and I just didn’t want to go there. I decided to put my big girl pants on and write it. I didn’t realize how many people really didn’t know Sophia’s story… the outpouring of love is unparraled to this day. Fans and friends like Roni Reilly, called her a hero… and told me that her life was very similar to theirs. I was very fortunate, I had probably the greatest childhood any woman would ever ask for… so I didn’t understand how a little PomChi could have the same life experiences as a human. Then again… she inspired me to build a business around her and her sisters… wow, immediate life lesson. The first blog post I ever wrote… was about her. (read it here) My blogging skills have come a long way.
My husband on the other hand had the crappiest of childhood’s and actually grew up around mobsters… the movie “Goodfellas” come to mind. So he totally understood, and since we didn’t have children yet, she was spoiled… absolutely rotten.
I’m not sure why God took her from us so soon, but her life, cuteness, boldness, grumpy personality and amazing smile will live with me forever. I am crying a deluge of tears right now over the sadness of her passing but in time I know her inspiration will help guide me and other Pommy Mommies in the right direction. Little Sophia I love you beyond words.

You and Rocco are so brave Tara. Sophia was truly a hero. I will miss seeing her face and cute puppy scoops vids for sure. But she will live in through you forever. God bless you both for giving that angel the amazing rest of her life.

Tara, I’m not really sure if you and Rocco truly understand the impact Sophia had on so many of us. You two have had an unbelievably difficult year, but I think the loss of Sophia touched us all in a special way. I,like you, was in tears all day yesterday every time I thought of her or saw another post about her. She truly was a hero, and you and Rocco are both heroes in my mind for doing the things you do for the Pommy community. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day, and I thank you for sharing so much with us! God Bless you both!
Bless you all. Rest in Peace, sweet little girl. <3

RIP little Sophia. You’ll be always in my heart :'(
RIP little Sophia. You’ll be always in my heart :'(
I don’t know of many things that give me as much happiness as a Pomeranian can. My little pup turned 12 on Sunday, and no matter what’s going on, or how worn out I am from a long day, when I get to go home and receive a greeting that I’d imagine getting if I was gone for weeks, and not hours, I can’t help but be in a good mood. Such a big personality and so much heart from such little dogs.
I know it’s a very difficult time for you right now, and I know from reading your stuff how much she meant to you. We are all the lucky ones because we know the big love of those little dogs. Our lives are better for what we have been given, and sharing these gifts is a wonderful way to return our good fortunes. With so much hardship in the world, every post and photo I see of pups like Sophie lifts my spirit and makes me happy.
Sincere condolences from someone who you’ve made smile time and time again.

You should probably put a warning at the beginning of the post that people will cry so probably best not to read it at work. I cried yesterday when I heard of her passing so I should have known better. You two are so awesome to have given her the life of love and perfection that she had until the very last second. She really was an inspiration and her legacy will live on as such. She will never be forgotten by so many. Thank you for sharing your stories! Hugs to you both!

You were blessed to have her. She was blessed to have you both. Thank you for sharing. I know you are hurting.

I too have been crying since I read about “Little” Sophia yesterday. I have never gotten as attached to a dog I have never really met as I did to her. My heart is breaking for you and me too. I felt as if she were mine. I know everyone else who read her adventures felt the same. I too have an abused baby, named Dante’ and when I read about Sophia, I always held him closer and tighter. I told him all about her adventures and read him her posts and showed him her pictures. I know, I probably sound like a crazy person but I feel he in some way understood that her life had been hard too. Losing her was like slapping me in the face with the fact that I will lose him too, someday. Please God, not for a long time. but we never really know do we? That’s why its so important to love them to pieces each day we have them. My heart and prayers go out to you. I don’t know how you are coping, especially having lost 3 babies in such a short time. They always say, God wont give you more than you can handle but right now He must think you are a super hero. I think he just wanted Sophia for himself, to hold love and cuddle. I am sure she is running, playing and taking charge. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful girl with all of us. You didn’t have to, but you did. Little Sophia drew us all together in love for her and that is what will make peace on Earth.
I feel your pain….the sadness at losing a beloved pet is at times unbearable…my beloved Golden Brody passed away 2 years ago and I am still heart-broken..Thank God I have my 9 year old Pomerainian Phoebe Jo to help me with the sadness…strength and peace be with you at this time & God Bless you & your husband <3
I love little Sophia. She and your family of fur babies are an inspiration. As I’ve said before- thank you for all that you do. You guys are wonderful people.
Awesome! Sophia was so very lucky to have found you and your husband. And maybe, luck had nothing to do with it. God created us all, including animals and he knew Sophia required a very special, loving atmosphere. Yes, she knew she was loved by you, but just look what hope, courage, joy, and unending love she gave to all of us.
I am so sorry, we understand what you are going through, our 15 year old Pomeranian passed away last week and I miss him so <3
RIP Little Sophia, please play with my Sunny at Rainbow Bridge <3
Tiny but mighty was she! Hugs!!!
This is just wonderful! Thank you xxxxxxxxxx
My two boys have been with me through my most difficult times they’ve got me through a divorce, anxiety, depression and a breakdown. My little boy Tiger had to have his hip joint removed at 5 moths old due to an abnormality! He looked so much like Sophia, he is also Tiny and very tenacious and he too always seems to pull a funny at just the right time! Many a time in depths of despair Tiger has just done something little that has made us all laugh!

How precious your story is and isn’t it wonderful that all 3 of you helped each other? Sophia was eternally grateful that you both rescued her from a pit of evil! She continued to show you that gratitude the rest of her little life. You and your husband also learned life lessons ,to never give up from a little Champ! Wonderful lessons. Live, learn and love!

My heart breaks for you. She brought such joy to so many. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. ❤
Tara, we are so sad for you and Rocco. Sophia posts were big in our house, too. My daughter called the other day, I told her Little Sophia had passed away. I thought I had lost the phone connection, then I realized she was crying. She came into your life and have you inspiration to create a company that is sweet and fun for many Pommy Mommies. I am sure she is not finished inspiring you yet. Take time to grieve, and when you least expect it, she will come to you with a most exceptional idea. God bless you for your sweet heart that you share with Pomeranians.
I just want to say a HUGE Thank-you for sharing you Little Sophia with all of us!! She was by far an inspiration as I go thru my journey in life with my 2 poms by my side. I have been a VERY BIG fan and looked forward to the posts! Now she is with her sisters and brothers, She has traded in her Princess tiara for a Halo, and last but not least….To her Family…Thank you for everything you have done to make that lil girl’s last years her very best years, she truly was a fighter and a hero!!! <3
Another great tribute-as long as you type, we will read 🙂
Here’s my thought as I see guys posts:
Real men love Pom’s!
<3 I have one just like Sophia! They look a lot alike also. I am so sorry you lost her…<3
You and your husband gave Little Sophia the best time of her life. You both healed her and in turn she help you both. The world needs more of unconditional love that you all gave to each other.
I am so sorry for your loss. She was truly am amazing little personality and inspiration to many. Thoughts are with you and Rocco!
Xoxo

Thank you so much for your story, I enjoyed every post and every picture you shared of Sophia! I am truly heartbroken to hear of her passing, and my eyes are full of tears while I read your blog. May God Bless you and your family. With much sympathy.

I believe not only sweet Sophia was and is a hero but you and your husband fit that category. I believe that no one could have or could do any more tender, loving and wise things than you two have. God bless you richly is my prayer. Rest, heal, relax, then go on. My prayers are with you.

I am so very sorry for your loss 🙁
Little Sophia caught my attention and drew me to Pommy Mommy. Her story inspired me to search for a rescue Pom when I finally decided to be a Pommy Mommy again 5 years after my first Pom furbaby passed away. I luckily ran across Winnie the Pom not long after. She had so many problems from her abusive 1 1/2 year old life, it was heart breaking. I sent an email to you, and much to my delight, received a phone call with all the help I needed. I do appreciate you and Rocco so much for that, and I owe it all to Little Sophia. Winnie is doing great, by the way. Thank you! Peace be with you. Keep doing what you are doing.
I can feel your pain in every word. So sorry for your loss. I pray you will find comfort and mercy soon. She was a beauty and a joy to see on your page.
You and Rocco are such caring people I love how much love you give to your fur babies. I can relate so well with you guys. Take care & I’m thinking about you guys. I know you will rescue more pommies and give them a loving home and life

Your pain is our pain. Honestly, the passing of all of your pommy babies has brought back the familiar sting in my heart of when my Lisa took her walk over the Rainbow Bridge. And now that “Little” Sophia has gone, my heart aches and cries for you and your husband. You and the love you have for your babies has brought me so much joy since I found your page earlier this year. But the loss you have experienced is unreal. I hope you find comfort in your thousands upon thousands of pictures of “Little” Sophia. Even after two years, I still find it hard to look at pictures of my Lisa without crying. I can’t look at her urn that rests on the bottom shelf of the curio in the cabinet without missing that huge ball of fluff so much it hurts. The loss of Sophia hurts a little more than the others for me, simply because she looks like a smaller version of my throwback pom. She was a red, foxy fluffy love bug. Know that our hearts are with you. You gave her such a fantastic life, she obviously loved you with everything her little heart had.

I’m so sorry for this tremendous loss, and my heart goes out to you two. My little Pom, Maxi is eleven and ailing with an enlarged heart for some time now. I thought she would be gone long before my Mother and stepdad, who both passed in the last year, and about killed me with grief. I cherish every day we have together, and Maxi has seen me through these sad events. nothing like a precious Pom to always make you Smile, no matter what the circumstance! Hugs and peace to you guys…what a loving, beautiful tribute.

Hugs and peace to you guys…what a loving, beautiful tribute.
Very inspiring story, I followed all the pics of “Little Sophia” also. She defintely was a strong little girl. I left you a message yesterday about my pom, he is 19 years old, and I hope he’ll be around for a lot more time. I defintely will hold him in my arms as you did Sophia, I’m not ready for the inevitable, as are any of us. I will cherish all the time I did get to spend with him. Chin up and God Bless you and your husband for making her short life with you so happy.
I just have an empty pit in my belly…can hardly imagine how u feel. But feel like my life has been so enriched by her story and loving my poms so much. Thank u for sharing her with us. God bless her and u!!!
Im going to miss you sophia RIP baby girl!!
My husband and I will miss little Sophia although I believe her spirit will live in our heart’s always. Yesterday was the first anniversary of the passing of our first furbaby that we only had the privilag of knowing and loving a couple of day’s. We will always remember Sophia with our Misha xx

God Bless you and your husband for giving her a wonderful life full of love. I am still broken hearted to hear of this but I know that she is in God’s arms waiting for you and all that love her.
Love reading about little Sophia & will miss all the precious pics. Sorry for your loss & hope u find peace.
I am certain little Sophia would very much want you to go on and to continue to mommy other pommies. The best thing in her life was being adopted by you. I am sure she’d want to pass that amazing gift along to other pommies who are in need. My sweet Pommy boy was a rescue too, and also abused. How anyone could hurt such a tiny and loving ball of fur is beyond me to comprehend. He does a similar dance to the one Sophia did. He can be charmingly manipulative. I mean that in the best possible way. He wants to seduce you into giving him what he wants. And I must admit I encourage him in doing so. He puts on these elaborate displays of rolling on his back and squirming about waving his legs in the air when he first wakes up and before he asks to go potty. You know the request/demand to go potty will be forthcoming but the dance is so cute that you don’t mind. Having a pom is a wacky and wonderful adventure. They are such big personalities in such small packages. In time the loss of Sophia will not be so crushing, and the joy of having her in your life will be the thing you think about most.
Sophia was with you…she encouraged you to write this. She’s always with you; you saved her, loved her, gave her a great life & for that she will never leave you. you may not see her, but she is there– hearing, seeing & running without trouble
You have so much love in your heart, any dog that got to live with you had the best in life. I love Pomeranians and lost my Foxie a beautiful white Pom, that I rescued from the Broward Country animal control. Foxie and Sophia are probably playing in heaven right now, comparing mommy stories and how they were rescued and loved by their Pommy Mommies.
We have lost two Poms in the past few years. We live full time in an RV now and the girls travel with us. They have a special place in the bedroom where their little boxes sit and next to them we light a battery candle every night . The husband talks to them every night before bed. I talk to them in the morning as I am putting on my make up. Life is tuff without them and we miss them terribly so I can feel your pain. God has another angel
Lots of love to you and your family. I am so sorry! Thank you for sharing her story.

I know the sadness in your heart. It amazes me, still today, how 5 pounds of fur could so change my life. I opened a Grooming business, for 10 years. Jeremiah was my whole life. YOU GUYS gave Sophia such a wonderful life. God smiles on people like you, for caring for and loving one of His own. God bless you always. And you will see little Sophia again. I promise you, she waits for you in Heaven.
All i can say is thank god for you and your husband. What fantastic people you are. How can some evil person do this to Sophia. What a coward, abusing any animal. What a beautiful princess she was and it was fantastic that the last years of her life she got treated like the princess she was. I have 2 poms myself and i have nothing but absolute love for them. Think of all the beautiful memories you have with her xoxoxox
I lost my poodle terrier Mr. Bill after 17 years. I have know children and know the loss of a fur baby is traumatic,even more so for you. You have been the best mommy and you are right your baby(babies) would want you to go on..Prayers to you from me.
She had such a sweet angelic face, and she always put a smile on my fiace. She must have had very loving, warm and comforting family
((Hugs))
I’m so sorry for your loss. I too lost my heeler /blu dawg Oct 4th…she was over 15yrs & I raised her from a pup. I know I cried for wks. I am better & I hope in time you will be too. We are so blessed to gave the gift of being loved by such sweet dogs, & returning that love. ..some never experience that. Prayers for you….Blu dawg loved little dogs & I’m sure she’s cleaning Sophia ‘ s face!
That sound you just heard, was my heart breaking. Wish I could hug you in person.
I finally got to read through this, tissues at hand. My heart breaks for you both. My heart dog passed away two years ago and I miss him every day. I adore the 3 Pommies that I have, but they are not Finn. I pray for your hearts to heal so the loss doesn’t hurt quite so much, but at the same time I know that will take a long time. Sophia was so precious, and she will always be precious. I see from reading this that she brought you the same joy my Finnley brought to me. God bless you both for bringing her into your life and loving her with your whole hearts. I’d say more, but the tears are coming again. Love to you both. <3
My heart goes out to you both. I have tears in my eyes, reading her story and knowing you must be hurting. I pray you find peace in knowing that precious baby had many wonderful days thanks to you.
So sad & how great she had you for the few years that she had left. Pomeranians are very special little dogs for sure and fill your life with so much joy. Independent yet commical and oh so loving. I lost 2 of mine within a three year span but now have acquired 2 others. Once a Pomeranian Mommy, always a Pomeranian Mommy. Sophia was a little doll and thank you for sharing.
