A spokeswoman for Oprah Winfrey confirmed Wednesday that the TV titan’s venerable cocker spaniel, Sophie — arguably first among equals of Oprah’s pet “children” -- had passed away on Monday.
Another source at Harpo added, “everyone here is really sad...Sophie was truly part of the Harpo family — as well as Oprah’s.”
The cause of death was not announced, but given Sophie was well into her teens (in human years), “old age,” was likely a major contributing factor. - Sun-Times columnist Bill Zwecker
Just wanted to let all dog and cat owners know of a new website I found several weeks ago. The site is called, http://www.frescopet.com . This site offers fragrant tags for your pet. I purchased several for my chocolate lab, Hershey. She has a pleasant coconut scent. Check out the site. ....;)
My heart goes out to Oprah and her family, the loss of a pet is just as hard as a loss of a child to most of us animal lovers.
