She is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are her life, her love, her leader. She will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of her heart. You owe it to her to be worthy of such devotion.

Socializing Sophie





Sophie has settled in nicely so I decided its time to start taking her out to different places to get her socialized. On Tuesday, I took her for her first walk around the neighborhood. She did really well! She walked beautifully on the leash and even stopped when I stopped and patiently waited for me to continue. She seemed to enjoy being able to explore again and smell different things. It was definitely a success. On Wednesday I took her to petsmart and she was a little unsure of things with so much going on, but still did really well. She kind of just walked with her head down a little but was still interested in all the new smells...especially in the treat aisle :) She greeted all the doggies very nicely and let people pet her as well. Everyone commented on how beautiful of a dog she is. I also talked to a pet food specialist because Sophie isn't eating as much as I'd like her to. You can tell she's gained weight, but she still doesn't finish her meals and I really think she should have gained more by now. So now I have her on Bil-Jac. It's also supposed to improve her coat and eyes as well. The first time I offered it to her, she ate a little bit of it but not much. Then I offered it to Zoey, and Sophie seemed a lot more interested lol. After Zoey took a few bites, I gave it back to Sophie and she finished it ha ha :) Don't forget to take a look at the donation site every now again...I just added most of the cash donations to the site as well so we are much closer to our goal! Thanks again for the support. We love you guys :)
