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 :)

Get Ready to laugh :)

I wanted to share a funny store with everyone about Sophie. Usually when I am not home Sophie is outside because she prefers to be out there and when I am home she comes in. Well the other day my roommate was letting Zoey inside before he left for work and Sophie snuck in as well. Sophie went straight to my room and laid down and my roommate didnt have enough time to let her back outside. He called me and let me know and so I had him just close my room door because I haven't tested her alone in this house yet. I assumed she would just relax and take a nap. And I was right...look at the pics to see where I found her :) My sister got home a few minutes before I did and when I got there I noticed my room door was open, I took a peek inside and didnt see Sophie so I asked if she had let her out already. Her response was for me to look again. Sophie had squeezed herself underneath a very small end table that I have in the corner. There was plenty of stuff on top of glass table and below on the shelf as well. Sophie managed to move all of it out of the way so she could sleep there! She looked so comfortable too! When I called her name, she just looked at me like "Oh hi, don't mind me, I'm just napping" Needless to say, it was quite difficult to get her out from under there lol! One thing I can say is that Sophie brings a smile to my face every single day, one way or the other! Enjoy :)
