Sophie and Paul


This is Sophie's dad. In keeping with the chair that she thinks is hers, look where she is. She hates it when Paul sits there and she pounces on him.


Sophie was a good addition to our family.


I have never had a dog from birth on and it has been a treat. Sophie came home with us in late August, the day after her mother went home with her human. She left behind her siblings (there were nine of them) and I held her all the way home (about 70 miles). She cried and cried and just as we crossed the Maine border, she glanced up at me and a look came over her that seemed to say, "I guess you're my pack now." That was all it took. Sophie was crate trained but cried that first night as all puppies do. She has been fantastic since then. House training was a breeze; the only mistakes she had was when her humans failed to interpret her signals. I guess it could be said that she trained her humans well. I miss her....
