 Well...
Wouldn't you know it, we just couldn't resist this cute girl. For a
very short time she was known as Vail (she had littermates Aspen,
Canyon, Sequoia, Bryce, and Chelly) and all were friendly rompers,
but when we saw her we knew we had to have her and give her the best
home! Sophie comes from the
Lost Dog and
Cat Rescue Foundation. She was a stray with her mother, and they
were all rescued. A black lab / hound mix, all black except a white
spot on her chest, she's sweet, very good with children and other
dogs. She has a distinct personality and loves to play with her
sister, Summer.
Sophie came home with us Saturday,
July 22nd, 2006. She was about 14½ weeks old, already
spayed (turns out she was only ½ spayed - had to be spayed again!), and weighed 14.6 pounds. Like many puppies, she had kennel
cough, which she overcame with medication. She's gotten excellent
reports on her checkups with the vet, and now even has her microchip
48125A5E39 and health insurance.
 She's
a good eater, and just learning language skills.
She lost her first tooth Tuesday,
August 15th, 2006 (picture of new teeth coming in on
the right - 9.4.2006).

You're
almost as good ...
- If
you can start the day without caffeine;
- If you can get along without pep pills;
- If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and
pains;
- If you can resist complaining and boring people with
your troubles;
- If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful
for it;
- If you can understand when your loved ones are too
busy to give you any time;
- If you can overlook it when something goes wrong
through no fault of yours and those you love take it
out on you;
- If you can take criticism and blame without
resentment;
- If you can ignore a friend's limited education and
never correct him;
- If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a
poor friend;
- If you can face the world without lies and deceit;
- If you can conquer tension without medical help;
- If you can relax without liquor;
- If you can sleep without the aid of drugs;
- If you can say honestly that deep in your heart you
have no prejudice against creed, color, religion,
politics, education, disability, or financial status;
Then, my friend,
you are almost as good as your dog!
