Hello Sophie


April 10th we brought a ball of love into our home. Sophie is a light-medium colored golden retriever. We decided after losing our beloved Murphy and beloved Tigger that we needed the love of another dog to help us heal. Kelsey has really perked up since we got Sophie. She's continued to have problems with vestibular syndrome having 2 episodes since Tigger died. But she's going off of a longer course of steroids now and is doing okay. Alex was a bit miffed at first and is still jealous sometimes, but he seems to be coming around to her, too. At her recent visit to the vet for second shots, Dr. Vogl proclaimed that she had the perfect temperment. She's loving and calm and snuggly. She is wonderful. She loves to sleep in Mama's closet, but also loves sleeping with Jamie. She's teething and likes to nibble on Jamie and Renna, but they are learning to push her away and let her know that's not acceptable. She's a good girl.

What a sweetie!! She'll never replace your other furbabies, but indeed, those puppy kisses can help heal the hole in your heart...
