sophie update, you all...

An update on the infamous Sophiedog...


sophiesohappy.jpg

Hey there. I just thought you might like an update on your former student. She has really grown into her own. She roams the house freely without incident. (Well, maybe the occasional chewing incident, but it is rare). She is getting to be a pro at heeling on a leash. She still gets excited when she sees new people, but she is getting better. Still wanting to jump sometimes as well, but we are working on it. We took her on a week long trip to RI, VT and Maine, and she was perfect. Did fine in the car, hotels, on the ferry, with other dogs, etc.

And, to make sure that her dad and I were not entirely worry free, she sat on a pile of fire ants and had to have her butt shaved and treated. Typical.

Amy & Sophie

Hi Amy,

I saw Sophie's picture and was struck at how similar she looks to my dog Maddie. I'm just curious as to where you got her. I got my dog at North Shore Animal league on long island.

Hi Becky,

We got Sophie from the North Shore as well. She came home with us on July 7th, 2004, and she was about 12 weeks at that time. Does she have a long lost littermate???

That's amazing! What a small world. I got Maddie in November when she was 5 1/2 months. They have to be sisters! Where do you live? You can email me at beckyemhs@aol.com if you feel more comfortable.

Hello Becky,

Not sure if you got my e-mail....let me know. I live in Garden City, LI. Forgive me for getting Maddie's name wrong in my e-mail.
