Sophie

Well, it's late and I've already posted to the blog today, but I wanted to upload a photo of the sweet little puppy that Kathy dropped off at my house today. She was fostered up in Everett, WA, but had to come south to the Tacoma area to be spayed. Since the family who is adopting her is down near Tacoma, I am going to puppy sit her until the paperwork is finished and she's ready to go to her forever home.

I believe that Sophie was at the same shelter as our fosters Mango and Pepper(Nutmeg). They all came from Indiana, along with Ajax, who was fostered in Seattle. Sophie is the last to go home because she had to be held until she was old enough to be spayed.

Isn't her coat wild! It looks as if it's in between a brindle and a dalmation. I've never seen anything like it before. To see a few more pics, link to my Flickr photos of her. She is pure sweetness! We had a few time where she snapped at our dog, Frodo, but she was quick to change her attitude with a quick squirt of the spray bottle. She was fine with him when they were loose in the yard. The only time she was snippy was when he tried to move in on her food, and when she was getting loved on and he came up to get in on the petting.

Anyhow, we'll get to love this little 15 week old baby for just a couple days and then she will join her new family. Since Washington has 5 new dogs flying in tomorrow, we will get our two new fosters as soon as Sophie goes home - anywhere from Saturday to Monday. One will be a five year old female tri-colored rat terrier who was dumped with 4 other dogs - likely a breeder dog - and the other will be a tri-color rat terrier-chihuahua puppy with HUGE ears who we want to name "Radar."
