Sophie

Sophie is a family dog. Joint custody between my parents & I. She's about 6 years old, and we adopted her from the humane society when she was 4. I believe she was abused by her previous owners and she was quite shy and anti-people when she came to live with my parents. Two years later she is a much happier (if still neurotic) puppy. I get her on weekends because I now have my own home and can have animals if I want!

It just amazes me what joy animals bring to our lives. My parents took her camping for the first time this week and I missed her more than I thought I would seeing as I normally do not see her during the week. She had a pretty rough time because of all the different noises and something outside of her routine, but they survived and she's now sleeping on my living room floor. :-) It's so peaceful to have her here. As crazy as that sounds.
