Sophie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sophie
Age: One year old
Gender: Female Breed: Boston Terrier
Home: Placerville, California, USA
 
   Hi! My name is Sophie and I am only one year old. I am a very pretty little Boston Terrier girl and I live with my mommy wwwaaayyyyy out in the country! She says we live in Placerville, California, USA. Where ever that is!! I came from a puppymill in Kansas and I have had to have major surgery on my leg to put in pins. The pins secure my kneecap so it won't slip out of socket. My mom says I have to have my other leg operated on soon too. Yuck! I hate staying all night at the vets (even though they love me). I miss my mommy but she lets me take my yellow blankie with me so I'm not toooo scared (I'm a big girl, after all!).

    I love to play with balls, frisbee's, balls, de-stuffed stuffed animals (I de-stuff them all by myself!!), balls, chewy bones, balls, and ummmm...balls! I also love to chase kitties. There are so many of them running around wild on my Grandma's ranch. It's my job to help chase them so my mom can trap them and get them spayed. Not sure why she always yells "no" at me when I'm just doing my job!! Oh well - maybe she just doesn't realize how much I'm helping. I know I am very spoiled (although people tell me there is no such thing as a spoiled Boston Terrier). My grandma plays ball with me for hours until her arm falls off (or so she says!) my Uncle Bill sleeps with me all day (he goes to work at night) and my mom always brings home treats for me from her work. One of my other favorite things to do is to go through the grocery bags mom brings home to find those treats!! Oh yeah, I really, really like to give kisses (especially if people aren't looking and I can get my tongue in their ear or in their mouth - fun!) and I know all the names of my toys ... Baby Trevor, Ball, Skunk, Ball, Froggie, Ball, Ellie Phant, Ball, etc. I just know I'm a super model in the making (PS - I'm also very talented!).

    Lots and Lots and Lots and Lots of wet, sloppy kisses,

      Sophie
