Farewell Sophie

Pregnancy hormones and saying goodbye to our first "baby" Sophie is not a good combination. That's right, today Kim and Robert came to visit and took Sophie with them to find her a good new home. We still have the puppies but they have been eating puppy food for a couple of weeks now and we will be able to sell them next week after they receive their first set of shots. So with the unknown of when Baby Seth is arriving we thought it would be better for Sophie to already be somewhere else so that we didn't have to worry about her whereabouts when we were bringing a baby home from the hospital.

We realized while Sophie and Zack were breeding how nice our house was with only Bella living here. Plus, Sophie is horrible with babies or children of any kind. We didn't want Sophie's craziness to taint Bella's perception of a new baby. So we made the decision as soon as Sophie was able to wean the puppies, we would find her a new home. It was a hard decision because we have had her for five and a half years. She was our first "baby." We loved her despite all her flaws. I know in a few short weeks, she will be only a memory, but right now it's hard.


Sophie, the day we got her.
