She brings so much joy to our lives. Thank you and all the volunteers that are part of you rescue organization.

August 6, 2006
We have renamed her Sophie. She is now recognizing her name. She is now also 27 pounds.

Sophie and her two new brothers, Rocco and Baron are getting along well. We had a little concern with Rocco accepting her but it only took a few days for Sophie to work her way into his heart. He now plays with Sophie, and she often snuggles next to him for naps.

We have started clicker training with Sophie. She is working on learning how to sit. Her potty training is coming along well. She has only had a few accidents.

Having Sophie in our lives is such a joy. She is very affectionate and loving. She loves playing with her brothers and splashing in their water bowl. My wife and I want to thank you for saving Sophie's life. We truly are blessed to have her.
