And Sophie Makes 8

Our family has grown by 4 paws:)

Welcome to the family Sophie!!

"Saphina" was our foster dog. We had her for a few days before knowing she was the perfect addition to our family. The kids loved her, we loved her and she needed a forever home. We truly only intended on fostering her until she was adopted but... look at that face!

The kids renamed her Sophie and we love that name.

It took a while for Marley to get used to her. At first he went into hiding. That lasted a few days. Then he would walk away from her and hide his face in between our legs if she approached him. That lasted a few days. Then they started sniffing each other, walking around each other and eventually sleeping on the same blanket with each other. NOW...several weeks later they are playing together.

We are happy for Marley. Truly happy for him. He was lonely and really needed a friend. I'm so glad we were able to give him that before moving out to the new house. Now, instead of laying around our new big yard he will be able to run and play with another dog!

Her finalized adoption took place on my birthday. It couldn't have happened on a better day. 

 

We are so excited about loving her and providing her a forever home :)
