I had a dog as a child, however for almost 40 years I have been a cat person. We decided to adopt a dog in '09. Initially I thought we made a major mistake. It did not take me long to realize dogs are so much different than cats. Those first several months Sophie was like velcro; so very needy and so much work. I was so accustomed to cats and their independent nature. When both my cats passed away in '10 I was devastated, however having Sophie helped. Sophie was fun to have around, but it took me almost a year to fall in love with her and now I love her so much. She brings so much joy to our lives.
I love our daily walks, our trips to Starbucks, our naps, chasing her around the house, her kisses and simply looking in her big brown eyes. Indeed, Sophie is our special dog.
