Likes: Swimming, Running through mud, putting her paw on a human Pet-Peeves: Not getting enough attention (meaning CONSTANTLY) Favorite Toy: Anything that Zircon is playing with at the moment Favorite Food: Greenies, dead grass, cat food Favorite Walk: Through mud, near the lake, anywhere in the woods, but the beach is cool, too! Best Tricks: Snuggling up next to you and giving you "THE PAW" Arrival Story: Sophia spent the first 18 mos of her life in a breeding kennel in NC. After she was no longer useful for this purpose her owner had the decency to turn her over to a rescue where we adopted her from. She had a ride up the East Coast in a rent-a-truck in August that was probably not very restful and we took her home. She seems to be enjoying having her own humans and a doggy buddy. Bio: It can be scary the first time you hear her GROWL, but this is how she is saying she is happy. When she is really, REALLY happy she starts with a deep growl that crescendos into a loud "WOO WOO WOO". I would hate to hear the noise she would make when she is angry!
