Likes: Having her tummy lightly scratched, her back scratched, going to the beauty parlor for her bath, chasing balls and/or sticks in the backyard, and laying in the king sized bed with her humans. Pet-Peeves: Being made to move to a different spot in the bed, tickling the hairs between her paw pads Favorite Toy: Big stuffed teddy bear that Sophie even brings to bed with her each night. Also likes to play tuf-of-war with her big knotted rope toy. Favorite Food: Iams Rice & Lamb Favorite Walk: Around the block Best Tricks: Catching her treat mid-air; sitting and/or laying on command. Arrival Story: Our little girl asked for a puppy so she & I went to "just look" at them. There was a chocolate lab and a black lab still available and our daughter couldn't resist the adorable little black one. Sophie was just 7 weeks old when we brought her home. Bio: Sophie thinks she's a ferocious guard dog but in reality she's afraid of her own shadow. She barks at almost anything and when people come inside she automatically assumes that they want to be given massive amounts of puppy kisses. When chillin' with the family, Sophie likes to try and squeeze her way into sharing a recliner with our daughter (she doesn't realize she's too big!) She's not particularly fond of our two cats but she tolerates them reasonably well. Sophie is a GREAT family pet! We love her bunches. ~smile~ I've Been On Dogster Since:
