Sophie

We have now added to our family circus a dog. This is Sophie and no we didn't name her, but I love the name so it works out great. Plus if we name our worst child Sophie we can always tell her we named her after the dog. And there starts the life long complex which every child should have. (In case you don't understand any of this, I'm joking and would never name a kid after the dog... maybe) So we adopted her from the shelter and we have decided that she looks like a black lab most but must have a little great dane in her. I am inclined to think she has a bit of hound too. Every time we take her out she sticks her nose to the ground and is sniffing out every animal, pile of leaves, and pile of random snow in the area. Pretty great dog.

Also I forgot to mention what a chicken she is. She is now officially scared of the broom, the shovel, the vacuum, the camera, the guitar, and possibly many other things. So when I take the camera out to take a picture of her she gets all cowardly and hides behind Steve. That's pretty much all the important stuff about Sophie. She takes a while to warm up to new people, but we found that anyone carrying food is instantly in the Sophie's friend club.
