Chuck and I decided that since we weren't going to have any little ones, we would adopt! Introducing.......
Sophie!!
Sophie!!
Isn't she so darn cute!!We had been talking about getting a little doggy for awhile and had been tempted by some puppies at the mall this past weekend. Fortunatly, we came to our senses and didn't buy a ridiculously expensive (and probably a puppy-mill dog) mall dog but found Sophie at the Huntley 'no kill' shelter. She had only been there since Saturday. Her owner had to go into a nursing home and couldn't keep her anymore.
I love her! She's an older dog.....She's eleven, but is so sweet and very peppy. She slept next to me all night. I kept waking up to look at her and pet her. I'm totally smitten!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6D0GoZi2SqUiR2z1eB2tG33Cpj0q7_WHd19nLhikj3sepqRoUdClzdKNJG9-ofvVDhGinxe0J_CqmGlgvCUaD-X5563NBi86nRR79FeSEo2RyjPc1iYUw1aWeYhz0ikqE01Sk1kiS9Q/s320/Feb2010+014.jpg)

Oh, and Chuck loves her too! Bubba is not so sure yet. They're still getting to know each other. Lots of hissing and tail-fluffing (Bubba). Well, I'll probably be boring you with pics and cute stories the next couple weeks. I apologize ahead of time.

She's gorgeous. Congrats. And, thank you for getting an older dog with an owner who was reluctant to give her up. She's a lucky dog.
She's beautiful. Glad to hear this pretty lady has a forever home...
grrrrr.... I have a selection of 11-year-olds. I could've cleaned one up for you ;) Good for you guys for adopting an older dog.... she's really cute. And lucky too!
OMD!! (oh my dog!!) She's so flippin cute!!! Can't wait for Brodie & Wallace to meet their new cuz!!
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy.
Awww...she looks just like you - LOL!!

Sooo Cute!!!!! Now you will become a crazy dog owner like me. Good thing shes not a hunting dog. It was so kind of you to adopt an older dog. Have fun with her.
Congrats, Karen! Thank you so much for going green and getting a recycled dog. Pound puppies are the best! And you are right about the mall dogs- they are from puppy mills. Those trendy crossbreeds usually come from poorly bred "purebred" parents that can no longer be used to maintain a purebred line.
...thanks everyone.....btw...would love to know who my anonymous commenters are ;)
what a cutie! congrats! Love that quilt in the background too :)
So cute! So glad you went to a shelter too! :)
Oh Karen, I love her too, and I don't even know her yet! She's adorable and I'm so glad you adopted her. Think how lonesome she must have been.
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!?!?

Bore away! I love dogs and really miss my sweet little guy (lost him last March). Enjoy! She's adorable! What a face!
i hope that dog doesn't put you in a nursing home.
anonymous guess who?
Would've never pegged you as the type to get a dog Karen. But that Sophie sure does seem sweet....and the perfect match for you. Congrats momma!
Sophie is just so adorable. A great big bundle of love. Great that you took her into your home. She will give you a lot of joy, love, and happiness. It's never boring to see such a cute little girl like Sophie.
Pound pups seem to know and show more love than other dogs do! Blessings to you and Sophie... she is such a sweetie... I can see why you couldn't resist.
