Wow there sure are a lot of Sophie Yorkie's!!! It must be a popular name.
I would like to take credit for naming my Sophie but she came with a name ( I added the Kate part). Actually I got her totally by accident, one of the girls who works for me bought her and had her for one week - her husband did not like the dog because it was doing it "business" in the house. Well when she showed me a picture of the dog I said "Oh how cute I will babysit anytime" little did I know two days later I would have a dog.
I was suppose to babysit for one week, which I did however the original owner failed to show up to to pick her up. I finally confronted her at work and said she either had to take the puppy and make an honest effort to be a good dog owner or I would find it a new home. She chose not to take her back.
Well two months later Sophie is mine, I intended to find her a good home but after about two weeks I knew she belonged here with me and my cat (cat is Avery, her best friend).
I get a lot of training advice from the posts on YorkieTalk. I also have a wonderful Vet who is very patient with me and tells me exactly what I should be doing for Sophie.
So far my first dog owning experience has been great, I would not trade her for the world she is a part of our family now.
Next step is in December I get her spayed and we will check to make sure all her teeth are coming in properly. I am a little freaked out about the teeth, she lost about 8 so far and she actually has spit three of them at me (she is not so girly girly). |
