Hello, I just got my little girl one month ago today!

11 years ago we got Charley for my grandma, he was the cutest thing and I fell in love. She got really sick and couldn't take care of him and my fathers aunt has him now and he is her baby.

I have always had big dog all my life and the hubby was against small "ankle bitters" this year for my birthday he said we are going on a 2 and a half our drive to get your baby..... I tell you what I have never been as much of a dog person as I am now, she is my fourth daughter, just a little more hair than the other three!

Her name is Sophie and she was born on August 22nd this year. Vet two weeks ago said she was 2 and 1/2 pounds, but the printout said 2.06 so she is somewhere in there. I have a question if you guys know when her true color will be there. Her mom is a parti and dad looks like the others. She is black and tan but is starting to get silver at the roots on her head. Is there any chance she will turn light like mom or should she stay like this? Also, I leave food all day and night since I am scared of her not getting enough, but should I limit the amount or just let her eat whenever?

Thanks and I hope to hear from some of you.
