i can't believe I haven't been around since December. How embarrassing!
well i thought i would catch everyone up on my little Sophie, because, if you remember, she went through a very traumatic time. After she was involved in a fight, she had to have her eye removed. It used to bother me, but she's still my gorgeous baby girl. The hair has finally grown over, and it's really hard to tell that she only has one eye!! most of the time, i comb her hair over to cover her "bad side" as we refer to it. It doesn't bother her at all. I'm still worried about what other people think about her when i take her out, or if the children will be frightened, but most people never even realize her little flaw. As i type this, she is laying on my lap, her head resting on her green, squeaky bone. I never would have thought I could love a little dog SO much.
Even though she has one eye, and outgrew her estimated weight (my girl comes in at a plump 10 pounds!) she is my pride and joy.
(And she'll be getting a pirate costume for halloween -- complete with an eye patch!!)
