Little Miss Sophie

So, I am thinking that my business needs to start including pet sitting in it because I am now up to 4 birds and FIVE dogs. I swear, this would only happen to ME! Yes, Scott and Josh are out of town this week so I am not only hanging and watching our four dogs, I ended up bringing a puppy home last night! I know...what am I thinking??!!! Well, the only thing I could think of was that I could not stand the thought of this puppy being on its own in the dark last night. I know she doesnt look like a puppy but she is...she looks as though she is less than 6 months. She is still in that cute awkward phase, not fully fitted into her big paws yet! (She is going to be a big girl!) I was on my way home last night and saw her and when I stopped and got out, she jumped into my jeep! She was dragging a homemade, shoestring kind of leash on her but did not have a tag on her so it appears that she was tied up somewhere and got loose. I have no idea who the owners would be and none of my neighbors seemed to know who she belonged to. So, she is now staying at the Tayloe/Holder/Martin Household of Animals Hotel for the time being. I did contact Animal Control but they ended up coming when I was not home (go figure) however, I would rather find a good home for her than have Animal Control take her and do whatever it is they do with them (which I hate to even think of the possibilities). Anyway, Maverick made it very known that he wants nothing to do with a puppy around, but Sebastian has not been hard to convince...he is in LOVE! They are around the same size (at least for now!) and have been playing non-stop. I know I probably should not have (it increases attachment) but I did name her Sophie. There are just too many dogs around here, I had to give her a name so I knew who was calling to! And with all the boys around here, it is fun to have a little girl here! I am not sure what kind of dog she is (I dont know my dog breeds too well)...she seems to be a mix like Grahamy though...maybe some German Shephard? Some Lab? Some Doberman Pincher? Some Rottweiler? Yep, who knows, she is just like my sweet Grahamy...anyone's best guess.

Anyway, the night is winding down...the birds are still in their cages, the dogs are playing around the house, I am trying to maintain my sanity (along with trying not to get to attached to Sophie) and Scott and Josh should be home from Vegas tomorrow. It has been quite a week!
