A Puppy Smarter Than The Rand Paul “Stomper”
The Rand Paul “stomper” is demanding an apology from the “stompee.” Apparently he stomped on her head only because she didn’t stay down like he told her to. Can you say redneck? Of course this is Kentucky-the land that brought us Senator Jim Bunning is about to give us Rand Paul. Amazing.
Actually, rather than talk about the morass that Campaign 2010 has become, I prefer to talk about my grand-puppy Sophie. Sophie was born four years ago today at Cedarwinds Kennel near Crofton, Nebraska. Google it and click on “silky terriers” to see some of the cutest puppies around.
My daughter had been pestering us for years to get a dog, and after my son and daughter in-law got Kahlua, another silky terrier and a diva to the utmost, we could no longer come up with good enough reasons to tell Amanda no. Amanda and I drove the 100 or so miles to the kennel and brought Sophie home on December 23, 2006.
It seems like she has been around forever, though part of me thinks it seems like just yesterday we held this tiny puppy for the first time. Sophie makes quite a living off of being cute, and her soulful eyes have captured our hearts. Basically the house is now Sophie’s and she is gracious enough to let us remain living there.
Sophie loves to run and play, and includes “belly rub” among the words she definitely understands. She loves her mom, her Uncle Matt, and her cousin Kahlua, and most morning chills with grandma before grandma leaves for work. She tolerates grandpa, though less so since I quit feeding her table scraps. Most of us she loves doggie daycare, and loudly announces her presence when she arrives: “Bark, bark, yap. Sophie is here, let the party begin.”
Apparently Sophie is getting a new bed and some treats for her birthday. Gee, that is better than I got for my birthday in September. Well, she is a lot nicer.
Happy Birthday Sophie. And thank you for stopping by.
You already have a decent bed. But maybe we’ll get you some AKC chicken and sweet potato treats for Christmas.
