beach princess

I started life as "Casey" in a family of children. After my family decided they were no longer able to care for me, I was sent to the SPCA but quickly went to a BROOD foster home. One month later, I found my lifetime companion. 

My new mom had recently lost her 15 year old Basset and couldn't be happier when I came home with her. She renamed me "Sophie". Mom and I had to learn all about each other - she found out I like to run (and therefore I got an acre fenced in just for my pleasure!) and I learned she likes me to sleep in the bed with her but prefers it if I don't jump on her stomach. 

We both learned how much fun it is to travel and meet new people and animals - we've gone to the beach, camping, road trips, to visit the grandparents, etc. - and everywhere we go, people learn my name. We have even had neighbors at the beach ask if they could take me for a walk! 

I especially love children (mom's a little miffed because her niece learned to say "Sophie" before mom's name !). My mom takes me to work with her sometimes, too, where I act as a therapy dog for her clients with mental retardation. 

My favorite non-human companion is my cat buddy Max who follows me everywhere I go. Life is great- especially the cuddle time my mom and I share each day. I can't imagine a better time than snuggling on the sofa with mom and the two cats. 

Thanks, BROOD, for bringing me home!
