4 Weeks

It's been 4 weeks since we brought Sophie into our home! It's incredible to look back at pictures and see how much she's grown since then. According to our scale at home (which may not be completely accurate) she weighed 15.5 pounds at 9 weeks, and she now weighs 24 pounds! She only occasionally has an accident in the house (in the kitchen, on our old ugly floors, in her "room" until she's housebroken), and usually the accidents happen when we aren't paying attention to her signals that she needs to go. Sophie's met more than 30 friends/family of ours, along with numerous adults and children during our trips to PetSmart and on walks around town... and she loves everybody that she meets. She's learned to enjoy riding in the car/truck. She's met/played with the dogs of 3 of our friends. She can be a bit rambunctious with other dogs, but she plays nicely. We've worked with her almost every day on training, and she knows a few commands. Here's a video of David training her this past Sunday:



If this is how far she's come in the first 4 weeks, it's exciting to think what she can learn in the next month!
