A Boxer?

Today we took Sophie to the vet.  She is 13 weeks old and weighs 20 lbs already!  She is going to be big.  All checked out great!  The vet thinks she is mix Lab and boxer.  We had guessed lab, but was being told maybe some German Shepherd in her.  But he doesn't see the German Shepherd.  So I came home and research Lab and Boxers....who some call Boxadors.  Cute and funny!  From what I have seen and read this is a amazing family dog and most people were very happy with theirs!  Since we also do foster care I wanted to make sure we have a good dog to handle kids that may come in and out.  And it seems we may be gotten her! She plays well with all of them!  For as much as I resisted getting a dog, glad we have Sophie!

Just one of the kids!

Did I mention we got a puppy?

Did I mention we added a puppy named Sophie to our already busy household?  Well we did!  And better I working with my sister and brother-in-law I kept it a secret for about 5 weeks!  On Christmas each one of them opened a "puppy" gift and then we told them the puppy was staying!  And now I have a fifth child! Well kinda!:)
The kids do very well with her, and are learning about responsibility of caring for a puppy.  It is not always on their to do list, but we are working on this.  Robby is researching how to train a puppy.  She is create trained which we needed cause our house is too big to let her roam freely.  She is learning how to walk on a lease and how to stay by us when not on a lease.
Her favorite thing is to chew...and her favorite toy is this crunchy bottle giraffe.
