I'm just a sucker for a pretty face.

Meet Sophia Lucia.
Soon to be groomed...but came to us, stinky, blind, somewhat deaf, hairy, and cute as a button.
We're doing what we can with all this information. She's been bathed, scissor cut (until she can afford a professional, she's stuck with "Hair by Liz".), and attempts at potty training, which apparantly isn't done when dogs are USED for breeding purposes...poor little thing. She's following me everywhere....bumping into the other dogs....but gradually learning her way around the house. Now, if she would only learn to go outside to take care of business....
So....can't show favoritism, or the other pups get jealous, so here's her new brother, Luigi...who's only half blind, and doesn't quite love Sophia yet, but has been tolerant. Luigi's been in our family for several years now....


...and here's her "cousin" Mina....who she has yet to meet, but I just happened to have this picture of her.


Someday, she'll get to meet her other "cousin", Charlie, who's pictured here:
(My nephew took this, while teaching me to use my cell phone camera).


Here's a picture of Luigi, being "tolerant":


And, finally, here's Sophia's new big sister, Bailey, who's been a very good big sister to the new girl.

Presently, the three doggies at my house are all sleeping. This is good. The snoring's a bit much.

Oh she's SO CUTE!
Charlie is such a sweetie. I like that photo of his nostrils.

The picture of Charlie is a trip. Bailey may well be one of the prettiest doggies I have ever seen. It's wonderful that you've made a safe and happy home for Miss Sophia. Give her a scratch for me.

It's so strange, because I dreamt of blind dogs but I did't know any. They are cute and please to hear they are getting along :o)

What darling darling dogs! My daughter keeps begging us for a dog. One day perhaps, so much work though.
