I never envisioned being part of a two-dog family, and yet here I am fully immersed in puppy-hood. I blame the boys. I caved, succumbed to their relentless pressure, and of course our new edition’s soulful eyes didn’t help. So here’s the story, we have a wonderful dog, Sophie, who is going on nine but still acts like puppy. We adopted her long before we entertained thoughts of Luke. The problem is that she’s never fully embraced Luke. Don’t get me wrong, she barks louder now when the mailman is at the door, and she let’s Luke climb all over her body. But at her core she is Gordy’s dog.
Luke wants, “a pup to snuggle with” and we’ve tried everything short of smearing his sheets with peanut butter to get Sophie to sleep with him. The solution? His own dog. Meet Dot–a Bernese Mountain Dog and Airedale Terrier mix. Last night she slept on his head for the entire night.
