We have gone to the dogs...

As if one puppy in our house wasn't enough, we decided that Cooper needed a friend to keep him company during the day when we were gone. We adopted Sophie into our lives on October 25, 2010. She is also a mini doxie, chocolate and tan coloring. She was born on July 6th in Bowling Green, KY. Here are some pictures of her from before we got her.

It is definitely an adventure around our house now. Sophie is still potty-training and her learning curve is much slower than Cooper's. She is a very stubborn little girl, but she is so pretty that it's really hard to get mad at her. Cooper loves her so much, and just like any little boy, he shows his affection by constantly pestering her. He growls, barks, bites her legs (lovingly of course), and steals her toys to get her attention. She, like a typical little girl, ignores him until she can take it no longer and then snaps. They are really fun to watch and its become one of our favorite forms of entertainment.

Halloween this year was especially fun because our whole family dressed up, including the dogs. We were Alabama Tailgaters this year. Cooper was the football player, and Sophie was the mascot, Bama.

Happy Halloween from Cooper

I decided that since the weather is turning cold, and they are so little, that I would crochet them some sweaters for the winter months. I did each of these sweaters in one night and I think I did pretty good for never having done this before. They look so adorable in their little sweaters.

A couple of weekends ago we ventured out to an event at the dark park called Barkaroo. It was a benefit to raise money for the Murfreesboro Dog Park. We had such a great time getting to show off our little guys and meet some new friends. Cooper and Sophie got to play with some new friends too and they both seemed to really enjoy it (Cooper more than Sophie). Sophie is a very shy little girl in public, but pretty outgoing and rowdy in the house. Cooper is the exact opposite most times. He loves to be around people and dogs, and when he is home he usually likes to curl up with one of us and sleep. They compliment each other well.

These two little puppies have become the joy of our lives and have added so much to our home in the few short months we have had them. I cant wait for my NC family to finally get to meet them over Thanksgiving break.
