A New Friend for Sophie!

One of the neighbors whose house is behind ours got a new puppy several months ago. The puppy started off in their house, but now, it lives out in back of their garage. It is tied to a downed tree limb, it's collar is a piece of twine, and it is constantly tangled in the tree limb and is walking thru piles of it's own poo. It is a very cute and nice puppy, and it is breaking Abby's heart to see that dog in those conditions. She has been taking it treats, water, toys, and gave it Sophie's old dog collar.

Today, Abby and Andrew asked the lady that lives at the house if they could bring the dog to our yard to play. When the lady said yes, the kids tied the dog, whom they named "Max" (even though he is rummored to be named Duke) to one of our trees with a couple of tie-outs. Max and Sophie LOVED each other! They played and played and played! I think Sophie was happy to find another puppy with the same energy level that she has! Jack liked Max, too, but he was interested in him for other reasons... (we HAVE to get that dog fixed!!!)

Here are Sophie and Max wrestling out in the yard...

All of that wrestling and chasing makes a dog thirsty!
