Let me introduce myself…

Woo-Hoo! Yay! It’s that time of day…Never fear, Miss Jen is here and we’re going out to play! (well I’m supposed to be pottying but all good things in due time)…I’m sorry, I’ve gotten ahead of myself but I do that alot!) so, back to the introductions…My name is Sophia but my people call me a lot of different names, like Soph, Fia, FiFi, Noodle McDoodle, Puppers, Monkey (because my Mommy says I act like one but I don’t even know what a monkey is so I can’t really argue with her on that). I don’t really care what anyone calls me as long as it’s not late for dinner. I’m 7 yrs old and I’m a Black Lab/Beagle Mix. My Mommy is Cara and my Daddy is Chaz and we live on top of a big hill in a place called Cockeysville.

When I was just a little puppy I had different people and lived in a different place. The girl person really loved me but the man person was very mean & treated me so badly.  Even though I heard her say she didn’t want me to go, the man said I had to and one day Cara & Chaz came to where I lived and they were sooo nice to me. I was kept in this horrible metal cage thing that I wouldn’t have minded but it was way too small for me…I couldn’t even turn around in it. First I saw Cara coming toward me and she knelt down nice & slow (I think she could tell I was scared) and she said “oh, look at her, she’s so small & too cute”. She opened the door & reached inside to pick me up.  I really wanted to meet them but because of that mean man I was a little hesitant to let another man grab me so as soon as Chaz picked me up I wriggled free. I wasn’t trying to be unsocial but I didn’t know them and was a little scared. They really seemed nice but in my 2 short months being alive I had been fooled before so I was going to play this my way. Ok, maybe my way wasn’t a great idea because the next thing I knew I was back in that darn cage thing, but, wait a minute, this time the cage was moving…hold on people, no one told me what was happening. Chaz was carrying me outside and Cara was right behind him carrying the couple of toys that the girl person had gotten me in the short time I  was there and they put me in the back of one of those things called a car that moves REALLY fast, waaay faster than my little legs anyway, and we were on our way to somewhere new (glad they knew where they were going because I was completely lost)
