new puppie!

Meet Sophie! She is a 3 month old Chiweenie (chihuahua + dachshund), we adopted from a rescue in Pennsylvania  - she's got big floppy ears and looks like a little kangaroo joey. She's very sweet and mellow and is adjusting quite well. Kashie and Gracie are getting use to her. Gracie is a little too big for her, but she really likes Kashie who is starting to be her little protector. It's funny seeing them all play together. Everyone was a little depressed after we lost Pepper, so we are happy for a little sunshine running around the house again.
