Sophie is a beautiful 10 1/2 lb
approximately 10 year old Maltese sweetheart. She had a rough start
after her release having to spend two weeks in an x-pen recuperating
from double hernia surgery, but is now loving freedom and enjoying life
in her foster home. I think she is a miracle baby because I can't
imagine how long she would have lived with hernias that size if not
saved by her rescue angel.
Sophie is a very brave little lady, but does have her safe space under
her foster parent's bed. At least once a day we have to play ollie-ollie
in free and collect all of the clothes and other items that she has
taken from the house and hidden there. We noticed that the toy basket
was half empty and found all of those under there too, but we let her
keep the toys, blankets and beds that she has taken there. We need our
towels, clothes and socks so do take them back from her! :) Sophie's
foster skin sister unpacked her things when she got to college, and
found some of them missing. We found them after she left under the bed!
Sophie must have been sneaking in to where we were stacking her things
and stealing them one at a time!
While Sophie loves to collect toys I have not seen her play with any
yet. Here foster sister Kati has tried to engage her in play and she
starts to but is still learning how.
Sophie will take a treat from our hand and loves to eat, and has gone on
the potty pad and outside. She will bark at me in the morning until I
let the pups outside and is the first one out of the door. Other times
in the day I have to coax her outside by standing behind the door. She
does love to be in the yard!
I can tell that Sophie is getting ready to trust us, but she still
crouches down when she comes to you to be loved. She seems to like us
all but does follow foster dad more than the rest of us. She is so funny
at times and just runs like a little deer through the house with her
tail wagging!
If you are interested in adding a very sweet, beautiful little girl to
your family who will give you years and years of love - please email her
foster mom at rescuejust1@yahoo.com
Thanks!
Cheryl and Sophie
