Puppy Sofia Joins the Fetterman Family

Look What Just Arrived:  Special Delivery!

This is Sofia - a rat terrier - puppy, puppy, puppy!

I know what you are thinking - so cute, adorable right?

Well - little David loves her - no question about it.

A boy's delight.  Of course, the girls at his after school program were swooning over this little ball of fur.

Mom is really the reason we have Sofia.  She wanted another dog.  However, the plan was not a puppy but you know how these things happen.  

A student was given this pure bred, was overwhelmed, gave it to his mom, they put the puppy on Craigslist for sale with an absolute deadline, and, bottom line, it was on its way to the pound.   

Summer saw the add and made the call.  We arrived at the door and it was clear this was a hand-off situation - literally.  The mom held the puppy in the air to hand it over to us, no food, no dish, no toys - "just take it" was the message that came across non-verbally.

We brought the little girl home.  Bitsy loved playing with this little girl.  (Although sometimes you can see Sofia is perceived as a nuisance - Bitsy is getting a bit older.  But overall, Bitsy enjoyed having a little buddy to knock around.  No worries - she is pretty gentle with her.)

Since Thanksgiving is right around the corner, Dad has some time to make the little man some lunch in the park - nothing like a grilled cheese sandwich in the middle of the day on the grass right?

We can see David is enjoying his sandwich, but Sofia is so at home she is looking at David's lunch too - maybe feeling a little too entitled already.  

Dad just looks on - cute little puppy - but remind me, "how did this happen again?"
