This weekend our friend Sophie, the smooth brindle doxie, turned six and we wanted to wish her a very happy belated birthday. I remember our photo shoot fondly, and to be perfectly frank the camera LOVES Sophie. Really I don’t think she could take a bad picture if she tried. She was also a prefect model and got along very well with Rufus; they were like instant friends and worked very well together. Hope it was a great day for you Sophie. So happy you were born, and we’re happy to know you. Sophie and her pack mate Brutus are featured in the book 102 Dachshunds, a great gift to give or get this holiday season.
