My name is Sophie and I am a year and eight months old. Mommy and Daddy say I still have a puppy face though! I love playing with all of my toys but I am obsessed with balls.  I think every ball is mine and if I could carry 12 in my mouth I would!   I know where every dog park is in Manhattan, even if I haven’t played there.  When I am not playing, I love to bake in the sun and lay on my couch.  I also have more friends around the neighborhood than Mom and Dad do.  Everytime I meet someone new, I wag my tail and shake my butt and I know they will instantly be my friend. My new favorite spot is underneath the bed, but since I am growing everyday, it’s really hard to fit.   I have a very large vocabulary, and I think I understand everything mom and dad tell me, but I ignore them most of the time.  Chicken is my favorite food, but Dr. Nulton & Kimberly say I can’t have it.  I am so grateful for their love and care; they have made me the cute little pup I am today!
