Here is Sophie (left) and her new best friend Tuff, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, lounging by the fireplace in her new home in Montgomery. Due to health issues, we were forced to move into an Independent Living facility which did not permit pets. Fortunately, our realtor, Staci Rogers, took Sophie into her home. We are grateful to Staci and pleased that Sophie is happy and thriving in her new home.
Sophie was gifted to us by Corey Benedict of SIDEKICK Kennels in central Florida on October 24, 2019. She is simply spectacular. We were fortunate to have her with us for several years. Thank you, Corey, for your generosity in placing Sophie in our charge. We will love her forever.
Sophie is a young pup on her way to becoming a champion.

Here we are with Sophie at SIDEKICK just minutes before packing her in the back seat and heading to her new home in Hattiesburg, MS. Such a joyous day!
Sophie is our 5th adult Springer that we have taken into our lives. We have also previously adopted four adult Golden Retrievers. We are often asked why we prefer adults over puppies. Not an easy question to answer as our hearts are always melted by the presence of a puppy. Perhaps adult dogs are the more sensible choice for us simply because, like us, they are often being uprooted and need someone to fill the void. Love matters most.
