Sophie is now 15 weeks old and this week, she barked.  OK . . .that might not sound like a big deal if you aren’t a dog lover but trust me . . . once a dog finds their voice there is no stopping them!

At first Sophie’s barks were little bursts that surprised her as much as they did us. Then they got more insistent. And today, she discovered “alert” barking - the kind when someone comes to the door.  I think the Border Collie is coming out in her now.  Or maybe its the Aussie Shepherd?  These herding breeds tend to be big talkers and Sophie has both of them in her genetic make-up.   Neighbors beware!
