Sophie is our dog. She is a mix of many types of dog and weighs about 40 pounds. We have been told that the best dogs have spots on their tongues....hmmm not sure where that came from but Sophie is the best dog and she has lots of spots everywhere. We picked her up at the Jackson County Friends of the Animal Shelter on New Year's Eve 5 years ago. The first day we got her she escaped the totally fenced backyard. She sat in the front yard waiting for us to return home. She is settled into our family now. At Christmas I decided she needed nothing, she had plenty of toys and treats. Well her friends and family thought otherwise. See photo of her special toys from Maggie, our daughter and son-in-laws dog. Well of course Christmas bows make her look beautiful and she knows it. Then my friend Patricia decided Sophie really needed that coat I had been talking about making for years. Sophie hates the rain and we live in the Willamette Valley. The pattern came on Christmas Eve and I made it for her a few weeks later out of bright rain proof fabric from the Rain Shed and cozy bright fleece. The Rain Shed is a great store for water proof fabrics, visit in Corvallis or on- line. Christmas came late for Sophie. Happy 2011 Sophie and to you all!

oh my, Santa almost missed Sophie's house! I know she was a good girl all year and deserved a goodie or two, so glad she got them. And what a smart looking yellow slicker she's got now - brave that rain Sophie!
