Like we need another as we have two. :-) Trouble is Alina has a heart the size of Klug's humidor. While showing a client a foreclosed home she found that a young women was living in the empty house. With this women she found a dog cowering in the corner. The women said that the dog was her boyfriends but that her boy friend was now "locked up" and she can't take care of the dog. The women told Alina that her boyfriend had "shocked" the dog while she was pregnant causing the dog to lose her puppies. She also told her that the dog had not eaten in at least three days. Alina asked the women if she could have the dog and was told she could.

We took her to the vet and got all her shots and blood tests done. We are treating her for fleas and worms. The vet said she in no more than two years old. We set her up in a kennel in my shed (I put in a window AC unit due to the heat) for a few days until all her tests come back before we introduce her to our current two dogs.

I am trying very hard not to get attached to this dog as I would really like to find her a good home where she can get the one on one attention she needs. However, it's very hard as she is so sweet. She has fantastic manners and other than being a little shy you couldn't ask for a nicer dog.

Alina has named her Sofie and she really seems to like her new surroundings. Wish us luck on finding her a good home.

I just can't understand how people can treat animals in such cruel ways. This dog is just so kind. It's amazing she trusts humans after what she has been through.

Please allow me to introduce, Sofie!

Props to Alina. That's a very kind gesture of both of you.

such a cute puppy good on you for taking her in

So you couldn't sell "Millie" or "Flora", huh, Al?

But god bless and good luck! :-)

We all know that Alina has to have a big heart, or she wouldn't be married to you! :-)

Very nice Al. Good luck on not getting attached to a looker like that. :-)

I get the feeling that you might just end up keeping Sofie. I think Sofie would like that too.:-) Dogs always know good people.

Very kind of Alina (and you to, Al).
Great, yet sad story, good luck not getting attached.
Let's see:
-Window unit AC, "I put in a window AC unit due to the heat"
-Vet Visit, "We took her to the vet and got all her shots and blood tests done"
-Named her, "Alina has named her Sofie"

Sounds like you've got yourself three dogs, my friend. :-)

On a serious note:
I'm with you 100%, I'll never understand how people can treat a dog like trash. I'd like to "Shock" that SOB. Sound's like he's where he belongs.

Glad to meet you, Sofie.
Keep us posted, Al. :-)

This isnt the first stray Alina has taken in :-):-):-)
[Reply]

Yep, Sofie looks like the kind of dog that would love to herf with you Al!

She's a very pretty pooch, and I wish you luck in NOT getting attached to her! :-)

If I lived anywhere near Joisey, I'd be considering adding her to my family! of course, as much as my wife loves our dogs and cat's, I'm sure she'd be sending the boys out back to dig a big hole to hide my body! :-)

Awesome gesture by Alina and you!!! Looks like Sofie might be staying awhile. Big props brother!! :-)
[Reply]

:-) That dog's not going anywhere. Kudos for taking her in. :-)
[Reply]

:-)

I know you will keep her :-)
[Reply]

You NEVER name the dog, AL!!!!

sheesh!!!

Did you forget WHY you got in trouble for bringing home YOUR first dog??

:-):-):-)
[Reply]

Your ****ed Al, you're keeping her but welcome to your new doggie. You should name her Belicoso or Belicosa since it is a female.

read the title
"So My Wife Brings Home A Dog"
I thought she brought Al home
:-)
[Reply]

I think she already did find a good home Al
[Reply]

Good for you all Al. Sophie will take good care of you.
[Reply]

It sounds like you already have, buddy. :-)
[Reply]

Good for you guys. My wife decided to get the kids a dog ( because they needed one). I was not fond of that idea. But as it turned out, I think the dog likes me better than my own family. She is not a man's man dog though. An 11lb. Shi-tzu. And the little thing has an underbite which makes her tongue stick out a little all of the time. My buddy Wayne ( Waynegro ) likes to make fun of her a lot. Problem is, she loves her Uncle Wayne too. Good luck with the pooch. Sounds like she has a great home.

You've allowed Sofie to move into your house and heart. I believe she's "home." Good for you and Alina. :-)
