Smith Family Adventures: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SPARKY!

Today is Monte and my 16th wedding anniversary. He's out on ship right now, but he's with me in my heart and I'm sure we will be celebrating next week after he gets home. I'm not going to be going to water aerobics today as my friend Ann isn't going to be able to go. So, since its my anniversary and Monte's gone, I think I'll go do something that I love to do. I'm going to go hang out at Barnes & Noble. I love being in that store. Being surrounded by the books, the quiet in the store and the smell of coffee from the Starbucks is so calming and soothing to me! When I go there, I find a book, grab a comfy chair somewhere and read for a couple of hours. Its great, did I say it was great? Can you tell that I love Barnes & Noble? Ha Ha

Its supposed to start raining today and continue through Saturday. So, I guess Sophie, the boys and I will be hanging out at home. More than likely we will be watching movies, playing the Wii and taking turns holding and cuddling with Sophie. I took Sophie to the vet on Monday for her first round of shots. We think she is golden retriever and chow and the vet agreed with that and thought she may also have some terrier in her. I'm beginning to believe that she does have some terrier. Her ears look very similar to a terriers and she is getting a darker yellow (the same color as her ears and muzzle) spot at the base of her tail as well as the tip of the tail is turning that darker yellow. It should be interesting to see what she looks like when she finishes growing. I just picture a fuzzy chow, with the coloring of a golden retriever and the spots of a terrier. Sounds interesting doesn't it? We love Sophie so much already though that its not going to matter what she looks like.
