My husband and I have been looking at adopting a dog for the longest time. We both had our hearts set on a boxer and one day, just to "look", we stopped at the Humane Society. Much to our surprise and delight, we found a female 2 year old, brindle boxer! Our hearts went out to her and adopted her right there.

Now, as we all know, the hardest part about getting a dog is the name. Her's was Maple, but it didn't sit well with either of us. Neither did Roxy, Tippy, Sox and a host of other names we and friends kept throwing at her. That night, all tuckered out and sleeping between our computer desks, we decided to play World of Warcraft. Logging on my husband said he needed to check on his character "Sophi". At the very mention of the name Sophi, our newest addition stirred and looked at him! Seeing this, I called out "Sophi!" and she wagged her little nub and came over to me!

Well, we now have a dog named Sophi named after one of my husband's characters and all our gamer friends won't let us live it down!

But I wouldn't have it any other way!

Wow that's good to hear, Sophi was a lovely name, congratulations!
