Home

After boarding at the hospital on Saturday, February 28th, we were not certain whether or not we would be able to take Sophie home on Sunday. We were hoping and praying, but we had not heard if her CBC was showing anything. Usually the doctors did their rounds early in the morning, but on Sunday their schedule was different. No one could tell us anything, so we just hung out with our little one. We had heard rumors of several inches of snow being on its way, but this is NC, you never know what you're going to get. Thankfully we were first on the rounds list because we were going home! 

Here she is in her "going home" outfit - I couldn't resist the pink and green buttons :)

Sophie's first day home we awoke from a nap to a winter wonderland, in March. 

Although we didn't take Sophie out to play in the snow, Ellie loved running laps in the snow (you can see her tracks if you look closely).

Finally...

We finally got SNOW!!! Ellie has enjoyed playing in the snow. She ran laps around the backyard. She would get cold, come in, warm up, and beg to go outside again. According to the weather man we weren't supposed to get anything but flurries. It may or may not be around in the morning, so we decided to go ahead and play a little bit even though it was close to midnight.

Accumulation on my car!

Ellie caught mid-lap around the backyard.

Notice the snow caked onto her back paws. She loved it!

Ellie had so much fun playing in the snow and running laps, she is now curled up on the couch ready for bed.
