Dearest Sophie, a.k.a. Thaxton's Tryhena Sparks of Weybilyns, you are gorgeous! What an absolutely stunning Basset Hound you are. You're clearly measuring right up in that great photo, and thank you for sharing it with us. That's terrific, that you qualified for Crufts, the big dog show! You have the most delightful personality, too. You're sweet and friendly, and you love kids. You love to sit on laps to get cuddles. Your best friend is dear Dizzy the English Setter. You enjoy digging and chewing cardboard toilet roll tubes, and rain doesn't bother you. You and your dear family members all love each other very much, don't you. What a wonderful love-filled home you share!

Congratulations, darling Sophie,on being chosen today's Dog of the Day! We hope you and your pal Dixie and all your family and friends are enjoying a fine celebration, full of fun and lovies and all your favorite games and treats.
