Our New Addition to our Family


This is SoBe. Yes, like the drink. She is our newest member to the Davidson family. SoBe is a chocolate lab and is about 18 months-2 years old. Matt has always wanted a dog. He had a golden retriever when he was growing up named Toby. Matts parents have a dog and Jake loves to play with him. We adopted her from the animal shelter in SLC. We have only had her for a couple days, and in those couple of days she has fallen in LOVE with Matt. I have to emphasis Love because she follows him everywhere. She is really hyper and loves human interaction. So far she is good with the kids. She just has a wild side of her and some times that scares Jake. I could see why, to be honest some time she intimidates me. But she really wants to be part of our family. She has "kennel cough" and some diarrhea so right now she is a outdoor dog.

We also got her to guard the sandbox from the neighbor hood cats. They have decided that our new sandbox is a kitty heaven for pooping. I am tired of finding kitty surprises in the sand and hope that SoBe will do her job at keeping those cats out. I thought that my daycare kids would be scared to death of her but they love her. This will be a fun new experience.

This is her right after her first bath. She did not like it one bit.

if you give SoBe a little bit of yogurt (only vanilla) it helps with the poopy poops

Oh... She is so cute. Todd wants to get a lab. But has to wait till we get a yard. And our dog Pepper hates baths as well ;p But she is beautiful!

I like SoBe too! Can you guess who it is? It's your little sister Amy. Aiden and Jacob look very cute in those spring clothes! Tell them that their Aunt loves them, and have fun with your new truck!
