My Rock Star
Sophie knows she is loved, admired,special, a rock star. When I take her on walks, she struts. She has a walk about her that says look at me or here I am. Everyone loves dogs here, they are allowed everywhere except the grocery store. It still shocks me to see a dog in a restaurant, but the dogs here are very well trained. They mind themselves, just lay under the table or next to their owners chair. I think people know Sophie is not a German trained dog she has no manners, she jumps on people to be greeted, she begs for food, she demands petting. The only good thing is she really doesn't bark, occasionally one slips out but it's rare. People will ask about her when we are out, at first I had no clue what they were asking, now I know the questions are always the same. They always confirm she is a Fox Terrier, want to know if girl or boy and how old she is, and her name. Anything after that I don't understand and usually just smile and shake my head and say Ja. And we walk away Sophie struts....it's funny I think she used to walk like Eeyore oh bother, not now!
She is my rock star and we are her entourage.

Sophie is adorable and she knows it! How is she doing with the anxiety issues? Has it gotten better?
I'm amazed that dogs are allowed in restaurants but not grocery stores. You would think that the grocery stores would be okay too.
Sophie's really adorable... and really cute.
She is so darn cute..that picture looks like she is smiling big for the camera..lol I see dogs everywhere here too..grocery stores included..Im not thrilled that they allow that.
Dogs here are so grown up..you walk past them and they could care less about you..they are just like dutch people. They stand and wait, don't wag their tales,never get excited and if you use baby talk with them they look at you like you're an idiot! LOL
you're my rock star too Sophie!! love the story....does she get to go to the restaurants too? and show those german dogs how it rolls in the states?!

I love Sophie's spirit. She IS a rock star. When I've traveled to Italy-I am always amazed at the places that dogs are allowed-and yes, very well behaved. Too bad we Americans can't follow suit-although there are some places that have realized that many dogs are better behaved than their owners...
She really is! I love that picture.
Isn't it lovely how dogs are so well loved here? When we lived in England, people would stop and to talk to Trudy (our dog) and give her treats (that they just happened to carry in their coat pockets). Then they would give her one last pat and leave. All without saying one word to us. LOL!
That's one thing I miss about England. Our dog has to be on the leash if we're out anywhere here. In the UK nobody had their dog on the leash yet they were very well behaved. Mine was invited behind the counter in the eyeglass shop...her slightly muddy feet and big tail wagging...they brought out treats...she thinks she's a person so she didn't see the big deal but we couldn't believe it. We call ours a super model : ) Your rock star is cute!
What a great story. She is so darn cute. Good to know dogs are well liked here.
She is adorable...
Blessings, andrea
Maybe you should bring her to Paris then...
They LOVE their dogs there too.
Although you must be aware while walking in residential areas of the city because no one seems to LOVE picking up the dog poo.
i'm a dog lover and she is a cutie. love that photo of her. she's adorable.
Love this story. I can just see her walking like Eyeore and now...not anymore!

That is the greatest, most perfect photo of Sophie! You must be honored that she allows you to be part of her entourage!
Rock on Sophie!! That is amazing that dogs can go everywhere. Princess would love that. She wishes that we could take Sophia Rose with us everywhere we go.
Such a sweetie pie!
She is cute and she doesn't bark? Nice!
Germans do love their dogs! Sophie freakin' adorable! How long have you been in Bremen now? Have you learned any German from your daily interaction with natives?
She is quite the cutie. :) I love dogs myself and would love to have one someday. And that's really quite cool that you can take them into restaurants there!
she is a rock star! Your stories about your life in Bremen are always amusing and informative. I wish more dogs would be allowed in more places here in the USA! xoxo
Ahhh, the universal language of dog lovers. Sophie IS a rock star!

Sophie!! We all love you.
Oh Sophie! She reminds me so of my Kelly girl. She used strut like no ones business. G and I were really missing her today. I had to show him Sophie's photo. XO...
Sophie is a doll. Of course the world revolves around her.
Oh look at that face..adorable rock star.
Europe loves dogs! France is the same way, you can take dogs everywhere.
What a happy pup!
Have a good weekend!
Sophie is a cutie pie!
When we moved to the States as kids we used to make fun of our mom for always saying 'Yes.' Whatever was asked of her, the answer was always a resounding, 'Yes!'
You have priorities straight! Dogs rule, and Sophie is a beautie! What a great dog. She knows how to act like an American!
XOXO

She's too much :) She's my favorite kind of dog :)
