Sophie, the mascot of Bella's Retreat, was born July 17, 2007 . She's now a genuine sledpup! We've enjoyed several short-track training sessions on the front sidewalk, Earl Grey School playground and on the River Trail . Thanks to our friends, both short and tall, who were a part of Sophie's first winter.
Watch Sophie in her first starring role: Sophie Needs a Cowboy by Clark McCaw. The music is by lucious blueswoman Suzie Vinnick. Boy-oh-boy!
