Yes, we love Sophie. But we're talking about another focus on love.

My sweet Sophie loves lots of things - her family, squirrels, food, squirrels. But she seems to have a special place in her heart for squeaky, squishy things.  Sophie would never harm anything squishy - unless it breathes and is shaped like a squirrel - or a lizard. In short, this girl adores her toys.

This Saturday's Focus on Life theme (over at Sally Russick's Studio Sublime blog) is a visual representation of love.  Head over and visit and...well...spread the love.

Oh! Dogs and their toys! Sometimes it really is true love.

I'm in love with Sophie! LOVE the last pic!

She's a pretty girl. I don't have squirrels but I do have mice....

Hi Lori,
Sophie is so adorable with her toys. My Chewy love his toys to shreds literally.

LOL I can so understand. We have a rescue labradoodle, which I mistakenly gave a Reese's Pieces pillow to for Christmas last year, and still waiting for the squeaker in it to give out!

Sophie is such a gorgeous dog... I feel like I know her sometimes. My pepper has a soft hedgehog toy ( amongst others) which she is good at using as a small pillow sometimes. Love Soph's collection.

I do love your Sophie and I am a bit envious that she is gentle with her plushies. One of mine rips shreds them in 5 minutes. And the other (the lab) shakes them to pieces.

I love Sophie! The last shot, her nose, spectacular. There is nothing like the love of a pet.

I love that last photo so adorable!!!

freshbakeddesigns February 9, 2013 at 10:30 AM  

Me, too! My fav is the last photo. Most dogs are all about the nose!

Love the pics! That last one should be printed and hung on your wall!!! I have a dog like that, loves anything squeaky! We always have a bet when we get her new toys how long it will take to get the squeaker out!!!! And the duck I see in her "toy box", we have one toooo...lol. Do we dote on our animals or what!!!

Bella is our first pup that has an attachment to toys, if she does not figure out how to destroy it in the first 24 hours then it is a keeper.
We have always had at least three dogs so when there were toys involved there would be a fight. They are just like people they want what ever someone else has.
Bella is our first little dog so I think the rest of the pack let her have her toys because they really don't think she is a dog.

Ha! I love that so many of us focused this challenge on your pets. Sophie is precious!

Sally Russick February 9, 2013 at 12:54 PM  

Lori, I want to give Sophie a big kiss of her cute nose! I can definitely feel the love she has for her toys, squirrels!

Laura Twiford February 9, 2013 at 1:18 PM  

Lori I love the perspective on that last shot! I can just about feel her breath! Beautiful photography!

Lori I love your photos of Sophie! That last photo is just so adorable!

Janet Bocciardi February 9, 2013 at 2:39 PM  

Oh Sophie - my Moose completely understands. He loves them best when they squeak.

Lola February 9, 2013 at 3:16 PM  

Sophie is so beautiful! She completely stole my heart in that last photo!

MaryL February 9, 2013 at 5:36 PM  

She is such a sweetie!! I just love her face! :)

Mary K. McGraw February 9, 2013 at 5:50 PM  

Love the closeup picture of Sophie with the toy in her mouth.

Tanya February 9, 2013 at 8:45 PM  

What great photos. I love seeing Sophie and it's awesome to see her with her favorite toys.

A Polymer Penchant February 9, 2013 at 10:42 PM  

hehe, adorable! I've never had a dog but my best friend did growing up. That dog loved tennis balls more than just about anything. She's gone now, but when I think of her it's almost always her shoving a slobbery ball towards me or her snout resting on my thigh, waiting.

Kathleen Lange Klik February 10, 2013 at 9:17 AM  

Sweet photos. I especially like the last one! I too adore my dog; life is filled with more love because of her. Her favorite toys are ropes-she loves to chew on them until they are shreds of fiber!

Jennifer February 10, 2013 at 12:05 PM  

My first dog was a black lab Sophie! I gasped when I started reading... oh that nose!

Rdegas February 10, 2013 at 3:01 PM  

I really love your photos, especially the last one of Sophie! She is truly adorable! She looks to be such a sweet girl. Thank you for sharing her photos with us!

LoriF February 10, 2013 at 5:47 PM  

OMG Lori, I laughed out loud at that last picture! How totally adorable!

Cynthia@Ornamental Style February 11, 2013 at 10:53 AM  

Your Sophie looks so precious and well-loved.

maryharding February 12, 2013 at 1:56 AM  

Such a loving expression on Sophie's face!!

Shel February 13, 2013 at 2:02 PM
