meet sonia!

[quietann]

My inlaws have a new puppy, a Komondor. When she grows up she will get dreadlocks! Elinor (my MIL) reports that she's a very mellow puppy who already will come to her when called. I will get to meet her in a few weeks.

She's adorable. I can't wait to see the dreads.

Komondors were the coolest thing at the televised dog show, like a decade ago, but they'd have to be your only hobby to deal with the hair maintenance.

This Sonia has sort of secretly been growing dreads on the underside of her waist-length hair where we couldn't see them. I bet the puppy looks cuter. ;)

Sonia the gigantic mop-dog! Can't wait to see how she grows up. I love doggies! (but you knew that)

This is actually my MIL's third Komondor. It's been maybe 20 years since the last one; now that the in-laws are happily retired to their farm in Vermont, and thinking about getting some sheep, it only seemed appropriate to get a sheep-guarding dog :)

She won't have dreads for a while; right now she's just fuzzy :)

Puppy! How cute!

Oh, and as I mentioned to Ben on Monday, we miss the both of you, and would welcome you dropping by sometime, together or separately.

A correction, my parents have informed me that her name is Sophie.

In the background of the photo, you can see her mom "Karma". She weighs about 117 pounds (I don't know how much of that is fur).
