Sadie

It’s been nearly three months since we got Sadie and I wanted to give you a quick update. She is doing wonderfully. She eats well, walks great on the leash, and is very gentle with everyone. We stopped crating her last week. She settles quickly into one of her beds at night and doesn’t make a beep until we come down in the morning. She is an attention seeker and will let you know with a tap of her paw that she is not quite done having you pet her. Occasionally she plays with her stuffed toys but isn’t showing any interest in fetch or tug.

We are training her on the electric fence now. She has done well with it overall and enjoys running around the yard.  Today she had a serious case of zoomies after her walk and ran laps around the house!  She still has trouble barking and pulling aggressively when other dogs are near.  I have an aunt who has fostered many dogs and owned a kennel. We are hoping to introduce Sadie to her dog in the next couple weeks with her supervising.

She has been a welcome addition to the family.  I did not realize how much I missed having a dog in the house! Thanks again for your help. We feel very lucky to have her.
