Sleeping Beauties

ps
I've been taking Sadie out in the morning and then bringing her upstairs while I get ready for work. Tom has taken to snuggling with Sadie, and it looks like she's growing pretty fond of this as well.

We went to our first dog obedience class tonight called Puppy Kindergarten. It's a lot about basic puppy behavior and even more about training the owners. :)

Mom K. is heading out here tomorrow for a visit and to meet her new granddoggy!

Settling In

Sadie is starting to settle in at the derailment of Tom's work productivity. I'm going to chose to believe he did not spend all of the afternoon as shown. This was however, how I found them when I came home from work.

Sadie is seeming less timid day by day and more engaged. She's acting less timid and more interested in exploring. She's figured how to climb up on and promptly fall of the lawn furniture. The weather has been lovely here, high 70s, so I think Tom and Sadie will have many of these days.

Sadie: Day 2

Well today was our first full day with Sadie, and it was an adventure. We woke up at 6 a.m. to what I can only describe as a mix of a howl and a rooster. Apparently her lungs are healthy. I ended up taking her outside. Tom ended up promptly falling asleep. :)

She's starting to interact more and actually started exploring versus cowering behind furniture. She's starting to come when called, and she had her first leash walk. She also ended up pooping in her kennel while we were out to dinner with friends (not so fun), but she made good progress over the last day.

Here are some new pictures of her. You can get a better sense of how tiny she is!

Meet Sadie!

Most of you know that we lost our dog Satchel a few weeks ago and that we've been having a hard time getting through that. We loved him terribly, and it's left our home and hearts a little empty.

Well, we starting looking around this week just to see what was out there for rescue dogs and we have a new addition to the family. Thank you familydogsnewlife! Sadie is a 15 pound, 3 month old mix. She's seems to have a lot of German Shepherd in her, but we don't have info about the parents. She's tiny, and very, very shy, so we're going to be busy with her for awhile. Enjoy!
