I met Sadie briefly one afternoon. She was nervous, and her belly didn't feel too good (giardiasis), so we didn't get to have a sleep-over. I loved meeting her, and tried to remind myself that the upcoming weekend was simply a 'trial period', and not a firm commitment. Despite that sentiment, I set out to purchase all the dog goodies: leash, bowl, treats, toys, bed. (Yeah... 'trial' my ass.)

We had our first overnight over MLK weekend in January 2007. She's sporting a new harness because the collar had rubbed a bald spot in the soft fur of the neck.
