Welcome Home, Sadie!

January 15, 2007

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.

Baby Maddox

January 11, 2007

I met Maddox when she was a puppy playing in the back yard at ELWC. My neighbor was in the process of adopting her, and had brought her home to meet her other dog and see if it would be a good fit. Lucky for me, my neighbor returned Maddox to the adoption agency a few months later. Although I had already adopted her rescue-mate Sadie, I knew I needed to make room in my world for this little girl as well.
