Meet Sadie!

Meet Sadie!  Our newest addition.  She is a 3 month old Shepherd/black Lab mix that we got from our local shelter.  She is such a doll.  Although Chevy isn't impressed with her puppy antics.  lol  

We had a meet and greet with Sadie and her siblings and picked her.  Then there was an agonizing wait to find out if we would be approved.  During that week, I struggled with whether this was the right decision for Chevy, first and foremost, us and her.  But the minute she was in my arms and

we drove home.  I knew it was the right decision.  Everything just came together after that.  

During the waiting process, I was trying to think of names for our little girl.  Then one day, with no thoughts about the dog or names, out of the blue the name Sadie came to me.  I tossed and turned it around for a while.  It wasn't until I looked up the meaning and I laughed out loud that I knew it was for her.  Sadie means "princess."  It was the perfect name.  ♥

Sadie is smart, independent, sassy and a little crazy.  lol  She must of ran around and around the yard for most of the day the first day we brought her home.  All that pent up puppy energy of being locked up exploded when we let her in the yard.  And it is those crazy puppy zoomies that get her in trouble with Chevy.  She keeps jumping in his face.  We have been working on putting a stop to that.  In fact, she does the same thing with me, especially if my face is at her level.  When Sadie does that, Chevy steps in between us and stops her.  Very cool!

It's strange, she has only been here 3 days and it feels like she's been here all along.  Sadie was definitely meant to be here.  So many blessings in this little one and with Chevy.  I didn't think my heart could ever burst again with love, but with these two there is no stopping it.  ♥
