Happy 3rd Gotcha Day Sadie Jane!!

It was three years ago today, that we drove to meet/pick-up Sadie.  I was so excited to be getting a hound of my own!  When we first met her, she was so anxious!  We had asked her foster mom tons of questions.  One of which was: "why would anyone ever give her up?"  Foster mom said "the family couldn't handle her"

After talking for a half hour, she jumped into our car and we were on the way home.  We made a few pit stops along the way.  One of which is now her favorite store, Petsmart.  When we got home, she was crazed!  She wouldn't sit down for long.  It was a constant upstairs, downstairs kind of night.  I remember being exhausted!  Even during the night she didn't sleep well.  After a couple weeks, she was still rambunctious and not settling down like I thought she should.  We contemplated calling BBR to see if we could give her back....but we didn't.

And I'm so happy we kept her, because three years later she is my BABY!  I couldn't imagine life without her.  She comes to work with me, watches my every move, goes for endless walks with me, and sometimes curls up by my legs at night when we sleep.
