Life with Sadie

Hello everyone, it's Sadie's mom. Life has certainly changed since Sadie came to live with us. Sadie's dad and I had forgotten what it was like to have a puppy child. She is one active little girl. As any parent knows, when your child is being quiet, then chances are they're up to no good. The other day it had been very silent in our house and no sight of Sadie for a few minutes. I went to look for her and found her in the kitchen with a most guilty look on her face. She had jumped and was able to pull a partial pack of hotdog buns off the counter and was having a carbohydrate feast! That will teach us to leave the edge of the bag hanging off the counter. 

In this picture, Sadie has her favorite "baby." She loves this toy and it is already getting ragged and dirty. I may try to wash it and see how that works. She has plenty of other toys that you can see in the background. Sadie may be a mischievous imp but we love her. She keeps us so busy that we don't have the time to feel sad over Nellie Belle's passing although I do have some very special memories of her that I recall every now and then. 

We hope you are staying safe. Now is the time to take up hobbies or maybe adopt a furry little friend. Take care...

Chihuahua Mom

My Name is Sadie

Hello everyone! I am Sadie. I just moved in a few weeks ago. I was born on March 22nd of this year. My first few months were in a loving home where I received lots of hugs and cuddles. My new mom says that made it easier for me to be a sweetheart.

I am still a puppy though and I like to explore new things. My new mom says "Sadie, don't chew on cords!' or when I'm outside "Sadie don't eat bird seed/leaf/twigs. Dad has this loud machine to clean the outside up but I can always find something to gnaw on. 

Mom and Dad were very sad after my big sister (I never met her) died. They brought me home and not to be smug, I cheered them right up. I haven't warmed up to Dad yet. Prior to moving here, I had very little contact with men. My dad seems nice but I have to take my time becoming friends with him. 

Mom has spoiled me a little bit with toys and a new bed that looks like a tepee. Guess with all that and the cuddles I get I am a pretty lucky girl.

Hope to see you again.

Sadie

A Forgotten Post re: A Visit to the Dog Park

This is a post that has been sitting in the draft folder for a few years. I have not kept up with this blog. I did however, want to let you know that Nellie Belle has crossed to the other side on June 29th, 2020. She had been treated for a heart murmur for many years. After so many years, the medication no longer worked and she couldn't take a big drink of water without fainting and so a difficult decision had to be made. We were devastated by the loss of Nellie. The vet we took her to, recommended that we get another little one. No one could take Nellie's place but another little one could help to heal our hearts. We did adopt another little chihuahua and I will introduce you to her at another time.

Here's the post that was in the draft folder:

The family became snowbirds this winter. We're enjoying the warm weather and are thankful we were able to be away from the awful weather. The area we live in here in Florida doesn't allow fences so Nellie has to be walked when she needs to do her "duty." There is an area here that is known as a dog park. It is just a small lot that is fenced in and your canine kids are able to run and frolic off their leashes. Nellie was very excited when we walked to the dog park.

When she got inside the gate, she ran...

and ran some more...

All in all, it was a good day.

God bless everyone and their furry loved ones too.

Nellie Belle Video Select

Nellie Belle hasn't been here for a while but she decided that this video needed to be posted. Nellie found it when she and her mommy were playing around on Youtube. Check this out, and see how hard these cute chihuahuas have to work for a treat. AARF!



Poop Bags to use when walking your dog.

Thankful Doggies...

Sometimes our "kids" aren't very appreciative of all they're given. These "kids" give thanks for their food before dining.

Opi Has Passed

Our Opi has passed away. He hasn't been feeling well lately. He went to the vet yesterday morning and was given some antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection and lasix for some fluid on his heart. The vet was optimistic that with the meds Opi would be around much longer. Unfortunately, this morning when my husband got up, he found Opi deceased on the step between our kitchen and family room.

Here is a slide show in memory of our sweet Opi. We'll never forget him.

Opi's Opinion on His New Shirt.

Here's the new shirt my mom bought me. She keeps me in shirts because I scratch my back and I can't do it with a shirt on. I think this shirt is goofy because I'm always going to look short because I'm a chihuahua! What do you think?
