Good News

It has been a while since I last posted. Today I want to share with you our happy, happy news. We have a new baby! Sadie finally has a playmate. She loves to play with her new brother Rudy. Rudy is a little boy chihuahua. His coloring is much lighter than Sadie's is. They have the same mother but they have different fathers from the same branch of their family tree. Rudy isn't too photogenic yet, he wiggles and puts his ears down so it is hard to get a good pic. Here's what the kids look like.

Sadie takes nice pictures on this chair but the new kid wouldn't stay in it for his picture,

We hope you are all safe. 

We love you...

No One to Play With 😢

Yesterday was Thanksgiving and we had a very small celebration due to the pandemic. My mother-in-law, Sadie’s omi, came for dinner with her furry baby Sofia. Sofia is in her doggie elder years so she likes to take it easy much more than a youngster like Sadie does. Sadie tried her best to play with Sofia who was having nothing to do with it. 

Eventually, Sadie wore herself out and was happy to be held on her omi’s lap. 

We hope that all of you had a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Sadie Remodels

 Sadie loves to be in the kitchen when I am in there. She has a little bed under the counter by the stool I sit on. Today, she decided she didn't like things the way they were so she remodeled by taking the round pillow out of her bed and putting it closer to where my feet usually rest when I am sitting at my usual place. I looked in her bed and there were all sorts of crumbs and miscellaneous items like twigs in it. Here's a glimpse of what she did. She is so proud of herself. When she was a little bit younger, you can see where she tried to eat the cabinet. She still likes to chew on things but she is getting better as she gets older. Next week she will be 8 months old so she is still going through puppy stages.

Time for me to sign off for now. We hope everyone is staying safe. 

Hugs, 

Sadie and her  mom

Sadie Is in Recovery Mode

 Sadie went to the vet last week and had a couple surgeries. Like good pet owners, we had Sadie spayed. She had some baby teeth that did not come out so she also had 2 teeth extracted. If that wasn't enough, we had her microchipped too. Sadie was able to come home the same day and the poor baby was very groggy. Here's a look at the poor darling--

I was so sad to see my furry baby subdued and out of it. It is usually hard keeping up with her and keeping her out of things and places she shouldn't be in but the next day she was either asleep or sitting in someone's lap. As bad as I felt having all that done to her, it was all done with going under anesthesia one time. She will be healthier for it and that's worth a few days of being groggy.

I'll be signing off now. 

Take care of yourself!

Sadie's Playtime

 Sadie loves to play. She plays with people, her omi's chihuahua and toys. She has a box of toys scattered all over the house. Oops, husband's laundry basket is there too so I guess Sadie isn't the only one to blame for the mess--😁. She's so darned cute though that she probably gets away with more than she should. Here's a short video for you to see her in action.

Daily Grooming with Omi

 Sadie loves her omi and her omi loves her. Omi comes over to visit with Sadie every day. They play, give kisses to each other and Omi brushes her. Sadie loves getting brushed and looking pretty. Here's a picture of Sadie being groomed by Omi.

For those of you who are wondering what "omi" means, it is a less formal way of saying "grandmother" in German. Omi originally came from Germany so we have adopted a few German traditions.

We hope everyone is staying healthy. Bless everyone one because you are ALL important.

Love,

Sharon

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...
