Sadie is wonderful and too cute for her own good.  She is definitely a lover but also has more energy than I do.  She loves to play, preferring the noisy toys of course, or to nap on the couch using Mom or Dad as a pillow.  Sadie has recently discovered she is tall enough to see out the front window and spends much of her day checking out the neighborhood.  She spends so much time at the window she usually takes a toy with her and leaves it on the window sill.  She absolutely loved the snow! 

 Sadie sleeps through the night but must have an internal clock that wakes her up between 6:00 and 6:30 every day!  I guess it’s a good thing that’s when I wake up for work.  As of mid December Sadie is a mere 11lbs but is healthy as can be.  She is still working on potty training but is progressing well.  She has not spent a lot of time on a leash but is doing great socializing with her doggy cousins and friends and all the people she meets.  She loves attention and wants to please.  What a great dog!!

During the next few months, Michelle taught us (including hands on lessons) how to raise a puppy and start training him at home.  She also showed us grooming basics and the care and feeding of a healthy puppy.  We are extremely happy with him.  As a family, we are now a dog and cat family.  We are taking him to star puppy training soon, and look forward to many years of fun that Digger will provide our family.
