Life with Dog, a year later

Over the past year Sadie has changed a lot from the dog that did not know how to chase a ball, walk on a leash, and jumped in fear at every loud noise. The thing I have most trouble believing is that minus a week or two when I was out of town, I have gone on at least two walks every day for the past year.

Things I have learned:

• Sadie does not like water (except to drink)
• Sadie loves greenies, but they dont always love her
• Dogs too can have thyroid problems
• Never leave my socks out when I am not home
• Sadie loves Teriyaki scraps
• Don’t leave a half pound piece of Salmon on the kitchen island (even if your only going out for 15 minutes)
• Sadie does not play with her toys and does not like other dogs playing with her toys

Things Sadie has learned:

• How to chew through her leash when I am playing softball
• How to walk on a leash
• How to chase and pick up her ball (but not bring it back)
• How to “Go lie down”
• How to “crawl”
