Life with Dog, a year later

Filed under: /LifeWithDog — @ 9:28 pm
Tomorrow will mark a year to the day since I adopted Sadie. In celebration I took the day off and went to Magnuson Park where they have a very large off leash dog park with trails and beach access.

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”
