…are you the “real” dog whisperer?
I couldn't answer to that, although I do love dogs. In this case, I think it was just that I was giving him attention while everyone else was watching the kids pick up Easter eggs. Ear-scritching does that for them.
My girl Sadie turns 10 years old today. She is the best dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I was very lucky and blessed when I decided to get her sight unseen. My daughter had purchased her brother and I saw how intelligent he was, so I asked my daughter if the individual had any other pups available. He had one more left; a female that was the runt of the litter. I told her I would take it.
Sadie was 10 weeks old when I got her. She had only 1 and 1 ½ accidents in the house. I scolded the first time by growling at her. The second time I caught her squatting to pee; caught her - scolded her and took her outside. She never had another accident after that.
Sadie is not a digger in the yard nor is she an endless barker and only barks if there is a good reason to bark. We had a Jack Russell that would bark non-stop when outside and a digger.
Sadie is the most intelligent dog I have ever had. Sadie is not the most intelligent dog in the world; but she quite intelligent. She knows many words, commands, tricks and obeys me. She is very loyal and wants to be with me or know exactly where I am at all times.
Sadie loves to ride and we have traveled to 10 States together. She loves playing Frisbee and fetch. Now that she is getting older, she doesn’t have the energy she had when she was younger, so she only wants to play for shorter intervals.
I couldn’t ask for a better dog. I got lucky with this one. I sure hope she lives another 10 years.
Happy Birthday Sadie!

Yeppers...
...definitely defective.
If you need to get rid of them, we know some folks at church that could take them in. If nothing else, those families have kids that would get a big kick out of them.

Give them another week......
Happy Birthday Sadie! She’s a pretty girl.
Thank you! She is the best dog I have ever had. The most intelligent I have ever owned. She was easy to train. She is one of the loves of my life.
