PUPPY!!!!!!

so, I GOT A PUPPY!!!!!!!!!! well, i guess she's not technically a puppy anymore (she's 4 years old), but i think of every dog as puppy.... her name is Sadie, and she's a sweetheart and a total love-bug. she's an american staffordshire terrier, which apparently falls under the pit bull umbrella, but she's pretty small so i'm thinking she's a mutt. she is already pretty comfortable in the house (i only got her on monday, october 10th) and she is also already very comfortable with me. she's trained too, which is a HUGE bonus!!! i'm working with her to improve her walking skills (she pulls on the leash a bit), but otherwise she seems great! she was great with jack and elise, she's been mostly uninterested in other dogs and people who walk by, and she doesn't bark too much. and with the exception of one "accident" in the kitchen, she's been perfect so far in that regard.

here are some picture of Sadie. the first one is just a few minutes after she got to her new home:



this one is her first night, she was a little anxious:


bedtime:


this is where she spent the day yesterday as i worked on my SRP (how cute!):


needless to say, i'm SUPER excited to have a dog!!! i just don't want to mess her up, so i'm going to have to do my homework (and watch Dog Whisperer all the time).
