Oh, just over 6 years ago, Brian and I got our first dog. She was just a pup and we named her Sadie. She is a black lab/blue heeler mix and is often mistaken for a small lab. Once you get to know her, you'll realize that, even though she looks like a lab, she acts like a blue heeler.
Sadie is a wonderful, intelligent, protective companion. She loves to be outside and has to be called in when it's time to go to bed. She has little time to fetch and would rather chase the ball and then run off with it. She prefers to stand guard and to hunt.
Sadie is quite the hunter. She has taken out many a fat groundhog and has killed her share of rabbits and moles. She and her best sister, Mia, decided to hunt deer one summer and managed to kill 3 or 4 fawns, much to my dismay. Leaving just the heads and legs in the yard and eating the rest, there was little for me to pick up and throw away.
Sadie smiles at me when she sees me coming home and is always eager to be fed (as if at 60 lbs. she's starving to death). She's nothing but a chunky monkey.
God bless Sadie. She makes me feel safe when I am home alone as if God has appointed her a guardian angel wrapped in fun and fur.
