Oh wow...

My how time fades our memories! Life the last 7 days has certainly been eventful with Sadie Mae in the house. Let's see...we(meaning Sadie of course) have decided that night time means play time. I don't think Jeff or I have slept for more than an hour at a time the last week, and it seems as if my poor husband spends most of the nights in the living room with a very awake and very hyper puppy. Bless his heart! He tries to let me sleep as much as possible. I am so greatful he can survive and thrive actually, on such little sleep. Me on the other hand, I am a mess if I don't sleep at least 8 or 9 hours. (I know, what am I gonna do when we have kids...we will have to cross that bridge when we come to it :) She is psycho when it comes to food, she acts like every meal is her last! She has, how do I put this kindly, "discharged" a pile of worms that looked like spaghetti- I literally thought I was gonna vomit, and has learned to shriek when she is upset. Somehow, I think I forgot all of these wonderful types of experiences when I saw her. In my defense, however, Soto was and is an amazing, very low maintenence puppy and dog and has been since the get go. Doesn't really want alot of affection, came housebroken from day one, and after the first night, slept peacefully in his crate all night long(usually). But bless Sadie Mae, she is a cute little bugger in spite of herself. We are still working on getting along with Soto, I think he is more annoyed with her than anything. A shiba club member said it took him more than 3 months to get his new dog to get along with his shiba, and when he got a third dog, it took his shiba more than 6 months before the shiba wouldn't try to kill the new comer. We might be playing referee for quite awhile...But dogs are great and having never had any growing up, I wouldn't change the experiences for the world!
