We did a thing yesterday. We went to a dog rescue place and picked out a new dog. Sadie is her name. They had named her Lucky Leprechaun. I liked the Irish theme but didn’t like the name so on the drive home I got a list of Irish female names and we all liked Sadie. She seems okay with it.
Heather and I went first and kind of picked her in a preliminary way then we drove home, got our son and our other dog Kodi and drove back. Logan liked her. Sadie and Kodi made introductions and then kind of ignored each other, so at least there was no blood. Our son Logan liked Sadie as well. We actually spent most of the day at the place talking with the people that worked there making sure that Sadie was the one. She is about 8 months old and came from a shelter somewhere else in the state. She appears to have a very broad gene pool.
So we went all in. We could have taken her home on a trial basis but we felt pretty sure about her. Heather had got us pre-approved earlier in the week so we filled out the forms and paid the fees and now she is ours. She cuddled with me on the drive home.
And after we got home. She seems very confident and is very well behaved. She gets along with the cat. So today there will be a bath, and a walk. This week she’ll visit our vet to get checked out. So far we feel pretty good about our new family member. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddlle. She loves playing and at night she settles down and goes to sleep.

Oh, congratulations! She’s a cutey. Nice Kodi, if not liking her, is okay with her existing in his space. In that last photo she shows she’s chosen you as her person. At least right then. I used to have a Sadie. I didn’t know it was Irish. My late husband named her, he thought it was a “country” sort of name for her.
Congratulations on picking a new family member. I am sure Sadie will settle in and make a great addition to the clan. One of my favorite things is volunteering at a local animal shelter. Shelter dogs love the attention and the opportunity to get out of the kennel and go for a walk. They love the one on one attention and treats…especially treats. Even though we own a pure bred Cocker Spaniel, I have met a dozen shelter dogs, in the past two years, that I would take home with me.
