Sadie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Sadie
Age: Fifties weeks old
Gender: Female Breed: Great Pyrenees
Home: Madison, Alabama, USA
 
   We had recently lost our beloved thirteen-year-old female chow mix and we were all very lonely, especially Buster. Buster is a three-year-old mixed breed that we rescued in Texas. I had done a lot of research on the Great Pyrenees and a friend of mine gave me a breeder's name close by. I contacted her and she had a female ready to place. My boyfriend was not interested. He said he did not like their pointed noses (I have no idea what he had the breed confused with). I convinced him to go with me to "take a look." We arrived and he immediately picked up Sadie, held her close, and started to kiss the top of her head. I knew we were in trouble. He finally asked me if I would like to hold her for a minute! Well, the rest is history.

    She is a joy, and all puppy! She was eight weeks in photo, though she is now fifteen weeks old. Sadie is intelligent, comical, nurturing, and loves to eat! She has gained close to 20 pounds in the six weeks we have owned her. I expect her to weigh in over 90 pounds. Buster loves her and is her protector, although there are times I'm sure that he just wishes for a break from the action that a fifteen-week-old puppy provides.
