I lie belly-up
In the sunshine, happier than You
will ever be.
Today I sniffed
Many dog behinds -- I celebrate
By kissing your face.
I sound the alarm!
Paper boy -- come to kill us all
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
I sound the alarm!
Garbage man -- come to kill us all
Look! Look! Look! Look! Look!
How do I love thee?
The ways are as numberless as
My hairs on the rug.
My human is home!
I am so ecstatic I have
Made a puddle.
.I Hate my choke
chain
Look, world, they strangle me!
Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack! Ack!
Sleeping here, my
chin
On your foot -- no greater bliss -- well,
Maybe catching rats
Look in my eyes and
Deny it. No human could
Love
you as much as I do.
The cat is not all
bad --
She fills the litter box
With tootsie rolls.
Dig under the
fence--why?
Because it is there. Because it's
There. Because it's there.
I am your best
friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.

Jaxon & one of his daughters, Emmy

What are you doing RIGHT NOW? Take your dog out for a walk
or a game of ball!

Sadie came to me when
Tucker
was 9 months old. (Pictures above show
Tucker at about 1 ½.) He’s now 16 years old so he has never known life
without her. She was the first dog I had as an adult and I figured that,
especially because she was a Border Collie, I’d better get her into a training
class right away! The rest is history. It’s because of her that I became
involved with dogs, training, our business, etc. I owe all I’ve learned and
experienced in that regard to her. We learned everything together as partners
and that’s what made it all so much fun. She was always up for a game of any
kind; smart as could be and a smarty-pants, too.
She was talented in many ways. We competed in obedience and
agility and she was multi-titled in those areas. We also dabbled in herding and
tracking for a while. Before moving to
Mass. she
was a therapy dog at a brain trauma center and lead-dog on a drill team. She
loved to do tricks and I swear that she was the one who taught Ruby how to roll
over! But her best talents were being sweet and patient and persistent, being
Tuck’s best buddy all through his childhood, being my best friend and partner
through all kinds of crazy things in my life……
She was my sweet, sweet, Sadie. I loved her with all my heart.
Think a happy thought of her tonight. Give your own buddies an
extra hug.

Dearest Sadie - It's your job
now to watch over Mimi and be her companion. Stay with her always.
Love, Mom
