All You Need is Love... and a Dog, or Two


Yesterday’s blog was all about my adorable chocolate lab named Cooper and today’s is going to be about his equally adorable counterpart, Sadie. 
We adopted Sadie from Florida Lab Rescue from a wonderful women who fostered many labs, Denise(there will be more about her in a future blog).  We had decided that it would be good for Cooper to have a companion.  Although I work from home, I didn’t have a lot of time to play with Cooper and we figured another dog would do him good.  I am not sure if he has actually forgiven us yet.  LOL, Sadie has turned his quiet peaceful world upside down. 
 Sadie is a beautiful yellow lab who we like to compare to Kramer from Seinfeld.  She is crazy and silly and wants nothing more than to please and to be loved.  She is our problem child you could say.  She barks too much, she gets into the trash, she steals things off the coffee tables, all of which Cooper has never done.  She also tries to lick everyone and when I mentioned this as well as the jumping up on people, to an owner of mine who has several labs, his suggestion was to get a squirt bottle with water and squirt her with it when she licks and or jShe always seen to find some trouble. We had an area in the yard partioned off, so sod could grow. she got stuck here and hoped nobody would notice.  umps up. Well we tried that and she loved it. She is getting better with the licking now, but stil tries to do it, if she is super excited.

She hates baths. 

 
 She won't let you forget it's 4:30, time for dinner.
Sadie has brought a lot of laughter and joy into our home and has provided a playmate for Cooper. They do enjoy wrestling and playing tug of war. Cooper however, likes some time to himself the just relax, or get some sun, and if Sadie wants to play, and will not leave him alone. She will grab him by the color and actually drag him until the collar comes off. Some days he just has to hide under my desk. 
 

We have had Sadie for two years now and she is a wonderful addition to our family.
