Sweet Sadie is a 1-year-old who came to Minnesota with a group of dogs from Oklahoma. Their owner lovingly relinquished them to RAGOM when he could no longer care for them. It has been my pleasure to foster Sadie. Sadie shows she was loved.

My first impression: Sadie has exceptional ears. They are expressive and a lot of fun to watch!

The road has been full of surprises as I learn more about this princess. She fits into my pack well after the initial low protective growls through the baby gates. It only took a couple days and she felt safe among the group.

Bath time was spa-like. Sadie actually enjoyed the attention and, of course, the towel rubdown. She looked ecstatic!

Yes, it took some days to go outside with all the snow, wind, and cold! And it is difficult for a Southern girl to find the "right spot," but then she discovered "snow cones."

I am impressed with how fast Sadie is catching on to the home routine with Benjamin's tutelage. Sadie jumps into my SUV behind Benjamin, my Golden, and then, curls up for the ride with the gang and enjoys it!

A physical fence would be preferred for Sadie's safety and because she loves to jump and run with other dogs.

Dog Alert: Sadie is officially a dog. My grilled cheese disappeared when I left the room. Surprise! Sadie was looking up at me with a satisfied look.

This little princess has so much to offer: petite, 32 pounds of fun, gentle dog with beautiful cream feathers, and those expressive ears!
