Yesterday I adopted a dog, whose breed is listed as a Bernese Mountain Dog. In all likelihood "Sadie" is a mixed breed but who knows. Her previous owners were elderly and unfortunately both passed away within 6 months of each other. The heirs "surrendered" her to a local organization called SPOT (Saving Pets One at a Time).
Dave and I had talked about getting a dog once we moved to the farm. I notice the SPOT sign outside a local veterinary clinic every day on my way to work. Yesterday I went to their website and found two potential dogs to adopt but by the time I had arrived one of them was already in the process of being adopted and the other was likely going to be adopted by her foster mom. Sadie had not been listed on the website yet so I hadn’t considered her beforehand. Plus she looks sort of like a spaniel and I am not fond of the spaniel types. In my experience, they are not as trainable as the labrador and golden retriever or shepherd types. However, she’s lived peacably with cats, seemed fairly mellow for a young-ish dog, is house and crate trained, came when I called, sat when I encouraged her with a hand on her rump and reportedly does not suffer from separation anxiety.
She seems like a good dog for me. Not hyper, doesn’t need a tremendous amount of play time but prefers companionship. Sadie had an event to attend last night so I don’t get to bring her home for another few hours yet. I’m looking forward to having a dog around the house.
Congratulations on your new family member. As soon as she gets home, I hope you can post photos.
your dog looks very much like a dog that we had for 17 years. Sadly, she passed away this june. she was a mutt too, but looked a lot like your dog. my intuition is that she was mainly a border collie with some spaniel thrown in. she was the best, most intelligent, most loyal, intuitive spiritual dog I’ve ever seen. when i saw the photo of your dog, I was struck by how similar your new dog looks to our Tyler. Enjoy her. If she’s anything like our Tyler, you’ll never have another dog like this.
Hi, Corrina,
Don’t know what happened to my post, but here goes again.
She’s adorable! I love her white eyebrows.
