She didn't make eye contact and I named her Hopper when I found her on the dining room table. She was far and away the best dog I've ever owned and I miss her terribly still (she's been gone 12 years). <br /><br />Be gentle and patient with Sadie. Take her out of your house in a few days -- maybe in the car -- and then bring her back. Coming HOME is somehow important to rescue dogs. <br /><br />Oh, and watch The Dog Whisperer -- it really helps us stay in the moment with the dogs so that we don't make their lives worse by not leading them and giving them a peaceful life. I love that show! <br /><br />Enjoy!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776482696203224923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-85072670903658885432012-07-31T21:47:34.694-05:002012-07-31T21:47:34.694-05:00She looks like a very kind natured dog.

She was such a wonderful dog.

I have wondered about you not having a dog in your life...and I always loved your dog stories.<br />And, to make a happy life for a sweet dog--that's the best part of all. You are wise and know that time together will heal Sadie's bad memories of her former life. Bit by bit she will unstick from her clinginess to you.<br />Oh, and I so remember the sleeping with the dog through the first several nights. I had to do that with Ziva--who whined pitifully when she wasn't with us. And my sleeping next to her just made our bond stronger.<br />Looking forward to more Sadie stories.KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.com
