Sharing Sadie's Story

Sadie is featured on another website! Lovely Paige of Dexter Diary has started up a new blog called CorgiPals. Go check it out! She calls it "a blog dedicated to giving a voice to Corgis in need." So how could you not want to take a look? Besides featuring wonderful charities and fundraisers, she is also featuring stories about rescued corgis. We were lucky enough to be the first feature! I know most of you know our story already, but please take a trip over to the site if you get a chance and read our post.

Other than that, I have a lot of things to post about...I just haven't had the time! I hope to post more soon :) We hope you are all doing well, and we're so happy that you are here to follow our journey!

Who rescued whom?

I’ve been having a rough time lately. Just typical life stuff and stress. When I was talking about it with a friend yesterday, I mentioned how all I want to do is snuggle with Sadie. This is usually my go-to de-stressor. Corgis make excellent cuddlers, and Sadie in particular loves to snuggle. The night after I adopted Sadie, I called my friend crying. I was worried I was adopting a dog for the wrong reasons. I was scared I couldn’t do it. That I’d be a bad dog momma. At the time, I had just moved into my own apartment, so it was just me and Sadie. I hoped a dog would keep me company. I was worried I thought a dog might fix all my problems, but instead just give me new ones to worry about. My friend reassured me, and luckily I got over those fears. Sadie became my best friend.

Sadie was the first pet that is truly mine. She depends on me. She loves me. I can see it in her eyes. That may sound insane, but it’s true. Like when we’re at the dog park, and she scans the crowd for me. She looks scared if she can’t find me at first, but when she finally sees me, her eyes light up, and she comes bounding over to me. It makes me smile every time.

Every time I come home, she shakes her little nub like crazy and jumps up and down. What human will ever be this excited to see me??? And when we get into bed at night, she wants to be as close to me as possible. I cannot imagine what my life would be like without her. I probably would have been a lot worse off in Boston if I didn’t adopt her. She is the best little girl in the world, and I love her with my entire heart.

Yes, Sadie is a rescue dog, but truth be told, she’s the one that rescued me. And I will be eternally grateful for that. I didn’t post anything about Valentine’s Day. I am not a fan of the holiday. But I wanted to post this to express my love for Sadie. She will always be my Valentine, and she will always be my little girl. Thank you, Sadie, for rescuing me.

The Verdict's In...

Well, after a 3 hour flight delay, I finally made it home to NY! I hate flying, so being stuck at an airport for 4 hours isn't my idea of a good time lol. But I made it home, and I couldn't wait to see my little Sadie. When I got home, she came running out into the garage to greet me, and she was definitely excited, bouncing up and down! Coming home to that is the best feeling in the world. It was so wonderful to cuddle with her again, and just be NEAR her. I missed her tons. I'm glad she was happy with my aunt and uncle though. She likes it there, and even if she is sad I leave her, she goes about her routine as if I were there.

She was of course excited for the homemade treats I bought her. She was less excited for the new collar, but it looks great on her! I will have to take some pictures soon :) Once I upload the pictures from Florida, I will post a few. I didn't take too many, as the weather wasn't as nice as I'd hoped. (Of course the weather was gorgeous the day I left though!) It was a good mini vacation though. But it always goes so quickly!

Also, just had to post this because it cracked me up!
