Sadie & Abbi

This past Saturday we met Sadie's identical twin sister, Abbi! Like any other Saturday, Sadie and I spent our afternoon running errands and finding new trails to walk. We typically end our day at the local dog park, where Sadie has met a few friends including an adorable Boston Terrier. The dog park has become Sadie's favorite spot! She can run without limits through the open area, and stop for water at any time!

Sometimes it is incredibly difficult being a single owner to a boxer puppy, as they are known for their abundance of energy. It also makes raising Sadie a bit more challenging living in a 720sqft apartment without any real room to run, or a fenced area outside.

This week we had the pleasure of meeting miss Abbi! Abbi's owner and I were amazed at how similar they look and act. Sadie and Abbi took off running through the park like they've known each other their whole (short) lives. Abbi was born in September of 2012, making her about six months older than Sadie, and ruling out the possibility of them actually being sisters!

Good Morning, Sadiekins.

Now, I know that most dogs think they are human, but miss Sadie really has no idea she is a pup. I wake up every morning to this snuggly wet nose kissing my left cheek. Most of the night, Sadie sleeps on top of the comforter, with a favorite toy or two. But somewhere in the middle of the night this sweet baby gets cold and paws to go under the blankets. I've gotten so used to this, I don't even wake up to lift them for her. 

Mornings are especially routined. Around 5:00am, Sadiekins crawls from under the blanket to place her head, like a person, on the pillow next to mine. If this doesn't wake me up, my silly girl will ever-so-slightly nibble my ear until I speak of her favorite words, "okay, lets go for a walk".
