We have a new addition to our family. It has taken us a very long time to first consider it, then we browsed around adoption agencies,.. but then when it hit our hearts that we might really be ready, we prayed about it for a long time.

We went through agencies, where they came out and checked the fence. We visited foster dogs. They visited us. Never met the right one. And it's okay to be picky. He or she will be in the family for a long time.

So, one evening I was on Craigslist. Decided to browse through dogs. Came across so many adorable ones. Descriptions were good. And I was even looking for a particular breed.

But when I saw her. Nothing of which the breed I was looking for. And it was funny that many of my friends on fb recommended me to get one of these. I text the foster parent, and then he called. Explained in detail what she is like. And how they don't want to get rid of her at all! They are a young christian couple with 3 very small children moving into an apartment in Houston, and for THIS breed, there is no way they could keep her.

She is 15 weeks old. House broken at 8 weeks. Many photos of her since her birth =) She knows many commands. Sit, lay down, shake, high five, Go to bed, Off, Down, Back, etc.

Her mom is a full blood Great Dane, and her daddy is a full blood BullMastiff. She is going to get HUGE! lol. She is so very protective over us already, which chief and I need. She took to her black soft oversized pillow-bed right away. She has 2 favorite toys which I hope she will never tear up. One is a white stuffed bear from he birth. And the other is a bright pink, kind of large sized monkey that she got from her Fosters. I haven't gotten her much of anything yet, but a wonderful church friend of mine came over today and gave her a welcome home gift that was a long tug toy and a frisbee.

This is Sadie. Our sweet girl. She will be 16 weeks old this coming Saturday.
