Sadie's Survival

I've always considered myself a cat person, but I've always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I had been yearning for a little puppy for the past few weeks, so a few days ago, I adopted a chihuahua- rottweiler mix puppy. She's 5 weeks old and I named her Sadie. She and her 5 siblings were dropped off at our local shelter and they didn't have a home. This is a typical "dog choosing the owner" scenario. I walked up to the cage where all of the puppies were and I put my hand in there and she came up to me and licked my hand. Immediately I knew. I was very quick in deciding which pup because I knew she wanted me. She has such a fun personality and she's very playful but also loves to cuddle. I'm proud to have been able to give her a "forever home".
