Well, I thought I'd go ahead and provide a 6 month update. Sadie is still with me and is doing great! No issues really- no destroyed furniture, house training was a snap, and her thin fur made a full recovery weeks after switching her to Science Diet Sensitive Skin. She likes to play with my dress socks but that's about it as far as touching my stuff. She's destroyed 2 of them- not bad for 6 months of puppydom. Oh and yeah- 1 pair of flip flops has a bite mark with a radius which matches hers. And I almost forgot- she did blast right through my parents screened pool enclosure in Orlando when visiting at Easter. Whoops.
She's very healthy, I had her spayed shortly after my last post and chipped as well.
She needs a lot of exercise and can get very excited, that's really the only challenge. Otherwise she acts like a tag-along buddy all the time.
I've given her a lot of rules to follow now. She has to follow me out the door only after me and when invited. This is great as there's no dashing out open doors. Same with car rides, she sits and waits until I invite her. She still acts like a puppy most of the time and needs reminders but she's learning to listen pretty well.
So far- it's a challenge for sure and a hell of a big committment. But geez look at that face...
