Sadie was a one of a kind dog. Half chocolate lab, half bloodhound. A twin to Sable, who we found about 7 months after we got Sadie. She enjoyed chasing lazers and anything that casted a shiny glow to the walls or floors. She even made up her own shinies by nudging the blinds and chasing the light on the floor as their shadows moved back and forth.
Every day, Sadie and Sable would go out in the back yard to chase squirrels. Sadie was extremely loud and impatient about it. You would think the neighbor's would call the cops because every time she went out, the dog sounded like she was being tortured. They never caught the squirrels.
She was the best cuddle buddy. And she would often lay in bed next to me for hours getting petted as I fell asleep and then rolling into me, pushing me over to get more room on the bed. Her soft, saggy furry body was so hugable! The only hint of bloodhound she had was a dark strip that was only noticable in the right light that went down her back, and the fluffy, saggy skin she had on her neck. It was my favorite part of her.
Unfortunately, Sadie met her untimely death on Sunday, February 13, 2011. We were testing the new lead we had installed in the back of the truck by going on a road trip with the girls. On our way home, Sadie decided to bark at a group of cows. We had discovered that she had the ability to put her paws up on the side of the truck. But with a shout she would get down. I didn't have time to shout at her before she slipped and fell over the side right before my eyes. My husband tried as quickly as he could to pull over. But he was barely slowed down when we felt the thump he had run her over. She was gone in minutes.
Sadie was a good girl. One of the best pets I have ever owned. And the first pet that I ever had after I moved out on my own and got married. And my ignorant stupidity killed her. crying
I'm so sorry, Sadie. RIP, my baby girl. Mama loves you.
