Sadie Lou

And then, one Saturday morning four weeks ago, Brenda had some kind of puppy-spasm. The next thing we knew, Sadie had joined us from Four Paws, the local rescue outfit. She had been adopted as a baby, but the fickle humans got tired of her and threw her back. Now about 7-months, she's a bad bet for the standard adoption. But we took her on spec, and now she's an indispensable fixture, and great therapy for her big sister, Lulu. Even Fang the Wonder Cat seems to like her. Her most endearing trick? stealing Ted's towel while he's in the shower......

Lonely Toad
