I'm Sadie, a ten-yo
girl weighing about 5 lbs. I'm the oldest, and the
most active one in this house! I run out in the
yard, and when my foster mom calls me, I run as
fast as I can right up the steps to the deck, and
across the deck, and I shoot right through the door!
I don't play with toys and things, I just run fast
and am very alert. I'm your typical older girl --
well house broken, very well behaved, grateful for
whatever I get, and I get along with everybody here.
Now -- here's my secret: I have a grade 5 heart
murmur and I'm on enalapril once a day. Don't click
on to the next dog -- hear me out! I
managed to get spayed and have major dental work
done when I came here, even with that heart murmut.
I have about 14 tiny mammary tumors, too, and we had
two of them biopsied and they were benign, so the
vet didn't feel it was in my best interests to
remove all those. That would have been *really*
major surgery! They aren't growing, either --
they're just the exact same size that they were when
I got here.
I'd sure like someone
who loves only me for my remaining years, but if
not, I could use some Best Friends. I already have
one who sent me a Save-A-Chi donation and I love her
forever!
I do have one bad
habit, though. My former owner seems to have thought
it was cute for me to bite people, so when strangers
come in our house, I make nice with them and wag my
tail and hop around for attention, and as soon as
they turn their backs on me, I turn into a
heat-seeking missile and ibte them right in the
foot/anke. Hard. Then I wag my tail and jump around
some more for more attention, but for some reason, I
don't get the kind of attention I wanted. Sigh. You
never know what to expect with *people.* Give me
another dog anytime.
I like to sleep with
the other dogs but they aren't crazy about me
sleeping with them, so I wait until they're sound
asleep and then I sneak quietly up into their dog
beds. You should see their surprise when they wake
up and there I am! Lots of growling and
snarling! Most of these guys are grumpy old things.
You know what would be
the most fun in the world? If I could go places with
a new mom! As long as no one stuck their hands in my
face, I'd be just fine, and I'd love to see new
things and keep my person company.
Who knows how much
time any of us have left? Maybe I have five years --
you never know. Maybe not. but in any case, every
minute I spend with you will be a minute full of
love. I can guarantee that.
No large dogs, needs a
sweet little Chi companion, fenced yard, no
children. Experienced owner; someone who knows
Chihuahuas and is accustomed to their unique little
personalities, especially the older ones.
