Aw she is so sweet, it must have been ment to happen that shelby passed on as Sadie was waiting for the love :)
I have lost a few dogs and cats and nothing ever replaces them by the place does not feel 'right' somehow without them.
We sent out yellow lab for to be mated yesterday and the house feels odd without her, the other 4 dogs have not been happy either ! She was not happy being left there so hubby has gone to pick her up and bring her home, cant have her upset !
I bredd labs 1 litter every 2 -3 years and i always keep a pup its lovely to have a 'family' but we also have 2 rescue dogs and they are very special !
Sounds like Sadie has a wonderful new home :D
