You heard it here first…(well, actually Facebook heard it first)… dog #3 is coming to live with us on February 12th or 13th. Her name is Sadie, she is a hound mix (definitely some beagle, probably some shepherd) and she is two years old. Gene and I met her and her foster parents last weekend….
Month: January 2011
