Pictures of our girls

[SadiesDad]

This is my first try at posting. I've really enjoyed all the stories and advice everyone has shared. Now it's my turn to share, and since I'm new to the dog-owning world, I will share some pics.

Here is Sadie in front of our fireplace. She is still trying to figure out if she likes it or not...

One of Sadie's favorite hobbies, watching out the window. We had no idea this would turn out to be so cool a picture... :D

WOW! What beautiful dogs! And fantastic pictures! Are they related in "real life"? How old?

New to the dog owning world and already on your second dog? I think you will do just fine. You seem to have taken to it like a duck takes to water. You pictures are wonderful, but you can't stop with that. Come on, let's here some more about Sadie and Cinci. How did you come into the adventure of sharing your life with a dog? Where did Sadie and Cinci come from? Hopefully you even have a few NAWTEEDAWG stories to share with us. Every now and then one of the dogs themselves take to the computer to paw out a tale or two, so share the keyboard if one or the other is so inclined. And last of all welcome to Pet Talk, you are among friends.

My dog Duncan LOVES the fireplace. He lies right in front of it and looks like an LL Bean commercial! I see in the backgroundthat you're feeding them IAMS. I just went to the vet last night and he emphasized again the importance of feeding them at LEAST Iams, if not something better. For a first time dog-owner, you're on the right track!!

[SadiesDad]

Thanks for such great and quick replies! Yup, so far 3 people have said we have an Iams commercial in the making. :D
The stories on the girls...Well, my wife and I were married in November, 2000, and we decided that we would start looking for a dog after the honeymoon. My wife loves dalmations, and we found Sadie through a friend. Her mom is a dal, and her dad was assumed to be the registered black lab next door. So we're pretty sure she's a 50/50 mix. We picked her out from a "home litter", and she became our baby girl last December. She has been a wonderful dog, and I couldn't ask for better.
My new job lets me off the last week of the year for holiday, so Sadie and I spent a lot of time working out the pecking order, the rules, and just where the best rubs and scratches need to be. Now, she is a beautiful girl of almost 14 months. She is a sweetheart, and wonderful with everybody. She hardly barks, has never growled, and is a "talker". She makes a series of grunts and coos to get her message across.
Well, this past November we started talking about getting a sister for Sadie, but she is so reserved, we decided that we should look for a younger girl, so that Sadie would be the older, and have more potential to be higher up in the family pack. So, my mother-in-law calls about an article for free lab-mix puppies. We decided we'd look, and that we'd bring Sadie to help with the decision. Sure enough, we ended up bringing Cincy home that day. She was a little nervous when we got her, and Sadie at first did not want to have anything to do with her. I started to think maybe we made too hasty a decision. But Sadie came to understand that she was not being replaced, and that a little playmate could be pretty cool. Now they play almost constantly. Cincy (11 weeks) is still learning the ropes: "potty is outside," Sadie does not always like to be chewed on, sit, down, come, stand, and wait (boy that one is hard at dinnertime!). She is doing well, still learning, but seems to be catching on quickly.

You have beautiful fur-kids! WOW!!! I love those pictures. Cincy looks like such a doll and Sadie is the good "big-sister" I can see ;)

Welcome to the board. As Rachel said, you are DEFINITELY among friends and we would love to see more pics and hear about all the stories there are to share!

Happy Holidays to you and your family :)
