Well, it was 1 year ago today that I went down to Augusta and brought home Sadie and Spartacus.

Sadie and her partner Spartacus lived in Augusta, Maine for a very long time. Sadly, their owner recently passed away, leaving Sadie and Spartacus without a home. They ended up in the Kennebec Valley Humane Society, the same place that our Auggie was rescued from just 9 months earlier.

Sadie dealt with her new situation well, but Spartacus did not. He was prety freaked out for a while, but eventually he calmed down. Both Sadie and Sparty were overweight and Sadie had some skin issues and some matting in her fur. But I was soon headed to Augusta to pick up the pair to prepare them for adoption through DRNA.

Well, After just a short time in our house, my wife declared that these guys were already home and that we are not adopting them out.

Sadie was extremely overweight a year ago, weighing in at about 18 pounds. She is down to 12 pounds now, mostly fluffy fur!

Here are some photos of the pair.

What two LOVEBUGS!!  Thank you for rescuing these precious ones.  You've really got yourself a weinerdog ranch, don't you?  My dream is to rescue or at least, foster.  Working full time prohibits that right now, but wait until retirement!!  Wooohooo!  Let the Weiners come!!

Handle every "Situation" like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
tinkle on it and walk away.
