Title: 1 Year With Sadie and Spartacus
Post by: Paul Coover on June 05, 2008, 06:59:00 PM
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.
