Our Sadie Girl has been adopted

Not sure how many of you have kept up with us and our dog drama, but its been a lot for us over the past year. And for months and months we have been praying about what to do with our Sadie --Shea's baby girl mastiff. Life at out house had just gotten very overwhelming with her in it--and her health issues had really drained us ( and many others!) financially many times. So about two month ago we really started seeking out some one to adopt her. We went through so many avenues and kept running into dead ends. I also was just not trusting Shea or God that she would end up in the right spot so I was being difficult about the whole thing--eventually I released it all to Shea to make the decision on what needed to happen and of course he found a great person to help us. Long story short--Sadie was taken through an adoption agency to some local adoption showings this weekend--and in Gods awesome way, she was adopted in less than 2 hours.

Even more incredible is we got to meet the family today as they came by to get some of her stuff--and not only were they really neat, and had been looking high and lo for a mastiff like Sadie, but they also go to our church and live about 25 minutes from us! We all said it was totally a God thing that they found her and that we had her in their path at the right time. They have 6 kids-all little girls. The dad was desperately wanting a mastiff because he had had one years ago and wanted a big dog he could play with...and now he has our Sadie to play with. They brought her by so I could say good by to her--and she jumped out of their truck and ran to us so fast and licked us. But when they were ready to leave--she jumped back into their truck like she had always belonged there...it was a bittersweet moment for us.

We feel so peaceful about this knowing they wanted her so bad--and they know that she has some issues and are more than willing to work in making those better--we could not have asked for any thing more.

So --little Hunter is our only puppy dog left. He seems a little quiet tonight so we are going to try to love on him extra the next couple days. I think after a while he will be ok--especially if he gets to start going to the park with us now, getting some extra treats and be loved on more. With this change also means that Austin gets free range of the whole house and so far he has LOVED that! He walked from Shea to me across the living room floor Saturday night--it was great!
