New to the Family

There has been a recent addition to our family! Last weekend, we adopted a 3 1/2 year old Golden Retriever from Metro East Animal Shelter in Edwardsville. She was an unclaimed stray. She came with the name Sadie but we changed it to Sammie. She seems to respond well to it. So far, she has been great. She was already potty trained and she is the sweetest dog ever. The only problem we have with her is that she wants to be within 6 inches of you at all times! At least she's a good guard dog. She is already spoiled. She loves to play with her ducky and loooves treats and car rides. Dr. Carr at work says she is a good 10 pounds underweight so she is getting a lot of food right now. Can't wait until everyone can meet her!
