EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!! READ ALL ABOUT IT

S A D D I

SADDI, from the beginning, was so smart. Potty training was so easy and when she was sick and had an accident, her guilt was overwhelming. She's hide in a corner while i cleaned it up, my weak stomach struggling, but i always assured her it was okay.
When she'd start barking, wildly, all i had to say was "inside bark" and she would almost whisper her bark. i never taught her that.
SADDI didn't do 'dog tricks', but she knew when to sit (always like a lady). When we had to go for a walk in the rain (which she hated), upon returning home, SADDI would stand just inside the door as i went to get a towel to dry her off.
During our walks, SADDI never tried to jump on people, though she would greet them with her special howl. i always had to tell people it was just her way of saying hi.
When people stopped to praise how beautiful SADDI was, she'd hide behind my legs, acting like a shy child. But when we'd continue in our walk, there was always an extra bounce to her steps feeling the pride that someone had commented on her beauty.
Though she only showed it to Devon and i, especially me, after she'd eat, SADDI would come over to me, stand on the chair i was sitting in, wait for me to lower the newspaper and then let out a large burp. SADDI would walk away smiling, she always thought that was funny.
