Sadie Bee

Meet Sadie. She is a pure bread Miniature Doberman Pincher, who belongs to my dear sister-in-law, Lauren. And as such, she is the newest member of the family. She was born Oct. 9th, 2011. 

Probably full grown at 6 lbs.

When Lauren graduated from college, her sister promised her a puppy when she was ready. Approaching this past Christmas, Lauren told us she was ready for a little darling.

Already knowing which breed we were looking for, we found  Minpin breeder not far from Raleigh. And during our trip home to NC before Christmas, we picked up a 9 week old cutie!

We met Lauren at work and presented her with her new baby.

Back at Lauren's apartment, Sadie is no stranger to "ruff" housing and playing around. 

But, like every puppy, after a bit of fun play, she was out like a light on her new bed. 

You can't tell from this picture, but she's sleeping under the X-mas tree

Lauren may not like me saying, but she's got some sassy-ness about her. And because of this, I thought it was hilarious when that little dog, after the first time Lauren tried to discipline it, gave Lauren all the kind of sassy protesting she could muster. A fitting match, I think.
