March ~ Celebrating Sadie




M A R C H



March is always a time to celebrate

here at Hyacinths for the Soul.





It's the month that our sweet

 Sadie Mercedes came to live with us.





When we adopted her on March 10, 2012,

our life was immediately filled with a new joy.

Here we are getting to know each other that first week.





She arrived a shy little girl,

having been left at the Austin Humane Society

by previous owners who for some reason 

could no longer care for her, her brother, and her parents.





Luckily for us, Wee Rescue

rescued her from the Austin Humane Society

and fostered her until we showed up at a 

Saturday Wee Rescue Meet and Greet.




It was love at first sight!




Sadie loves her toys and brings them

to us when she wants to play.  

She likes us to throw them for her to retrieve.

Then she brings them back and wants to play tug of war.





A girl after my heart, her favorite toy 

is her Courtly Check bone.





Sometimes she gets a bit mischievous and pulls

things out of the closet wanting to play.  

I'm always finding socks scattered about upstairs.




Sadie has the sweetest disposition, loves to snuggle,

and is always right where we are.




And this girl loves to eat!





Thanks, Wee Rescue!

Our hearts are full of gratitude 

as we celebrate five years!





I'm pleased to announce the winner of the 

MacKenzie-Childs Green Flower Market Vase is
  Bonnie @ Living With Thanksgiving.


Congratulations!

Bonnie, please send me an email so we can get

this pretty vase to you for those spring bouquets. 



Look for the Traveling Totes to return June 1st

with new adventures and a new give away.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

  11. I can't believe the three of you have been together for five years now, it seems like only yesterday that you introduced her to us. What a sweetie she is all dolled up in her Courtly Check jacket and eating dinner from a CC bowl.

  31. Sadie reminds me so much of our dear Miss Molly, whom we lost very unexpectedly only a few days ago. She looks like a real sweetie and I just know she'll bring you as much love and enjoyment as you'll bring to her.

  34. Oh My Goodness I am so in love with your little dog. My neighbors two doors down just adopted a small poodle mix that had been surrendered to the Animal Care Society. They call him Mister ;)

  35. Sadie is such a cutie! It's obvious that she was meant to come to your home. What other dog would love a Mackenzie childs checkered bone? :) Thanks for sharing with SYC.

  42. Sarah,
    She is beautiful!! Since Joe is now retired, we are thinking of getting another dog. It has been several years since we lost our Savanna but I think we may be ready to open up our hearts again.If we do decide to get another dog, we will work with a local No Kill Shelter that has such great reputation. Thanks so much for stopping by!!
    Hugs,
    Deb

  44. Dearest Sarah,
    Congratulations on your five years with sweet Sadie Mercedes!
    She is one lucky girl for having found her forever home.
    On St. Patrick's Day we celebrated our eldest cat boy Barty's 13th birthday. The eldest pet I've ever had!
    He had some problems with over grooming but with a steroid injection he's doing well.
    Always worrying when your little ones are not well... We never want them to suffer!
    Sending you hugs for a happy weekend and we're so glad we got over that final frost this week.
    Mariette
