No. 369: Sadi

Pam and Sadi and smiles.

Sometimes, people who do nice things will receive nice things. I, in particular, have a soft spot for people who make room in their hearts and busy lives for furry friends.

Five versions of Sadi

Meet Sadi, who got lucky.

Happy happy happy happy happy happy happy girl!

This 39-pound mix lived out a lonely life on a farm where her rescuer, Pam, would get round bales for her horses. Poor Sadi lived her life up to this point outside on an eight-foot chain on the back of the straw barn. But now her owner is in a nursing home, and a friend was feeding this little thing once a day. That was the extent of her contact with humans.

All cleaned up in her new home!

No longer.

Now she’s got the run of a house, and a bunch of dog and cat cousins, and some horse pals, and a favorite stump for watching her new world.  Pam is working on keeping Sadi off of the furniture but she’s gonna lose that battle, sorry.

Furniture? Nah.  Dog bed.

I have conspired with a friend of Pam’s many times on art projects for her, mostly collages of horses, cats and dogs but sometimes humans and landscapes.  He’s always coming up with impossible ideas that I somehow make work.  He says we’re “a good team.” 

Everything has a beginning.

This one started with a comical sketch and grew from there.

Ready to surprise!

After about two weeks of work, I lured Pam to the parking lot at her place of business with some ruse about finding an artifact for her to check out. She had no idea of what was up, and there was a little bit of jumping up and down  — and a loud “EEEeeeeeeeeeeeyeah!”

Sadi is a cute dog.  This was a fun project.  These are good humans.  
We say, "Thank you. "
