So about a year ago we bought a dog, she is a chihuahua. So we wanted a small dog so that's why we picked her. As a puppy she was so small and so cute! Well she did not stay small. She is probably 25+ pounds and she is as tall as a terrier. I seriously don't know what happened. She has the face of a Chihuahua but that's about it. The rest of her is anything but. Most of the time she drives me crazy, she eats EVERYTHING, and i mean everything. The other day she swallowed a whole sock. If we leave her in side we are sure to come home to a mess. It really gets old. She even chewed a corner of our new couch so i had to order a new cushion. ugh i was so mad. She also sheds like crazy. But we love her.
I am mostly writing this post to remind my self how much i really do love her. One morning when Matt and I got up we opened the door and she ran down stairs. Matt was a little bit behind her and she started to freak out. She was barking so loud, and she was growling. I had never seen her do this so I knew something was wrong. Matt runs down stairs and there was someone in our back yard. Once he saw Matt he walked out. So we thought maybe it was one of our neighbors that just opened the wrong gate. (all our houses look the same from the back so it would not be that hard to do.) Anyways so we just didn't think much of it. Then i went over to one of my neighbors and we got talking and she tells me that people have been walking around at night in people's back yards. No one knows who they are or what they are doing. So the cops have been riding bikes in our parking lot and have been patrolling a lot over here since. So now i was kinda freaked out. Our door is always locked and at night i look out the window to make sure there is no one in our back yard.
Then one night Brinlee (my little sister) was staying with us. She was sleeping down stairs in our living room and Sadie stayed down here with her. So we were all asleep and around 1 in the morning Matt and I both wake up about the same time and Sadie is going nuts. We were up stairs with our door shut with a fan going (our house is hot!) and we were woken up by her so it was loud. I ran down stairs because my first thought was oh no Brinlee. I was so panicked that something was happening to her. I get down stairs and Sadie is by the door barking, growling, and her hair is standing up on her back. I was just like oh my gosh. So I look out side and someone runs off and then a car speeds away. It was so weird. It could have been nothing but Sadie does not do that for no reason. Then I notice our dead Bolt is pushed out, and unscrewed. I don't know how that works but It freaked me out.
I am so glad we got a dog even though she is a little crazy. I never thought she would be a good guard dog because she loves people. but i was really proud of her. So if i had to do it all again i would still get Sadie.
