We have had our new dog, Sadie, now for a year, so I guess she's not really our new dog anymore. When we first brought her home, she was so anxious and playful and such a puppy still, I was wondering when/if she would ever settle down into more of an adult dog.
Well, no worries on that front now! She has become settled and lazy to the max! She has her little sleeping routine and not much changes it: sleep in till 7, eat, play with the kids till they go to school, nap pretty much until they get home from school (anyone's bed is fair game), play with them outside, eat dinner, nap or play until bedtime and then sleep all night.
She has also claimed our bed to sleep on during the night, much to our dismay. We are still trying to change that, but there's not much we can do when she obediently goes to her mat when we go to bed, only to jump up on the bed once we've fallen asleep.

Sadie still loves chasing the tennis ball and playing with the kids in the backyard and going for runs with Chris, but the times when we are inside and not doing anything, she is one lazy puppy for sure! I'm glad she has learned to settle down a little and feels comfortable enough in our house to rest, because those first few weeks home I wasn't sure she ever would. She's been a great dog so far, despite some of her annoying quirks, she's a good fit for our family!
