5 years ago today, a mother was enduring the birth of her offspring. This precious little puppy would soon become a part of my life and bring joy to our family for years to come! 5 years ago, we started our search for a dog that would bring smiles, companionship and loyalty. I found a picture of her online and soon connected with the non-profit agency that had her in foster care. When we went to pick her up, as fate would have it, we learned they had named her Sarah and she was the last of the litter. She was clearanced for a quick adoption! It was a no-brainer for me! I had to have her! The lady told me her birthday was 4/4/08 and the day we picked her up, she was exactly 4 months old (8/4).
5 years ago today, she weighed, at most, only a few pounds. She is now a whopping 64 pounds! And she was born to run...literally! Being part Rhodesian Ridgeback, they are bred to chase lions in Africa. Needless to say, my house is a mini racetrack and the cats get some well deserved exercise every once in awhile! 
5 years ago today, the cutest of them all would soon realize that she could use that to her advantage. Making her way into our hearts, her beauty can't be denied. She is lovely....and she knows it! I'll admit, my baby is spoiled! She gets the best spot couch when we watch T.V. and she gets to sample some of my cooking before anyone else, like chicken or steak! Today, though, she gets a special treat...a Jumbone! YUMMY!
