Sadie Mae

Well a year and a half as go we bought our place. Along with the place came a dog. She is a walker coon hound, something I'd never had before and knew little about. Sadie would see people and go running into the middle of the pasture and just watch until you left. Most times just laying down and hiding. It was obvious she was feral or at the very least half feral.
It was November when we moved. Sadie having no winter coat because she is a short haired dog made me worry even though the previous owner said she stays out year around. Well anyone that knows me knows good and we'll this is not acceptable.  So with a little sneakiness, we e managed to get her in the house. She hid in Anjeleena 's closet for days.
After much work on Anje's part Sadie started to adapt.
Flash forward,  here is Sadie now. No longer runs to the field, greets us when we get home, now comes in and out of the house on her own and is a completely different dog. She still has a bit of a trust issue but she will approach people now instead of running off. This has been a year and a half in the making and she has been a great dog. She gets better every day.
We are glad that Sadie came with the house.
