Its nice to see adoptions going to good homes
I'm thinking that if maybe you have not tried this yet
try sitting on your legs and keep your arms in close to your body
to "look" less intimidating. Entice Sadie by speaking softly and offer lots of
yummy treats.
I know that my neighbor had the same problem before and this is the method he used with great success. Please keep us updated on the success or lack of we'll keep rooting for ya!
