Judy and Chuck T. from Eureka, Montana, came out to the ranch yesterday to meet Oliver and introduce him to Sadie Mae, their Dachshund. Judy is holding Oliver and Chuck is holding Sadie Mae in the photo. Judy had earlier emailed to say, "My husband and I have a long-haired Dachshund looking for a friend. Sadie Mae is 5 years-old and recently lost her playmate, Sylas Maynard. It's been 4 months since Sylas's passing and Sadie would welcome a new friend easily."
Judy had said Sadie Mae had been playing in the meantime with a neighbor's young Lab, "but in all his energy, being just over a year old, he tends to step on her accidentally. But, everyday she goes out on the deck and barks until he hears her, and then he comes tromping across the field until soon here they both are, waiting at the door to come in to play. It's so cute, but we would really like to see her happy all day and night, instead of moping around the house."
After visiting with Oliver for quite a while yesterday afternoon, Sadie Mae gave the nod and the deal was sealed. Then the foursome headed back to Eureka, where Oliver gets to start his new life with a girlfriend to call his own and a new Mom and Dad — just in time for Christmas!
Thank you, Judy and Chuck … and Sadie Mae!

Oliver's friend Twist, who was adopted this past summer, is doing great and enjoying life with his new family, too.
