Driving Miss Sadie: Chugging along

Annapolis retiree Dan McCrady and Sadie, his trusty yellow lab continue to make their way from Annapolis to Maine -- on a bike. 

The two are making the 850-mile trip to raise awareness of the East Coast Greenway trail. 

On her blog, Sadie McCrady's East Coast Greenway Adventure, little Sadie (who's actually 75 pounds and quite a haul for Dan to pedal), reports that despite Dan's slooooow pace, she's having a great time.

Much to Dan's dismay, she frolicked in the mud near Edison, N.J., -- so much so that Dan thought she needed to wash off in the canal. She washed off and then promptly rolled in some more mud. Good times.

In Philadelphia, Sadie says she enjoyed the stop at a school where she got dog-handled by a "zillion" kids.

This weekend Sadie does Manhattan... Hopefully Dan scheduled time for shopping and a show....

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
