A Puppy Goes Tubing Sammy Thompson Although our puppy, Sadie, is only one year old, she is very adventurous. Earlier this summer
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Check below for the answer and explanation.

Explanation:

a) Sadie, a puppy, likes trying new things. She does things that are well above the expectations of her owners, and she does them successfully.

b) Saddy is an adventurous and active puppy that does things beyond her age. Considering the fact she is never scared to do anything, it is sure she found it fun to jump on the tube with the narrator and was not injured in anyway whatsoever.

This is evident from the words of the narrator, "Earlier this summer, we had thought she would be too scared to get on the boat, but the very first time we lowered it, she popped in without hesitating a second. We were surprised to learn that she loved the boat"

To prove further, the narrator also said, "This afternoon, though, Sadie proved once again that she has a heart for new experiences". The word "prove" indicates that the Sadie was at the end able to go tubing unharmed.
