My father was retired, but the dog had business.
by business he means poop
-
They loved this dog in proportion to her size,
great dane's are huge dogs -
He was holding her paw when she died, and he spent the next several weeks asking us how many dogs could say they'd lived in a redwood house.Our mother, in turn, frequently paused beside my father's tattered, urine-stained golf bag and relived memories of her own.
he wanted a dog like Madchen Two and she wanted another cat
-
When Mädchen Two developed splenic tumors, our father dropped everything and ran to her side.
this is really surprising especially when he was so judgmental to her when she was younger

"I'm going to have Sadie put to sleep," she said. "It's for her own good, and I don't want to hear a word about it from any of you. This is hard enough as it is."
everything up to this point has been a backstory. the author is trying to explain how he and his family got to the first sentence

whom the same Cindy thoughtfully christened Mädchen Two. This tag-team progression was disconcerting, especially for the new dog, who was expected to possess both the knowledge and the personality of her predecessor.
why name the new dog after an old dog that died in something unexpected? this family is just reminding themselves of their recent loss and setting up the dog for misery since she is being held to the standards of the previous dog. all a dog wants to do is to please its owner but this family is making it very hard for her to do because she is being compared to another dog.

Vaterland
i think this is supposed to mean Germany, considering that "Vader" in German is "father"
-
The oven trick was performed on half a dozen peakish hamsters but failed to work on my first guinea pig, who died after eating a couple of cigarettes and an entire pack of matches.
but did they work for the half dozen "peakish animals"?
-
The entire animal kingdom was beyond her scope; apparently, she could resurrect only the cute dead.
i think bringing that puppy back to life was a pure miracle, but expecting it to happen again isn't valid
-
what my mother referred to as the "tail end of the Lassie years,"
the end of the sixties was the end of the show "Lassie" -
SADIE
