I love everything about her.
I love her scrawny, wiggly little body.
I love the way she sighs when she’s frustrated.
I love the way she stands at the top of our bed at nighttime, waiting for us to lift up the sheets so she can dive underneath.
I love her for teaching me to appreciate the little things in life more often.
I love that simply saying the word “walk” brings the most intense joy to her face.
I love that she smiles.
I love how cuddling her makes all of my worries and sadness fade away.
I love that she actually knows how to hug.
I love watching her relationship with Ryan.
I love how she can barely contain her excitement when I walk through the door… even if I’ve only been gone for five minutes.
I love how she gets “huffy” and pseudo-barks when she sees something that upsets her.
I love her nibble kisses.
I love how she immediately acts like she’s dying if you start babying her because you think she hurt herself.
I love that there is not an evil bone in her body… unless a stick is involved.
I love that she made it nearly impossible for me and Ryan to take a quality engagement photo of ourselves with the self timer in our backyard.
I love that she has no concept of personal space.
I love that whenever Ryan and I talk about getting rid of some of Sadie’s toys we never do because she honestly plays with all of them.
I love when her jowls get caught in her teeth.
I love that her yawns are the most dramatic thing in the entire world.
I love that she can look like an old man one second…
And an adorable little puppy the next…
I love that she loves peanut butter just as much as I do.
And I even love her ass grass.
Questions of the Morning
- What do you love most about your pet?
- No pet? What is one thing you love about animals?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
my akita, Brownie “huffs” we call it “snarfing” she’s still so animated when she sees us and she’s 9. 🙂
This is adorable and nearly made me cry in the office! I can’t wait until I have a dog as lovable and wonderful as Sadie.
What a precious post!! I’m going to have to tweet you a picture in regards to the ‘I love when her jowls get caught in her teeth’ comment- it never fails to make me laugh!
My favorite thing about Koda is at night when we’re in bed (she sleeps in her bed next to our’s), I’ll breathe in a deep breath and release it, then David will, then Koda will do loud breath in and sigh out, too and it just melts my heart!
it CRACKS me up when that happens! and sadie totally does that sighing thing, too! it is hilarious!
I love when my dog gets so excited when we come home that she starts “smiling.” It’s actually more of a snarl so we call her Snarls Barkley when she is that happy.
My golden mix does that too!! When he first started doing it we laughed and thought it looked so snarly, but then one day I realized he was totally smiling. Now it’s one of my favorite things in the whole wide world. So cute. Loving hearing about another doggy who does that 🙂
And Hi, Julie! Miss you in the office!
Awww such a cute post!! (Mushy gushy, like you said on Twitter, but still cute!) You make me wish I had a dog!
haha – i warned you!
Sadie is PRECIOUS! I am seriously considering getting a vizsla now! But for now, I have an adorable little cavalier king charles spaniel..she’s not as sporty as sadie (obviously) but she’s always there to snuggle and enjoy a lazy afternoon 🙂
Awe, Sadie is the cutest thing ever!!! I love the old man one second, ‘lil pup the next. And the ass grass. And that she plays with all of her toys, gives hugs and invades all personal space because my boxer puppy Winston does those same things!!
The thing I love most though is that he really does have a good heart and he doesn’t want to hurt anyone – just wants to please. He’s a lover! We should all try and act more like dogs and we’d probably all get along better! 🙂
100 percent agree! have you seen that print that says “i hope one day that i’m half the man my dog thinks i am” – i love it!
I love this!!!!!
This post is so stinkin’ cute!! I love it when our dog gets so excited that she runs laps just as fast as her little body can take her!!
Love this post! I love when my vizsla gives nibble kisses when he’s excited to see me!! And I totally second the jowls getting caught–soo freakin cute 🙂
YES!!! I totally forgot to include nibble kisses! i’m editing the post now. 🙂
Honestly, thank you! You brightened my night 🙂 im lying in bed in perth western australia and finally after reading your post im no longer crying. Its been a tough day but thanks to you and your gorgeous puppy im smiling xo
i’m so glad sadie could bring some sunshine into your day. i hope your day continues to look up, bronte!
This is the CUTEST post ever! I am obsessed with my puppy as well. I love everything about him too! Literally, in love. He kills me just looking at him 😀
This is just adorable!! I never had a dog growing up, so I really had no idea how much my little guy would change my life. I couldn’t imagine life without him now.
This is the cutest post in the entire blog history, bar none. Sadie is an angel & I love her!
I love how my dog Miley understands social situations and emotions. She is the best hugger & she’s always excited to see you.
And then I have Layla, who is a 75-pound 7 month old puppy who enjoys EVERYTHING. I love how she bounces around with her head up in the air like she’s a proud little lion.
I love my dogs like family, and they’re not “just dogs”. There are so many things I could list that I love about them.
But the best thing I love about dogs? Kissing them on their head. A zillion times.
I wish Sadie could read this- so moving!
This is such a sweet post! I love so many things about my dogs that it’s hard to pick just one. My favorite is probably their excitement when I get home (even after 5 minutes like you said). Our boxer wags her entire body until we love on her…and even then she has trouble stopping the wiggle. Makes even the worst day better. 🙂
Aww, this made me tear up a little bit. Hales got hurt over the weekend and it’s killing me to watch her in pain (even though the vet says she’ll be okay.) I love how she gets so excited over walks that her whole body shakes…how she wags her tail so hard that she hits herself in the face and doesn’t even flinch…and definitely that when we cuddle, if she doesn’t think she’s close enough, she’ll get up and re-plop her big ol’ body down on top of me (literally)
i remember when sadie got spayed. it was so painful to watch her in pain. she was such a little sweetie and would try to stand up and wag her tail when we came home even with all of her stitches! hoping hales continues to heal quickly!
Too cute! So sorry to hear about your scare this morning but sometimes it takes a moment like that to truly appreciate what we have. 🙂
What breed is Sadie and how did you come up with her name?
she is a vizsla! i honestly can’t remember how we came up with her name. i think i heard it in a movie and suggested it to ryan and it was one of the only names we agreed on. initially i liked “maggie.” 🙂
This is such a great post. There’s nothing like a frightening moment to further the love you have. I love everything about Sadie too and I haven’t even met her!!
Such a cute post!
My favorite things about my dogs (we have 2 labs)… Molly: I love her sweet and innocent look; the way she follows me around EVERYWHERE; how she presses her head on my leg so I’ll pet her.
Ryan: I love how he tilts his head and perks up his ears when I’m talking to him; how he just lies on his back with his paws in the air (SO FUNNY); his snoring.
There’s so much more about the two of them that I love, but that’s a start. 🙂
I love that my cat makes me laugh, even when I’m in a bad mood! She’s so cute and ridiculous 🙂
so cute girl 🙂 i love everything about my cat but i know my fiance would love a dog and probably do a post just like this 🙂 xo
Haha I love this! It’s amazing how much dogs add to our lives. I have a 4lb Yorkie and I love how excited she gets when my boyfriend and I wake up in the morning and how she really is a part of our little family.
My favorite thing that she does-we leave food in her bowl in the morning but she waits until we start eating dinner to eat hers too. It’s like family dinner time!
And when she goes NUTS crawling under the covers at night and then sleeps spooning me (she’s the little spoon of course) all night.
that is too adorable!
I could copy and paste all of this for our dog. Ginger is seriously the love of my life. haha
PS- I swear our dogs are the same person. I was watching a show about Vizslas the other day and when I found out they bred Weimaraners + Pointers to create the breed it all started to make sense b/c everything you post about Sadie is seriously EXACTLY the same stuff Ginger (our weimaraner) does! It’s crazy how those funny little personality traits stay through breeding.
Such a sweet post! I don’t have a pet now, but I love dogs so much. I used to love how my last dog, Swirly (named because she reminded me of ice cream with swirls in it), used to pretend to be mad at me, but would peek at me sideways to see if I was paying attention to her. I also loved how she was always willing to be carried around and treated like my baby. I miss her.
awwwww. i love this comment. swirly sounds truly unforgettable.
Our Vizsla, Lucy has sooo many of the same traits! She is honestly the wiggly-est dog ever! So happy to hear Sadie is home safe! : ) : )
That was such a sweet post! I really enjoyed looking at the photos and reading the captions that went with them. It’s amazing how much pets change your life and suddenly you don’t know how you ever lived without them.
I can only imagine how scared you were this morning and am really happy that things turned out good. My SO likes to take our dogs (2 crazy labs!) out with out their leashes and I am going to tell him about this in hopes that he will finally listen to me and stop taking them out without their leashes!
OMG. I am standing at my desk in front of a room full of high school students w/ tears in my eyes!!!!! (I totally faked a sneeze and I think they believed it). I want to go home RIGHT NOW and squeeze my 2 puppies and 1 cat. I love that my dogs go crazy when they see me dress in workout gear b/c they know they are about to go for a run. I love that my cat climbs on top of clothes fresh from the dryer as I am trying to fold the items. Honestly, most days those things drive me crazy, but today I will be so thankful for them….
HAHAHA i just looked up what ass grass was, i laughed sooo hard ! i can’t believe you got a picture in focus, i would have been laughing to hard to take one 🙂
oh i know! we were DYING.
What a sweet post!!
I love how my dog Louie gets excited to see me, even if I just go away to get the mail. I also love how he knows every morning when my husband leaves for work he gets to cuddle with me on the bed. Right when the front door shuts he is right in my face (shhh my husband doesn’t like him to get on our bed!) I love his down and upward facing dog poses and how is always by my side!
This is so beautiful, Julie! Dogs are so special, and having one of your own just heightens your love and appreciation for their antics! Seeing you and Ryan share that bond with Sadie makes me so excited to one day get a dog with my boyfriend!
Stay lovely,
Heather
I have four pets, and I love them all for different reasons, but one specific reason is that Hobbes is the best cuddlier in the entire world. 🙂
Hehehe. I LOVE the Sadie photo montage 😀
When our dog, Alaska, was diagnosed with cancer last year I made a concerted effort to pull all our photos togther in one place and then take lots more. Now she has defied the odds (so far) and has almost 500 photos in her very own Flickr set, lol. Good and bad, I defintely love everything about her. The more you know them and their personalities, the easier it is to love!
aw! she may give sadie a run for the money for the most photographed dog ever!
My lab knows when it’s Sunday. He lays on the couch all day and relaxes. Not kidding, he barely gets up to go outside. He lays on his back showing his business to the world and he doesn’t care. It cracks me up! He LOVES to give kisses. You can walk past him and he’ll lick your leg. I love my Coopie kisses! I also love all of the white hairs on chin and upper lip. He looks like he has facial hair.
I love this post! I recently found your blog, and have become obsessed with Sadie pictures! She, next to my dog of course, (who has recently passed) *cry*, is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen! Your post made me teary, as I am still struggling with the loss of my beloved girl. It’s so hard living life w/out my special friend, but I love reading about Sadie’s adventures. ( and you two as well of course.) ;0 Keep ‘em coming! She brings many smiles.
i’m so sorry for your recent loss. sadie is too and sends EXTRA sloppy kisses your way!
I love how smart Cole is. I love that he thinks he’s a human and uses his paws as he would hands. I love when he uses his paws to grab my hand to hold me close to him when I go to get up in the mornings. I love when he wakes up he puts his paws over his eyes and rubs them (CUTEST. THING. EVER.) I love how is butt wiggles when I walk into the door. I love that he knows when to curl up next to me when I’m having a bad day. I love when he thinks he’s a snake and lays on teh ground, and then pushes himself around the room (while laying down) with his back paw like he’s swimming. I love his reaction when I say CARRIDE!? I just love him 🙂
Best post ever!!!!!!
oh you HAVE to get a picture of the paws over his eyes thing!!
Aww, this almost brought me to tears! I love this post! I have a shitzu poodle mix that is my LIFE right now and I love him so much it hurts. It’s amazing how much we can love our animals, and it’s even more amazing that we can tell they love us back. Dogs are so special to me 🙂
Aw this is so sweet. I really want a dog and this just made my puppy fever that much worse.
Love, Love this post. I just gave Deke, Valentine,our dogs, Kadie, Sadie and JoJo our cats kisses. Everyday they bring joy to my life. :)xxoo
yay for puppy and kitty kisses!
Love the post!
How can you choose just one thing to love about your pet?? I’ll pick just one to share even though there are so many. I love how excited Bo gets to greet everyone when they first come home for the day. No matter what happened before you got home it doesn’t matter once you’re greeted by him.
I loved this post – it made me so happy! I want a dog so badly… but I do LOVE my two little kitties!
Aw this is so sweet! Thank you for sharing!
So glad Sadie is ok! I love the way our golden retriever thinks she’s a lap dog, especially when it’s lightning outside & she’s scared!
My dog Leon is always happy to see me and always wants to be with me. He even lays with me when I’m sick in the bathroom. TMI but its true!
Glad you found Sadie 🙂
Julie, that was the sweetest thing I’ve read in a while. It made me so happy just listening to how much you love her and how much she clearly loves you and Ryan. I don’t have a pet (my work hours are long and unpredictable, so I don’t think it’s fair), but I love animals SO much and this made my day. Thanks for sharing this 🙂
thank you so much, nicole. and i admire you for knowing that your life isn’t suitable for an animal right now. that just means you’ll be a GREAT pet owner one day when the time is right.
I love this post Julie! And I love Miss Sadie too. It is amazing how much pets can change our lives. I did a post on Friday about my Frenchie being more than a pet but a friend, a listener and part of our family. I feel bad for people who dont love their pets like I do!

Greatest post ever!
We have two dogs. So I’ll have to do one for each.
Brandy:
I love that she has to be touching me when lying on the couch or in bed. I love that she gives real hugs as much as she possibly can. I love that like to curl up by my side in the middle of the night. I love that she is stubborn.
Rascal:
I love that he wakes up with his tail wagging. I love that he chews on our fingers. I love that he thinks he is tiny even though he weighs over 70 pounds. I love that he will only play tug with Brandy. I love that he wants to cuddle all of the time.
i love that you did one comment for each! 🙂 you’re clearly a good doggie mama!
Can I just say that I love the fact that you guys are clearly as obsessed with your dog as my husband and I are with ours. It makes me feel much less like the “crazy dog lady.”
I love that when my dog is tired, she flops, sighs and then makes this noise that sounds like a cow moo-ing. She is my #1 homegirl all the way!
definitely a crazy dog lady over here. you’re in good company!
Haha, my dog makes a similarmooing noise and it always cracks me up! If we’re alone, I try to make the noise back at her and she just looks at me like “momma youre doing it wrong!”
