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.

I love that you and Ryan love her so much! <3
This is such a sweet post!
I love that my dog follows me around our house all day long, dropping his ball to remind me that he’s there and we need to go outside and play. I also like that when I’m done drinking my protein shakes, I let him lick the cup and it usually suctions to his face and it is hilarious to watch him!
I had never seen the ass grass post before! That happened to my cat with a Christmas tree needle this winter… yikes.
I love that my cat acts like a dog. Meets me at the door, begs for food, comes when called. Almost makes me forget that I want a dog so badly 😉
I agree that our pets definitely put the eternal hooks in our heart the moment we fear we’ve lost them (due to them running away or getting sick). Not that we don’t love them before but afterwards we always see them as precious, precious creatures…
This is so sweet! When I used to live in Florida with my parents, I loved how my dog would be so excited to see us every time we came home, regardless of how long we’d been gone!
Awww. Hugs to Sadie! Glad she is OK. Did she ever tell you where she went exploring?
We have an English lab, Scout, and I love that Scout has unlimited supply of love, hugs and kisses. I love that he snores (like an 80 year old man) and wakes himself up with the noise; greets everyone at the door and loves to sunbathe!
I have a bunny, and she GROWLS when I feed her. She either thinks I’m taking the food away or not giving it to her fast enough.
It’s the craziest thing and we can’t find any other bunny owner that has a bunny that does this!
omg, please post a video of this.
Hee! I’ll try to get her in action. 🙂
that is too cute! other than my brother and sister in law’s new puppy, I just have my goldfish, Neville! Not quite a dog, but he always freaks out and tries to swim towards me when I’m near his bowl. Hopefully it’s not just because he thinks I’ll feed him…
I love that our old dog (he’ll be 14 in a few weeks!) has such a good attitude and still enjoys the little things. About a year ago, his back legs started giving out and we got him a dog wheelchair (google Eddie’s Wheels), and even though he can’t walk or run on his own anymore, he still begs for food, gets excited for walks, and loves being outside.
I love that our other dog was abused by his previous owners, and he’s turned from a fearful, protective dog that couldn’t even go on a walk without being terrified, to a dog that wags his tail at everyone, loves going for walks, and throws his toys around the living room.
that is so precious. i’m so glad your dogs are part of such a loving family.
I’m the first to admit that I’m a cat person. I play with my cat and he runs and I think everything he does is adorable. I have dog-sat quite a few of my friends and family members dogs, so I have experience with them. This made me tear up! I’m so glad you found her, it’s the scariest thing in the world when they’re lost. Your heart drops, you don’t know what they could have done, where they are, if someone has them. I’m happy y’all are a complete family again.
I love everything about my new puppy Charlie..except maybe when he pees in the house. He is seriously the fluffiest cutest baby in the world (my latest post if full of him). He gets so happy when I come home and when he gets confused he just sits down and looks up at me like what the heck mom?
Our shih-tzu/bichon will do a downward dog after a long time and stretch really far while sticking her butt in the air.
I too love her sighs when she’s frustrated or finally in a comfortable position.
And I really love how she curls up in between our pillows at night, on her back, paws in the air, passed out like she is a human.
Dogs really bring so much joy to our lives, don’t they?!
We all love Sadie too, Julie! I was telling my husband that other day that we should get a Vizsla one day. 🙂 I love everything about my dog Emma too. I love her soft fluffy fur, the fact that she is freakishly large for her breed, her big brown eyes, the way she cuddles with me, and how she is always happy to see me. Dogs can make even the worst days a little brighter.
I love everything about my golden I tell him I love him all the time and this morning my 5 year old son said “Mommy you said that a million times he knows you love him !” But I have to say it everyday b/c he needs to hear it:)
I love that my kitty knows when I’m sad and always acts extra affectionate, which makes me feel better. I love that she follows me everywhere . I love that when she tries to chew on my hand and I say “Natasha NO!”…she immediately starts licking me 🙂 I love that she is standing right by the front door waiting for me when I get home after work. Most of all I love that she is my very first pet that is all my own 🙂
I love how Leo, our chinese crested, is a daddy’s boy and uses him as a pillow. He also loves real pillows and will crowd you off of them with his feet and rolling.
Peanut, our pomchi, thinks she’s a cat. It’s adorable. She meows instead of barking a lot of the time because she’s not supposed to bark. She likes to rub her face into the floor and on us to show love. And she loves to lick us all the time. It’s adorable.
The things that I love about Chase the Wonderdog are too numerous to list. But I really really REALLY love how he’ll watch the TV intently while I’m watching nature DVDs. And if something small and chaseable and furry’s on the screen, he’ll run for his squeaky toy, run back and sit in the front of the screen. And then everytime something he wants to chase shows up: SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK. His squeaky toy is very, very quiet when there are tigers or elephants on the screen. It seriously cracks me up every single time.
Sweet Sadie…sorry you had a rough morning!
I am totally obsessed with my chihuahua/min pin, Arlo. He’s like 5 lbs and the most amazing little dude ever. I love that he can go from running around our apartment like a psycho one minute to being the biggest cuddle bug in the world the next minute. And I love the mornings when he wakes up and crawls up to the top of the best and either snuggles in with me, lays on top of me, or starts licking my ear. He’s so awesome.
This was the cutest post ever. I think our dogs would be best friends.
i love everything about our dog! my husband and i call capone’s excited tail-wagging his wiggle-butt! he doesn’t just wag his tail, his entire butt goes back and forth like crazy when we get home or play with a frisbee!
So sweet! I love how Clifford always greets me when I come home, how he needs to be near me and lays right next to me in with his head on the pillow.
I look forward to seeing him everyday when I get home from work!
Beautiful post. If I had a dog, I would want it to be just like Sadie.
This just warms my heart. And as someone born in Chicago, I just love the photo of her in the Bulls jersey! My favorite thing about my dog is he taught me why they call dogs “man’s best friend.”
she’s a big-time bulls fan! 🙂 i think she has a crush on benny.
For Bentley, I love the way she becomes obsessed with whatever toy we give to her. She will not stop playing with it and attempting to have you throw it until we take it away from her… trust me she has done it for 12 hours non-stop! She also lets out a large loud sigh when she gets comfortable in our bed at night. When I think something is wrong she will do the same as Sadie and act like she is dying- only to be babied by me!!
Marley- She will watch me in the kitchen while I cook, and when I am not doing anything anymore and just standing there either looking through my phone or watching the TV she will begin letting out little whimper/whistles to get my attention. Also- she always has to cuddle. Whether im on the couch or in bed her head has to be on my chest and her “arm” around my stomach.
HAHAHA I just died laughing – out loud – at work – reading your post about Sadie’s “ass grass.” I was trying to imagine what in the world that would look like before I got to the actual picture, and it was even more funny that it was one single blade, not even a tuft stuck by mud or something…hehe laughing again as I write this. Thank you for that early afternoon pick me up :).
as crazy as that experience was, it’s one of my favorite sadie memories! 🙂
Haha I love that you ended with the ass grass!
This post makes me want a dog so so so badly 🙂
I love how Milo forces his head under my hand when he wants his head petted. I love how he waits in my chair until I get home and then jumps up and down until i bend down to scratch his belly.
A very sweet tribute to an obviously beloved pup! I do find it interesting though, how it’s always really apparent who has kids and who doesn’t by the way they obsess over their animals. My best friend was OBSESSED with her dog. She talked to him like he was a human and treated him like he was a king (it was cute). She just had a baby four months ago and now the dog is more of an annoyance than a family member. He kinda sulks in the corner, knocking things over to get attention. And my friend totally knows it. But the baby is her whole life right now, which is how it’s supposed to be.
This is SUCH a cute post <3 I love it so much, and I love that you love your baby Sadie so much! And in all honestly, I agree with the above comment…this makes me want me and Tom to have a dog of our own soooo much! My parents have three and I love them to pieces, they are absoultely gorgeous and all three are like little rays of kindess and sunshine, lol! 😛 One day we will get a dog, if and when the time is right. You are so lucky to have Sadie (and she is lucky to have you)! xyx
I have a 143 pound mastiff mix pound puppy named Leo who yowls with joy whenever I walk into the living room first thing in the mornings. It sounds sort of like Dory’s impression of the whale in Finding Nemo. You have to love that. <3
love the picture of her under the blanket – hilarious!
Julie! This brought tears to my eyes! I loved this so much! WOW! I ran to give my puppy a hug & smooch right after!
Ricky & I have to refer to going on walks as “taking the dogs for a W” because the word walk sends them into a frenzy of excitement.
Sorry you had such a stressful morning! I’ll give Lala and Reno extra love when I get home from work tonight. 🙂
That warmed my heart–made me smile big and say aww so much that my colleagues wondered what I was looking at. 🙂
I love that they love you no matter what!
This is sweet sadie id adorable. Our cat Cleo who passed away last fall would bring us a piece of paper and play fetch, I miss that. I love the way our dog Loki gets so excited when we come home she does a happy dance and laughs, I love the way she was so understanding when the cat was sick and left her alone, I know her heart was breaking too, and I love when my husband sits down she runs over and climes in his lap like she’s just a puppy and not a 60 pound dog. I’m glad you found Sadie safe and sound this morning.
Julie! I am soo happy that Miss Sadie returned! I had a golden retriever, Buddy (now in heaven), who ran away for TWO DAYS once, and he was found in “jail,” aka the pound. He was fine, just very shaken up– but not as much as I was! I know that feeling, Julie, and I’m so glad Sadie was just playing a trick on you! Dogs are such key family members, aren’t they?
This is hitting home so much. I have been overwhelmed with emotion and love for my Winston the past 24 hours (even more than normal if that is possible) because I found out yesterday that he had pancreatitis. The vet said that it should go away, but still, I’m a nervous wreck. My poor baby! They had him on IV fluids and now he’s home on meds and I can’t concentrate just worrying about my little man. I wish I could take away his pain and just have his frisky self back. I love the unconditional love and eager to please attitude. They really are the best!
Such a cute post, and I love seeing all the pictures of Sadie. I’m more of a cat person, but Sadie could convert me 🙂
I have two rescue kitties and the thing I love about them the most show much they both appreciate being rescued. Every time we go away, they are always so excited to see us back. My littlest one, Christian, sits cuddled up to me when I read your blog, and paws at the screen when he see’s food 🙂
Oh I love our little wag babies!!!! I read your post this morning and something like that totally happened to me! When I moved into my new house with my boyfriend we thought we lost Sophie, our little french bulldog. We live in a city, but our backyard is huge and faces toward a forest so it’s super dark at night. We’ve seen a scary looking fox a few times so I get worried when she goes out. One night we let her out (and she never goes very far…seriously, she is lazy and little baby) and she never came back. We yelled and screamed for her, ran all around the yard with a flashlight looking for her but no Sophie. After 20 minutes I heard a whimpering around the side of the house. I was sure the fox had gotten her. Turns out Sophie had run around to the front of the house and was hiding up on the front porch in the dark. Crazy little girl almost gave me a heart attack.
My little nugget is sending some love to Sadie! It’s scary getting lost from home!
I’m so glad you decided to publish this.
So cute. I can’t get enough of Sadie either!
I love everything about both of my doggies!! My 3 yr old pit mix was abused before we got him and I have loved watching him become a happy dog! He is now so full of life…which was a 180 from the scared little man he was just 6 short months ago. He is so greatful for the love he is given and just wants to play and be near my hubby and I. My other dog was a rescue and she is a choc. lab puppy. she is so happy all of the time and has so much energy its overwhelming at times, but she is my running buddy, our watchdog, and such a lover. Our dogs are my life!!
I couldn’t live without my Vizsla….We went to the vet yesterday and the doctor said to me “He has the best facial expressions I have ever seen.” (he was not a fan of the thermometer up the rear :-/ ) They are the best!
I love how my dog can have conversations with me =]
I love when I’m having a sad moment my dog lays her head on my lap. It’s her little way of saying, “don’t be sad, Mom.”. Sometimes she brings me one of her toys since they bring her joy. what a precious pup!
Aw!! This is such a cute post! 🙂 It makes me miss living with my family dog. I love that as soon as I come over my mom’s house he gives me lots and lots of kisses. I love how he lays on the vent in the summer and his ears blow from the air. I love how he will just jump right on the sofa and sit directly on your lap. I can’t wait until I can get a dog of my own. 🙂
I have too many animals to respond to this in less than a novel. But many of the things I love about my two dogs are the same things you love about Sadie. My favorite is probably not understanding the concept of personal space. Even when it’s annoying, it makes me smile. I’m SO SO relieved you guys found her this morning. I was about to cry just THINKING about that.
I love my pup. My aunt has decided that Max was a circus dog when he was little… he runs on three (sometimes 2!) legs when he gets excited, can squeeze into any small space, is excellent on walking on his hind legs, and does a walking handstand when he pees. Seriously. Circus dog.
Adorable circus dog, to be exact 🙂
