While there, I had a good time looking at all of the doggie dress up items and surprised Ryan by dressing Sadie up in a pair of motorcycle shades.
Sadie is very tolerant of clothes and costumes, but she was not a fan of the glasses. I guess she’ll never be Lil’ Jon. Yeaaaaah.
Since Sadie handled my harassment with grace and dignity, we rewarded her good behavior with a trip to the dog park.
Usually Sadie finds a random tennis ball within five seconds of our arrival at the park, but today the balls were a bit more elusive. (Well, not the real male dog balls. Those were out for the kill and Sadie was looking ripe.)
And speaking of balls and genitalia, have you guys heard about this Weiner guy? Two local news anchors were talking about what would happen if he ran for president. Even if he was a good guy and wasn’t drowning in a pile of controversy for “sexting,” would anyone really vote for a guy named Weiner? I mean, c’mon. America is much to immature for that kind of nonsense. In Ryan’s words, “Would you want a President Titties?” Exactly.
Oh! The dog park… right!
We spent our time at the dog park walking around the trails and eavesdropping on an argument between two dog owners that was quite heated.
We’ve actually seen quite a few throw downs at the dog park. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies when you put a bunch of dogs and their owners in one open area.
Dinner
Eventually we made it home for dinner and split up the food preparation duties. I handled the veggies while Ryan stayed true to his meat man persona and fired up the grill.
While Ryan grilled some BBQ pork chops, I made us roasted Brussels sprouts with sweet potato fries (the last of the bag… sad day).
I told Ryan he should brace himself for a lot more grillin’ in his future because these pork chops were fantastic. Now that it’s summertime, our grill will definitely be put to good use.
Time to grab a Fudgsicle from the freezer!

How fun to bring Sadie to a store. My dog would tear everything apart. It would probably be extremely comical.. but also costly to my parents for the damage they would do!
Loving the brussel sprouts! YUM!
sadie’s expression in the second picture is priceless! i’m *still* trying to force myself to like brussel sprouts..maybe grillin’ is the way to go ;). and YES, totally agree about weiner…but dont forget we did have a mr and mrs bush in office..although that’s not definitely not as bad as weiner! 😀
LOLLLLLLLLL! HOW did I miss the bush joke!?!? I’m dyinggg.
hahahaha made my mornning!
Hahaha I love your “president weiner and president titties” comment…it reminds me of a story my mom told me about how her friend had a gyno named Dr. Finger…um, I don’t think I’d be going to him!
hahahhaha that is fantastic.
alexia makes some spicy sweet potato fries that are suuuuuper good too!
this post is hilarious!
love sadie & the doggles, cracking up at the “milkshake” reference and then the president titties?!?!!? HILARIOUS!!! 🙂
Owners fighting is definitely a Florida thing. I’ve lived in florida my whole life and have experienced the “type” of people that reside there. There are many great people as well, but a lot of people from my experience there seem grumpy, uptight, rude, etc, I’ve moved out of the state a year go and take my dog to the park a couple times a week. I have never seen a fight between two owners at a dog park. Usually I experience the opposite, people are very friendly and want to start a conversation.
Hahaha no, America could not handle that last name. I loveeee Sadie’s new comments in her pictures 🙂
Hey Julie! I was wondering how you came up with your blog name? I want to start my own blog soon, but I can’t think of one that I like enough or that feels like me.
The story can be found on my Favs page! 🙂
You are HILARIOUS. I love that whenever I come to your blog you always make me laugh! 🙂 Keep them coming!
I listened to a NPR show last week discussing “The Wiener problem”….. after a while I really had to grin.
Oh yummy sweet potatoes! And I love Sadie in the glasses, rock it out!! 😉
Ahaha this post was very fuunna! 🙂 Wieners teehee! Hmm I think that most foods taste better on the grill! I’ve even heard of people making cobblers, muffins and pies on the grill. That would be amazing! ( I dont know if baking on the grill is “manly” enough…but would taste good!!) 🙂
Dinner looks amazing!! I am sooo ready to fire up the grill.
check out these Weiner headlines!!!

Oh, man! I haven’t had a fudgsicle in ages – enjoy it!
No, we could not handle president Weiner. Huhaha “handle” “weiner.” No way. That guy will never be president, even if he wasn’t scummy!
Yep, I was going to crack on the Bush joke too. And that his VP was DICK cheney. So, Bush and Dick in office. Haha!
I wonder if you can grill Brussels sprouts? I mean, I’m sure you can, but I wonder how it’s done…Show us, grillmaster Ryan! 🙂
haha Saide is too cute! I always try to “dress” my dog up in ridiculous things like sunglasses and hats just for laughs and to take pics of him looking so darn cute in them….he’s not very tolerant of it.
I don’t know — MN voted for Jesse Ventura to be ne governor and CA had Arnold — I can see people voting for a Pres Weiner! I wouldn’t!
Poor Sadie — I’m glad she is tolerant of being dressed up!
See, I wouldn’t not vote for him just because of his name. I would not vote for him because we all actually SAW his weiner 😛
I’m jealous that you had a Fudgsicle. Ha, ha. I went to the store today to buy some and they were sold out!! 🙁
Great post!! I actually lol’d at that last pic of Sadie 🙂
haha, I love the Sadie captions. And the glasses. Putting glasses on pets always makes me laugh.
I totally heard about that Wiener guy and what a Dbag he is. My favourite was in his apology interview where he broke down and cried…like a big wiener.
I love that you are no longer at your job so you can talk freely about unprofessional things like titties and wieners! I still have to be careful 😉
Exactly! I feel so freeeee. 🙂
i hate to rain on your parade! weiner’s not running for president…he’s just a plain ‘ol congressman, albeit a shady one that sexts.
My Doggie Fish would never let me put glasses on her! Sadie was a beautiful model! 🙂
mmmm I love brussel sprouts! I just bought a bunch today!
Aahhh, we can’t get enough of Congressman Weiner here in Brooklyn. Oh wait, yes we can.
That reminds me of a funny conversation I had with my roommates in college. We were talking about last names, and whether a guy’s embarrassing last name could be a dealbreaker. My perpetually-single friend Jen sighed and said, “At this point, I’d settle for a Weiner.”
Haha! I like your friend. 🙂
President Titties?? I died.
Isn’t it crazy how vicious the owners can be at dog parks!? And that milkshake caption just had me laughing out loud on a train. You’re hysterical with the Sadie quotes!
I love the colors on your plate! Yum Summer!!!!! 🙂
We had pork chops last night but they don’t look near as good as your grilled ones!!!
Love the Weiner comments! I am from Canada and I have still heard all about him!
And I am so jealous of your grilling weather! The next nice day we have I swear I am grilling everything in my fridge… no exceptions!
OMG I love the sunglasses!!
America could never handle a President Weiner! Much too immature for that! Lol. Those brussels sprouts look awesome! 🙂
Too funny. I watch “The Talk” (a daytime talk show geared towards moms, but I like it too :)), and they have been making fun of the Weiner guy (see, I can’t even type that without laughing) everyday. No one would take him seriously if he were president.
One word: hysterical!
loved this post !!! made me crack up! i totally agree, a President Weiner = no bueno!
I was laughing out loud when I read this post, and my boyfriend asked why. I said I would only tell him if we could get a viszla. I’m trying so hard, but to no avail so far …
Haha I likr your style!
I love how you went from talking about virginity (kind of) in the last post to sexting and weiners in this post! Ha!
A throwdown at the dog park?! I hope the little puppies can’t hear! When I had a dog back in Chicago, one time while we were playing at the dog park, this little girl opened the gate and my puppy ran away…well actually, he ran through the park and into a touch football game. It was quite embarrassing but I didn’t get into it with that poor little girl. She didn’t know any better!
Oh man those brussel sprouts and fries look good…heck i won’t lie, im not a pork eater but even i would have trouble saying no that piece of meat 😀
A HILARIOUS post! You are just so funny Julie, I LOVE the new Sadie comments on her pictures, especially the “my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard” haha. So perfect. Keep up the good work.
Oh God, I am busting up laughing after this post! I am one of those immature Americans that can’t help but crack up with all this balls and weiner talk!!
HAHA this post make me LOL literally! You’re so funny…and a little bit dirty apparently. Love Saddie’s pictures. She’s a cutie!
hahahah oh I just love Sadie. 🙂 She’s a beautiful dog.
Your dinner looks soo good. I’m a jealous girl.
Awww, Sadie is so cute. And I love the captions you always put for her.
Haha, I love the sunglasses, poor dogs, I’m not really a dogclothes fan, I prefer their natural body!
Sadie is freaking adorable. Great shots of the pup! The grill is what summer is all about! Sounds like a great day.
Those comments underneath sadie’s pics really crack me up!!
Hahaha! That picture of Sadie in goggles is so funny! Seriously, it just made my day! 😀
