Apparently Sadie thinks she will melt in the rain. She walks on wet sidewalks with light, awkward steps and looks up at me every five seconds as if to say, “How much longer are we going to be in misery?”
Well, my mom caught wind of Sadie’s hatred for rain and bought her a pink raincoat for Christmas! Since it was rainy outside this morning, I slipped it on Sadie before our walk.
She was quite excited about her little jacket until I opened the door and she saw the rain coming down.
"I'm Mellllllllting!"
She sniffed the wet air, walked back inside and just looked at me.
"Uh uh. I ain't walkin' in that!"
I pulled her outside and we went on a short walk. Once we got moving, Sadie didn’t seem to mind the dreary weather. Apparently her rain jacket was a success!
Plus, when we got home she just about peed herself with excitement when she saw me grab a towel. This dog loves to be toweled off!
Breakfast
Breakfast was a cozy bowl of yogurt with quinoa and freshly sliced strawberries.
Yog + Quin + Strawbs
I love the texture that quinoa adds to a bowl of yogurt. It’s slightly chewy and just plain fun to eat.
Up Close and Personal
One last thing before I’m off to work…Did you hear about Starbucks’ new logo?
Starbucks' New Logo

Not sure how I feel about that one….

Sadie’s pink raincoat? Awesome!! Starbucks new logo? Not so much…
My dog makes me walk out with her under an umbrella, haha! I need to invest in a cute jacket too 😉
I don’t like the new logo 🙁 it’s….funky haha.
Enjoy your day!
An umbrella — I need to try this with my pup, haha thanks for the tip!
Works wonders for little fellas 😉
OH no @ the logo! AWFUL!
Sadie is beautiful 🙂
Sadie looks real cute in her jacket!!!
Sadie is too cute for her own good. Your posts on her REALLY make me want to get a dog!
One of my dogs hates water of all types unless it is mixed with dirt – she loves mud. The other loves the hose and rain. They both LOVE towels.
I hate the new logo. Yes, hate is a strong word but I really think it is awful.
When I am fortunate enough to become a dog owner, I hope mie is as adorable as sweet Sadie! I didn’t even know raincoats for dogs existed, an I sure as heck have never met one that enjoyed being toweled off!
I need to bring quinoa into my life.
I think like all the things the new logo will grow on us. I hated the new FB design but now I am so used to it that I like it and don’t even rememeber the old one. I am sure will be the same for the starbucks logo.
Sadie looks super cute. I love her in her new raincoat. As for Starbucks new log, I don’t like it. I’m sure that its just because it’s unfamiliar, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for companies to change their logos.
my pug refuses to go outside when it is raining. I feel ya! Dogs are silly.
I love the logo! It’s modern& artsy, and she looks like a pretty bold chick!
Ummm #1, I love the raincoat. Flippin’ precious. #2, I’m diggin the logo. Change is always welcomed in my world.
I do not like that logo at all! Where’s the “Starbucks” Why mess with a good thing??
The rain coat is so cute 🙂 way to go mama Bream!
oh no! i hate the new logo- the 1992 one is the BEST…
Koda is funny about rain too 🙂
I like the old Strbucks logo better… Now they think they’re so cool that they don’t need their name on it 😉
that. raincoat. is. AWESOME.
I think everyone will agree that the new ‘bucks logo is a disappointment. however; i think most people are typically adverse to logo changes, yes?
buuuut it’s just not as pretty as the last one. 😉 Happy Thursday!
My family dog does that too! He will stand there and won’t move if it’s raining. I think we need to invest in a raincoat for him as well especially since he is going to be staying with me for a few days next week.
Your breakfast looks so good. I can’t get over how yummy the quinoa, yogurt and strawberries look. I need to have that! I am with you on the Starbucks new logo. I am not a fan of it.
I’ll probably get used to the Starbucks logo and grow to like it!
Where do you find quinoa? I’d like to try it but I’ve never seen it.
i bought it from the bulk foods bins at whole foods. i’m not sure where you live, but if you live in the southeast, publix sells it as well in their health/organic foods section. hope this helps!
omg, i just remembered when bunker first saw rain! he was about 4 months old and it was raining HARD…we had to get him to pee before bedtime though! he walked out past the porch, freaked out, and ran back onto the porch where he peed on the concrete. thank goodness he loves it now!
That logo is strange! I’m not a starbucks drinker so it doesn’t really bother me 🙂
Sadie looks so cute in that coat! My dog hates the rain, too. It becomes especially frustrating when it comes business time as he refuses to go out. … Ummm, I’ll leave it at that.
Do you like the quinoa more than the barley in your yogurt bowls?
ahh i like barley better. but quinoa is a nice change!
I really like the new logo – maybe I’m the only one. 🙂 I think it looks sharp and is great for the direction they want to move in.
Sadie is too adorable! I can just picture her turning her nose up and refusing to go out.
Like you, I’m not sure about the Starbucks logo. On the one hand, it’s not all that different … but on the other, it’s just different enough to be strange and unfamiliar.
Your breakfast looks delish, Julie — and Sadie, as always, is adorable in her raincoat. But ehhh – not a fan of the new Starbucks logo…
Sadie’s raincoat is so adorable!! I think they should keep the words on the Starbucks logo. Supposedly they removed them so they can use the image on non-coffee products, but I don’t think anyone would think twice about buying something like vanilla ice cream that said “Starbucks Coffee.” Consumers know that Starbucks has a wide range of food and beverages for non-coffee lovers, purposefully removing the brand name from the logo to avoid using the word “coffee” seems strange.
Ahh Sadie is so cute.
i don’t like the new logo! I like the orginal.
The old logo is so much better! Hah, I love Sadie’s raincoat. I seriously have a pink one almost that same color.
When I was in Venice last year, all the dogs had raincoats..really fancy ones and it was so freakin’ cute!
Not diggin’ the new logo..
Sadie’s raincoat is very cute! My dog hates going outside when it’s raining, and will avoid a puddle at ALL costs!
I’m not really feeling the new logo; I definitely like the old one better!
Long time reader, first time commentor! Firstly, I’ve been telling my husband for awhile now how much you and I are virtually the same person (ooh, that sounded “stalker-esque”)…newlywed, runner, Pump, ridiculous dogs (mine’s a retriever), in the writing biz…weird single-white-female list goes on.
But today takes the cake…we have the same stinkin’ doormat (but with a “G”)! Weirdo.
Keep up the entertaining posts and I’ll keep “stalking” you from Canada. (PS – Piper, our poochero, got a new Snuggie for Christmas…Canada, ‘member?)
lol – i love this! and your doormat. 🙂
That is too funny about Sadie… Happy does pretty much the SAME thing! Whenever it’s wet outside or raining and we take her out, she steps in the grass with such care and precision so she can avoid getting her paws wet. It is the FUNNIEST thing to watch (She even goes as far as keeping one front or back paw lifted in the air so not all 4 of her paws are on the ground). She is such a happy go lucky dog who could care less about bouncing off of and running into walls inside…. but get her outside, into the rain and all she wants to do is jump up into your arms and be taken back inside! Ohh how I love dogs with personalities 🙂
My dog hates going out in the rain too!
About the logo- so awful. They need to change it back right now.
HATE the new logo. Ew!! I feel like it’s “We’re so cool we don’t even need to put the name on our cups.” And this will mean that the holiday cups won’t look as cool, either. Hrumph.
I think you should bring Sadie to dinner. She’d probably enjoy eating all our food 🙂
we pretty much had the same breakfast! i think i like the logo! everyone else seems to hate it?
that raincoat is adorable!!
I read about that logo redesign yesterday! As a graphic design student, I must say, less IS NOT always more…this logo is sooo plain and boring, totally not what Starbucks is all about.
ps, LOVE sadie!
Aww Sadie is so fancy! 🙂
I’m considering kicking out my allergic roommate so I can get a Sadie 😉
I’m not a fan of the logo…It doesn’t really look “new,” just like they dropped the words. And I am a very wordsy girl haha!
I love Sadie’s raincoat! My dog is oblivious to pretty much any weather (though he doesn’t like hot summer walks much since he’s got a lot of fur!) and if there is a puddle, no matter how small, he will find it and get as wet as possible. He loves being toweled off too!
Just wanted to say I LOVE your revamped workout page I did one of your treadmill workouts on Tuesday and am planning on doing the 40-minute one today! Please continue to update your workout page because your helping me kick my own butt!
You have got to see my post from last night! Winston was sporting his Red rain slicker… He and Sadie would be quite the duo! Too cute!
the raincoat is perfect, glad it was a success!!
I love the raincoat!! Neither of my dogs has a raincoat, but my smaller coonhound-mix, Thea, does have jacket. She loves to wear it and is very prancing when she has it on during walks. I’m glad to hear that Thea isn’t the only coat-loving dog out there 🙂
My dogs like to go out in the rain because it means they get to be toweled off when they come back in! It’s their favorite game! Sometimes if they’re playing outside and don’t want to come in, I’ll say “Do you want the towel?” and they come running every time! 🙂
That breakfast looks really good! I might have to step outside of my comfort zone and try it. Any specific flavor of yogurt? Or just plain?
i used vanilla but i think any flavor would be great.
That dog is just TOO cute! What a precious jacket!
OMG I WANT A SADIE!! 😀 She’s too cute! And about the Starbucks logo, I feel the same way as you… It’s gonna take some getting used to!
Sadie is too CUTE! 🙂 I love the coat!
But I don’t love the new Starbucks logo. :/
Awww Sadie is looking so stylish in her new coat. Our dog absolutely hated rain as well, and it did not matter how much nature was calling she hated going outside and would rush right in.
On another note, I tried quinoa for the first time a while back….there is a foodie blogger that I read who loves to eat the stuff and makes some great recipes with it 🙂
