Today began with a strength workout from Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp plan that, yet again, incorporated five minute spurts of cardio in between supersets.
Though I stuck to the treadmill for most of the cardio, I did the mini five minute circuit from yesterday’s Beat Boredom Interval Workout as one of the quick cardio pick-me-ups and was quite humbled. That little circuit kills me!
Sexy Beast?
When Ryan and I arrive home from the gym every morning, we like to ambush Sadie. She’s typically sprawled out on our bed in her sleepy morning glory, and we love running into the bedroom and watching her continue to lay there, but with her tail rapidly beating against the bed sheets.
Ryan headed into the bedroom ahead of me today calling out, “Hey there sexy beast!”
Um, what? Sexy beast?
“What did you just call her?” I asked.
“Sadie beast.”
I laughed, explaining that I thought he called our dog a sexy beast. Admittedly, we’re a little obsessed with Sadie, but I think referring to your dog as a sexy beast is a line even we aren’t willing to cross.
Although, if we polled the male dogs from the Baldwin Park dog park, I think we would find that we do, in fact, have a sexy beast on our hands.
Breakfast
Breakfast this morning began with a hot mug of coffee.
My main meal included scrambled eggs made with a splash of milk, shredded cheese, onion, leftover roasted cauliflower and avocado.
Avocado made this bowl of basic scrambled eggs feel extra special.
Question of the Morning
- Do you have any unusual nicknames for your pet?
Sadie has a million nicknames, though Sexy Beast is not one of them. Off the top of my head, we call her Pooper, Poops, Sadie Baby, Princess, Wiggle Worm, Sadie Girl, Sades, Crazy Lady, Love Machine… the list goes on and on.
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
I just don’t think the list ends with dog nicknames 🙂 We have two little pups, Banner and Parker and new names pop up every day. Our favorites are schmoopy (referring to either dog) and because our youngest is only 3 pounds we call him nugget. He actually answers to nugget more consistently than Parker.
Handome, Michael Phelps, Mr. Big, Monkey…
Oops – Handsome
Okay, I bust up laughing every time you post pictures of Sadie with those hilarious captions. Oh wow, totally makes my day ha!
I laughed out loud at the captions on the pics of Sadie! So funny. We don’t have a dog (yet), but I have already been calling my soon-to-be-born son (10 days!!!) Booger Bear. Don’t ask me why I chose that as my term of endearment!
I have a dog named Sadie too and we usually call her Sadie Baby 🙂 I might have to steal Sadie Beast though…that’s a cute one!
Our cat Lulu, I call her goof all the time. I have no clue why. We sure do some crazy things when it comes to our pets, makes me wonder what I’ll be like when I have kids!!!
My dog has lots of things we call her! Her name is Pali (pronounced like Polly). I call her Pol, Pols, Pol-ip, Mutt, Puppy-Mutt, Princess, ‘Cess (short for Princess), Princess Pali, Pali-Mutt, and Pup. She usually responds to all of them!
So glad I’m not the only one with bizarre dog nicknames. I call mine ‘Pooh Face’, obviously as a term of endearment.
The one that’s caught on the most is Brady Lady. Most people think she’s a he so we try to emphasize her girl-ness with pink accessories and a cute nickname.
We have a Treeing Walker Coonhound. Often, we refer to her as just “hound dog”. Her real name is Abbey. But, somehow, her nickname has become “Bubbles”. And she knows it very well!
OMG! Sadie!
Hilarious!!!!!!!
Your captions make me laugh out loud.
We call our pit bull/border collie mix all sorts of things including Lucy (her actual name), Muttski, Puppers and Beetlejuice.
We are having a baby in November and I can only imagine how many nicknames the baby will eventually have, lol.
My dogs name is Bailey. I of course refer to her as my daughter. Names that we call her are: Bay, Bailey Anne, Mommas, Lil’ girl, Crazy Eyes, Pretty Girl, and that’s all I can think of. : )
I have a chocolate lab named Lana, who eventually we started calling Lana-bug, or Buglet, now we just refer to her as “The Bug.” She is a complete mess and the most energetic dog I have ever encountered, but we still love her to pieces!!
OMG I have so many nicknames for my beloved dog, Cooper- Cooper-Scooper, Cooper-man, Little Deuc Coop…its pathetic, really! haha
I call my cat “puppy”. I know it’s ironic- but my cat really is just like a dog. He drinks out of the toliet, likes my face, & even carries around a nerf gun dart in his mouth and begs my family to play fetch w/ him! 🙂
My husband is always giving me a hard time about the nicknames I have for our two cats–Bert and Chow. Somehow, we started calling the two of them Skudgy Cats–we have no clue what it means or where it came from, but that’s just what they are now! They also have their own nicknames, but we have some many of them I won’t bother to list them!
My dogs nickname is “Tootie” because she.. well yeah.
May I ask what you put in your coffee? Yours looks the way I like mine but I always feel guilty adding things to it, and I can’t drink it black.
My cat’s name is Amadeus but I usually call him bubby or dude.
We sometimes call our dog Bruno “Magic Bruno,” because when he gets excited – and I mean CRAZY excited – his *ahem* “little Bruno” makes an appearance.
In all other G-rated moments, I tend to call him names of foods I really like i.e. pizza, donut, ice cream sandwich, bagel, watermelon quinoa salad, etc.
we call my dog olive-moose, moose pie?,and olive sue ?!
My dog’s name is Moose, but his full name is “Mooselini Sweatpants.” So I often just call him by “Pants.” He answers to it 🙂
Bahahahaha. My parent’s dog’s name is Sierra … but I usually call her Sweetie Pie or Crazy Face.
Puhahaha those captions are so funnny! We call one of our cats Buggabooryon bc hes always meowing like he plays a trumpet and doesn’t stop 😛
we call my dog bubba. After following your blog for a while, I made a egg+ jelly sandwich this morning-for the first time and it was amazing! thanks for the idea!
Bahaha! I love that you thought that’s what he called her 😉 I don’t have a dog, so no nicknames here!
My cat is Bianca but she goes by “B.” Cats are simple like that.
My dog, Pixie, gets all the nicknames…Pixie Dust, Mini Me, Banana Pants (I have NO idea where that came from), and when she is in trouble…..Pixie Sue Battista!
hahah I love this! I always call my cat “handsome little man”, but I don’t think I would ever cross that line either!
My dog’s name is Delilah but she gets called everything from Delilly, Lilly, Lila, Lila Dog, just to name a few. My other dog is Rodeo who is an overweight pug who is called Ro-Ro, Ho-Ho, and most often Fatty Watty.
Well…my fiance once called our dog “babe” on accident…it was hilarious.
Our dog’s name is India. We call her:
* Dia
* Indita (the Spanish version of course)
* Doo-doo (this is basically her name all of the time)
* Doo-di-dah (my name for her)
* India Skullcap….don’t ask haha
I’m so glad he didn’t really say “sexy beast”
Our dogs have a few nicknames.
Wilbur – Biscuit and Wilbert
Angus – Ang Hole
Cracker – Crack Man and Crackerdoodledoo
Spike – Spikers and Spikey
Nelly – Smelly Nelly
I honestly don’t remember the last time I called my dog by his real name, unless he was in trouble or I was trying to encourage him (like when we go for walks and go past houses with other dogs and he gets all scared because he’s a pansy outside of our property haha). I pretty much stick to “best fwend,” “bestest fwend in da whole wide wo-wold,” and, my personal favorite, “cwittewy faysh.” I also apparently turn into a four year old with a speech impediment when I talk to my dog haha.
I often call my cat Butternut squash. He is a fat orange fur ball named Buster.
Oh my goodness… my husband & I have SO many nicknames for our pug, Stewie… pookie, pooker boy, Stewbot, Stew, pug-a-lug, Bot, the list goes on & ON!
I truly laughed out loud when I saw the captions with Sadie’s pictures today.
Our Yorkiepoo Sadie gets Sadielicious a lot, and Lovergirl since she gives so many kisses.
Penny the little minpin gets so excited when I come home she looks like she will fall over from wiggling so much, always gets called” Little Miss Wigglesworth”. hahaha…a whole big title for a little 5 pound pooch.
The captions on the Sadie photos made my day! Too funny!
Our little guy has so many nicknames, I’m surprised he actually knows his name! His name is Liko, but we also call him Little One, Fatty, Leeks… at my parents house he’s known as Old Man, Small Fry… so many names! My favorite one is HEY. For some reason, when I need him to come, he responds more to HEY than his name. 🙂
Our dog Nelley (who isn’t a Viszela but looks quite similar to Sadie) is often referred to as “The Nelley Monster” or “the monster” for short. I figure if we have kids one day we are going to have to explain to people why they think we have a monster at home, and one that we love dearly!!
Sadie is one sexy beast!
Our dogs, Jackson and Henry, have tons of nicknames.
Jackson – Jake, Jakeson, Sneaky, Sneakers, Zeke, big guy, buddy
Henry – Hank, little hen, Hennie, Henners, little man
My fiance’s parents actually just got a dog and named him Zeke and we were kindof ticked off because we can’t use it as a nickname anymore haha
Hahaha Ohhh do we have nicknames. Our dog is a one year old Catahoula named Gaia. We have a grandma who calls her Guy-luh, but besides that she gets called Stinky, Princess, Angel Muffin, Gaia Louise, Stinky Gaia, etc etc etc. (Gaia is pronounced Guy-uh by the way 😉 )
I love Sadie!!! She is fabulous! 🙂 I had a cat named Chloe, but I usually called her Chloe Angel Muffins of Love! lol! She was a Diva!! We have a Boston Terrier named Rosie and we call her Rosie Posie a lot. I love your blog and all the pics of Sadie!
we have two beagles:
maddy – we call madditude when she does her own thing, prissy paws bc she kinda prances when she walks and maddy waddy when she is being cute
sophie – we call crazy well bc she is crazy and soph a doph when she is being cute
and when we want to call them at the the same time it is madsoph
love dogs! and love all your pics of sadie especially when you give her thought bubbles. it is my favorite part of your blog.
First of all, the quotes you put on Sadie’s pictures always make me laugh out loud…I could really see her saying these things!
My dog’s name is Isabella and we call her Bella for short. I call her “stinky dog”, “stinky winky”, “poopers”, “wooger butt”, “boogies”, and probably some other random names I can’t think of because they just come out and I don’t remember saying them. I really have no idea where those nicknames come from either!
Sometimes I’m amazed at the nicknames that come out of my mouth when I’m talking to my dog, Gizmo. I don’t even realize what I’m saying. The ones I use most often are Bean (because she looks like a kidney bean when she curls up), Monkey, Weirdo, Silly girl, and Doofus. Unfortunately I’ve gotten into the habit of calling her Nut too. I’m trying to break myself of that one, because it sounds really inappropriate to say “Hey, my little Nut!”
I have a dog named Molly. And her nickname is Molly Wolly Doodle. Because I am cleary 4 years old.
your pictures of sadie always make me crack up!! 🙂 also i have that ‘j’ mug and it is my favorite coffee mug!!
and avocado makes everything better. always!
Haha Julie I just spit my water out at work reading those picture captions! I call my cat Baxter, “Muffin,” and I have no clue why. I also ask him what he did that day when I get home from work. I really hope other people do that haha.
HAHA! Yes! Our dog is named Bella and we call her Bella Boo a lot and Keith calls her the Little Princess when she is acting spoiled. Keith also calls her Knucklehead when she is being naughty.
My dog is named Sammie. I call him all of the following (usually all in one day):
Samster, Samuel, Samuel L. Drabson, Nugget, Nuggie, Nug, Cub, Cubbie, Sam Cub, Bear dog, Mini dog, Baby dog, and for a while in college my friends and I called him, Little Mini Baby Frankenstein Peter Jr. He had a Halloween shirt..
Our dogs nicknames are Dummy and Pooper. I’m sure you can guess how they came about 🙂
hahaha Surely the two best Sadie captions in PBF history! 🙂
Our dog’s name is Lenny. We call him Len, Leonard, Scooby, Wiggle butt, Buddy, Big Boy, and occasionally Shit-head (when is is naughty)!
