Wanna know something I think about regularly?
I wish Sadie had the ability to bake.
And clean.
(Sorry for that one, but it’s true. She’s had lots of practice.)
Sadie seriously looks at me with eyes that always seem to want to be involved. I’m convinced she’d be the most helpful little apprentice in all the land if only she had thumbs.
Unfortunately Sadie’s helpfulness was at an all-time low this evening, so dinner was left to me and Ryan.
Meatball subs!
We made meatball subs topped with lots of shredded cheese and served them with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts and sautéed onions.
The Brussels sprouts were just not cutting it for me today. (They were severely underseasoned. As they say on Cupcake Wars, I was underwhelmed. <—What is that? Seriously.)
I thought I was in the mood for the Brussels sprouts as they were roasting, but after eating about five bites, I was over ‘em. The cheesy meatball sub, however, went down just fine.
Time to put up the Christmas tree!!!
Question of the Evening
- If your pet could do one pain-in-the-butt thing for you daily, what would you have them do?
Khushboo says
I would pay for a pet to pack my lunches for work…top dollar!

erica says

Angela says
I wish my dogs could pet me and love on me as much as I do them. I would be so happy to receive so much affection!
Lauren says
I would have my Sammy clean his own hair off our couch. That would be fantastic!
Nicole says
I would have the dogs follow my husband around and clean up after him. He is like a mess gangster. Drive-by mess maker.

this post was hilarious to read this AM. I laid in bed this AM describing how our cat and dog needed to go to work for me today. my husband thinks i’m a total nut job b/c i was telling how funny it would be if they actually had to go to work like humans. it obviously would take some team work for them to get there…one on the pedals one on the steering 😉 these are the things i do on a cold ohio morning to stay under the electric blanket and not get up. until my husband says ‘you realize you are keeping me up with this sillyness and i don’t not need to be up this early’ blah!

The post was cute! Some of the pictures you post of Sadie are so awesome; they make me think of my dog Ruby. Ruby is a GSP and she gives the same looks and those stinkin’ eyes just make her look so sad and pathetic. She has me and my husband whipped when it comes to her “please play with me” or “you’re not gonna eat that, can I?” Since Ruby is always at our hip, I wish she could do the laundry. She is obsessed with our clothes. Or better yet do the dishes. She would love it if we let her be the dishwasher! I think Sadie and Ruby would have a blast playing together. Both high energy dogs; they wouldn’t know when to stop! Hope you got your tree up. Can’t wait to see pics!

Meatballs subs are so good! I find them comforting. This one looks delicious. I love all of the cheese on them. 🙂 Roasted brussels sprouts are my favorite but if they are underseasoned, you are right. They aren’t that great. Still good though.

If only Lola and Azrael could clean their own litter box. That would be so helpful!
The subs looked pretty tasty! You have me craving subs for dinner tonight… off to SkinnyTaste I go to dig up her amazing meatball recipe!
Cate says
I don’t have a pet, but I would love for one to have the ability to fold and put away the laundry. I don’t mind doing the laundry, it’s just the folding and putting it in the drawers that I put off for as long as I can!
Rebecca @ Miss Magnolia Munches & Moves says
I literally lauged out loud at Sadie’s butt hole cleaning! Funny ’cause it’s true! I wish my dog could bathe herself. Is that too much to ask?
Jennifer says
Since we have 4 dogs, I wish they could do pooper scooper duty for us.
whitney says
I would love if our english bulldog could put up his own toys…he’s fantastic at pulling every. single. one. out. especially after i have just put them up.
we’re just lucky that he knows as much as he does, bless his heart. 😉
Christelle says
Folding laundry! I’d rather clean 10 bathrooms that fold 1 laod of laundry…
Ashley says
I wish Charlee could sweep and vacuum her hair up. Most annoying having tumbleweed hair balls float across my floor all the time and she acts nothing of it. I want to, for once, chase the vacuum around !!
Skinny Fat Kid says
Fold and put away the laundry! Or is that two things??
Our latest foster dog Mia has taken up duties as a dishwasher…

I wish Stuart would clean his own cat fur off my furniture…that’s 5 minutes of my life I would love to have back daily.
Katie says
I’d have my kitty clean her own litter box!! 🙂 It’s the one chore I hate to do.
