Sadie: A Future Pig?

September 27, 2010 by Julie 41 Comments

Look what I found at PetSmart when I took Sadie to get her nails clipped after work today…

Doggie Halloween costumes!

I wanted to wait to purchase Sadie’s Halloween costume with Ryan, but I have a feeling this one may be the winner:

pork 030
Not only is the costume pink and totally adorable, but Sadie actually has a thing for pigs. Her first toy was a stuffed pig and her grandmas have added to her pig collection.

Puppy Sadie flash back…

She was the cutest lil’ puppy in the world!

Unfortunately for Sadie, this particular trip to PetSmart was not all fun and games.

We had business to attend to.

Sadie’s nails were in desperate need of clipping. Nail clipping and Sadie simply do not mix.

Get me outta here!!!

Luckily, we can turn her over to the people at PetSmart and within 10 minutes we have our dog back sans talons.

While I waited for Sadie, I visited the other animals and had to pry myself away from the kittens. They were so stinkin’ cute!

I thought Sadie would be done sooner than she was, so I wasted time creating this Where’s Waldo picture for you guys:

Where’s Julie?

Okay, so I wasn’t exactly well camouflaged… 😉

Eventually Sadie was done and in a much better mood! She wanted to sniff and explore, so we spent some time wandering around the store before stopping by the puppy training class to say hello.

Sadie actually graduated from the puppy training class at PetSmart about two and a half years ago.

She’s a good little shaker. 😀

Dinner

With clipped nails and wagging tails (Sadie, not me), we headed home to get crackin’ in the kitchen.

On the menu this evening was Hormel peppercorn pork tenderloin with roasted cauliflower and zucchini.

Ryan picked up the pork at the grocery store yesterday and we both thought it had a ton of potential. It smelled fantastic as it was cooking in the oven.

Unfortunately the end result was way too salty for me. I ate my portion, but wouldn’t buy this tenderloin again.

At least the veggies were great! Ya can’t go wrong with simple roasted vegetables.

I’m off to polish off the second half of yet another cookie from my bridal shower. These things are the JAM!

Sleep well tonight, friends!

    Sadie is precious!!!! Vizslas are the cutest puppies in the world. What? I’m not biased or anything 😉
    But for real, Sadie was such a cutie!

    I want Koda to be a lion… I just want to get a big furry mane for her to wear, and that would be all she’d need 🙂

    Sadie was the cutest puppy! I can’t believe she was so tiny.

    We took our pup to PetSmart puppy training classes a few years ago, too. They did a great job of teaching her the basics, and she can still do all the tricks. 🙂

    Sadie is such a cutie!! I really want to get Cody a Halloween costume – we got him a Christmas outfit last year, but he wasn’t exactly a fan. I’m definitely willing to try it again though! 🙂

    Sadie is a cutie. My grandpa used to have a golden retriever named Sadie–she was a sweetie. I usually go with the unseasoned Hormel original pork loin, but I actually have a pre-seasoned one in the freezer. I think they are simple for a quick fix supper without requiring too much prep work.

    Oh my goodness, Sadie’s puppy photos… what a cute little girl! I have been wanting a puppy for a while, and am gonna have to start bugging the boyfriend again.
    I have a weakness for pet costumes… we may or may not have a special rubbermaid tote full of them. My dog may or may not have a Marilyn Monroe wig, a princess outfit and a raincoat with hood. And the cat has a crab hat.

    There are these pork chops that my family buys every once and a while that small delicious but are always so salty. It’s a disappointing feeling because they smell so good!

    Sadie would definitely make a cute pig. And I also know the feeling of desperately needing to get the talon’s trimmed down…my lab’s nails are lethal…he doesn’t understand the weapon he has! Your dinner looked very yummy…sorry it was too salty for ya!

    I need to look into getting a costume for Mav, but I don’t know if he’d let me put it on him!

    love love LOVE the Sady post/puppy pics. As an FYI, Target and Old Navy (!) have tons of doggie Halloween costumes, too. I tried the Old Navy Piggy costume on my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Cady (pronounced like Sadie with a C) but it was too big 🙁
