Sadie Turns Three

January 20, 2011 by Julie 99 Comments

One day we started talking,
On a walk out by a lake,
Should we get a dog?
Is this a task we can undertake?

It can’t be that hard,
Let them out to pee and poo,
Fill their bowl with water,
And some healthy doggie food

We waited with anticipation,
For our puppy to arrive,
We knew we’d call her Sadie,
And soon she was by our side

Baby Sadie

"Come In Close For the Good Stuff, Mama."

Now by our side we always find her,
A “velcro dog” through and through,
Do you have to use the bathroom?
Well, Sadie’s coming too!

"Wait Fo' Meee!"

Raising puppy Sadie wasn’t easy,
Casualties were designer pumps and a coffee table,
But ask us if we can imagine life without her,
And we’ll tell you we’re not able

Three, Oh... Is the Magic Number. Yeah it is!

Today she turns three years old,
She now has some white fur on her chin,
But every day we wake up with this dog,
We know an adventure is about to begin

"I'm Part Fish!"

"You Don't Have to Say It. I Know I Look Good."

Her energy level is unsurpassed,
Not even the Energizer Bunny can compete,
She’s a crazy nut-job doggie,
Generous with kisses and fast on her feet

"Zoooooom!"

She likes to cuddle up at night,
And waits for us to tuck her into bed,
Sometimes she thinks our pillows…
Are meant for her head

"What Are You Waiting For, Guys? Get in Here!"

"Yo."

Sadie loves her toys,
And thinks that you should too,
She’ll bring them to you one by one,
Until you throw one across the room

She can sit, stay, shake and lie down,
Even fetch a ball or two,
But bring that ball right back?
Well now the joke’s on you!

"See That Ball There? Go On... Pick it Up..."

"Muhahaha! I Don't Think So!"

Sadie is a true comedian,
And makes us laugh with her antics,
She runs into glass doors,
And chases laser pointers, feeling frantic

"I Love to Smile. Smiling is My Favorite."

She also senses when you’re sad,
And cuddles up real close,
Placing her front paws on your shoulders,
Reaching up on her tip toes

"A Hug Would Look Great on You!"

A hug from Sadie is like nothing else,
She makes us smile every day,
This dog has captured our hearts,
In an undeniable way

"Shake What Yo' Mama Gave Ya!"

A Little Love for My Love

Happy 3rd Birthday to Sadie!

    Happy Birthday, Sadie!
    These pictures are all so precious but my absolute favorite is the 3rd one! I wish they could stay puppies forever!

    Also, I just wanted to share that I take more pictures of my dog than anything else, which is saying a lot since us food bloggers take lots of pictures of our food 🙂

    Sadie sounds just like my pups. Well one of them at least! We have a pointer (fast like sadie) and a chubby golden retriever (slow like a slug). Happy Birthday Sadie!

    I know you mentioned before that Sadie is smaller in person than she looks on pictures — you know, on that 2nd to last picture you can really tell she’s not that big!

    Too adorable!

    I’m in love with this. So, so sweet, Julie!

    My baby Chloe can’t figure out why you not only don’t want her in the bathroom with you, but why on EARTH no one wants to shower with her.

    This is so sweet, Julie! Happy birthday to Sadie. 🙂 My dog Riley barges into the bathroom while I’m busy in there and just rests his head on my legs and stares at me. It’s bizarre but I think it’s pretty cute, haha.

    You know you adore your dog when…you write poems and songs about them! Sometime I will have to share the “I wanna be a padoodle” song written about our standard poodle, Chip (sung to the tune of “I wanna be a Producer” from the Producers). 🙂 Happy birthday, Sadie–that’s one lucky pooch!
