Every Day is a Sadie Day

 Far Guy says " God gave dogs such sad pleading eyes so they wouldn't starve to death!"

Her blonde shoulders really show up in this photo!

She is always hungry.  Always ready for a treat, always watching for food in the kitchen.   She gets fed 4 times a day with treats in between feedings.  

Soon the Sadie watching reinforcements will be back....the ones that take her for long walks!  

She has not had an accident all the time they have been gone.  She whines a bit at night when I tell her to get on her bed and go to sleep...but after a few minutes she quiets down.  She is happy to see Far Guy in the morning...he makes sure she go outside and goes potty!  Then she comes downstairs and lays next to his chair until Little Elvis and I get up...then she is off and running...stealing shoes...ripping kleenex out of the box...chasing the cat...trying to get water in the shower.  When I am finally dressed we head upstairs cause she is "hungry"  so she eats and lets herself out, comes tearing back in to chase the cat or attack Little Elvis or to chew on something she shouldn't.  Her day has started!   She eats at about 7:30, noon, 5:00 and 8:00.  Eating is the highlight of her day! 

She has  bunch of different toys, she plays ball nicely she doesn't drop the ball  on command but she will bring it near you...I grab her paw and squeeze it and say "hand" and she releases the ball from her mighty jaws!   She has a frisbee and she may like it better playing outside! 

She usually has a morning nap next to my feet, and an afternoon nap.  If I lay on the couch sometimes she lays with her head on me and has a nap...oh she is like a little furnace! 

We play many times a day...with a bit of training thrown in.  She is loosing those puppy teeth one by one and getting her adult teeth!!  She is still a chewer and has lots to chew on...but likes shoes and rugs the best. 

We are looking forward to the big reunion when her people come home!

I can never get enough of Sadie! She's such a sweet dog.

Miss Merry said...

What a sweetie pie!

I love the stories of Sadie. She's just a bigger Zoey! :-) They do many of the same things including not bringing the ball back. Zoey does remember "release" and puts it down but not close to me. I count that as a win! Ha!
She is going to miss you so much when you go home. Have you thought of just staying there, close to the doctors? I know you are a LOT of help to Andy and Jenn.
Blessings,
Betsy

What a schedule she has! You guys are great keeping up with her! In the cold and the winter I'm sure a doggy door is a blessing! She has such sad eyes....what's not to love!

I’ll be glad when Sadie can get outside more. It won’t be long. Also, soon maybe you can go home.

Maebeme said...

Wow, too bad you can't bottle that energy and sell it. Sadie is definitely a mover and shaker, and a cutie to boot. I'm sure the reunion will be exciting for everyone.

It would be difficult to resist those pleading eyes.

I love your Sadie pics and posts.

Henny Penny said...

This is all so cute. If anybody knows dogs it would be you and FarGuy. I laughed all the way through this post, thinking of myself and Andee with her new Lab, Auggie. What a handful we take on. Sadie is adorable. I would love to play with her.

Granny Marigold said...

I wouldn't mind Sadie's meal schedule and 2 naps a day sound good too. She sure sounds like a ball of energy!!

Victoria Zigler said...

Sounds like Sadie is doing great, and a very happy and healthy puppy. Bet she's going to be super excited when her people come home.

Bonnie said...

I sure do enjoy hearing all about Sadie and seeing those pictures! She is so precious and fun. You and Far Guy are good for her and I know she is equally good for the two of you! 💗

Oh she's my kind of dog! Love those eyes

Debi said...

Those eyes! Who could? I bet she's going to be glad to see her people but she will miss you when you go home.

Jacqi Stevens said...

Well, she does have pathetic eyes. And she isn't afraid to use them!

Pauline Persing said...
