The Christmas Spirit Lives Here: We learn from our pets

Tags

The holidays are here again and everyone is dashing around trying to grab the newest toy or tech gift for the best price and it is EXHAUSTING. Then you come home and find the real meaning of the holidays. It is in a tail wag or a meow at the door. Every day is a holiday for our four-legged pals. Even if you just go into another room and return there is a flurry of thankfulness that is undeniable.

We all need to learn this wonderful holiday spirit that our animals teach us.

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Love Sadie

PS: my mom just opened an Esty store. We are not asking you to buy anything, just go look and give it a thumbs up if you like it. She is so silly about making projects around the house. http://www.artdavinci.shop/shop

Howl-O-ween: the great puppy pumpkin rises again!

@sadiemiki, art, Dogs, fun, Halloween, humor, Life, MIKI, puppy love, trick or treat

SadieMiki sits in a pumpkin. It is preparing for Halloween.

It is that time of year again… when the doorbell rings… again… and again… and again.

What is a BIG (or little) guard dog to do with so many odd creatures of small and medium stature coming to the door? This year we are ready for them! We have devised 2 treat pumpkins at the door. One for the monsters ringing the door and one for the guard dog who after all does deserve a treat for being brave enough to constantly go to the door to see if there is a witch or ghost there.

I think this a very fair way to do it this year. One for you and one or two for me!

Happy Howl-O-ween everyone.
Love SadieMiki

My first Mommy Hair Cut: where’s the bandaids

Tags

dog grooming, Dogs, fun, Grooming, humor, Life, Pets

OK we had our first mommy haircut… Mom has a lot of respect for the groomers after this challenge. 
She tried her best… as you can see my paws and legs are uneven but a good first try. She was unable to get my muzzle area near my eyes done very well as that part scares her.

What we did learn from this experience is that since not going to the groomers my tummy and nose cleared up, I must have been allergic to a product that the groomer was using on me because my nose started to get the dark color back and my tummy got all pink again.

But at one point something horrible happened while we were using the scissors. Mom gave out this big yelp… I thought I had done something wrong. We had to get tons of band-aids… mom had cut her hand instead of my hair… making a smiley face on the outer fleshy part of her left hand. Mom says it wasn’t anything to smile about … we had to glue it back together. I thought maybe that would end mom’s want to give me baths but she seems to be still into baths and beauty treatments.

Have a good day.
Love SadieMiki

The Great Pumpkin has risen | and it’s a 6 pound dog!

This year I am ready thanks to BaxterBoo and their wonderful collection of haute or in this case “haunting” fashion for us four-legged trick or treaters. I wanted to make sure to wear something bright and colorful so people will see me and give me all the extra treats that I deserve this year.

Please forgive my unkept look, my mom is trying to learn how to groom me herself as my groomer and I had a falling out.  So now my lovely locks are a bit uneven. BUT the GREAT PUMPKIN needs only treats to feel beautiful.

Life is like a pumpkin patch… sometimes you fall and become a squash and sometimes you have to just do the math and divide the circumference by its diameter to get a delicious Pumpkin Pi.

Love always
THE GREAT PUMPKIN

Customer Service: Wags and Puppy Kisses

When a company sends a box of goodies just because you have to pay attention. Sadie just loves to get boxes in the mail and I think she can read because when a box comes with the chewy.com logo she gets extra excited.

The mailman had delivered a chewy’s box h=just a few weeks ago and we were not expecting another box. The doorbell rang and off Sadie went to greet whoever might be there. It was the mailman holding a Chewy.com box. Excitement filled the doorway, tails wagged so hard a breezeway was created.

How do you tell a dog that this might be a mistake LOL. As we called customer service to say we think there may be a problem and some other puppy’s box was sent to us by mistake I can see the glares coming my way. “what are you doing on the phone when there is a package for me right here in front of your nose?”
The facts came out … Chewy’s Customer Service announced the box was a gift from them to Sadie! What can you say about kind gestures … they make someone’s day. They brighten up the world. They make everything a little bit happier. I know that it made Sadie’s day fur-sure. Thank you Chewy.com you are the best!
Love
Sadie the Miki

Earth Day… happy birthday Mother Earth

The earth is having another birthday and we are ALL invited. This is a wonderful day for many reasons… the Earth is non-judgemental… she likes everyone which is why she lets us all alike come to her birthday party.

The earth gives us so many beautiful gifts every day like flowers, sunshine and even the air we breathe. She is so nice that we need to give something special for her birthday. I will be joining my two-legged companions on a clean-up mission. We will help clean up some of our local shores and promise to always recycle.

What will you be doing to celebrate Mother Earth’s birthday? Remember she loves us all.

Love
Sadie

Happy Easter: a dog easter basket

Tags

art, Dogs, easter dog, flowers, friends, fun, humor, Life

It is always such a special time of year… spring has finally come making the sun shine bright and the flowers all pop their heads out of the ground… and of course, all the dogs wag their tails a bit more because their two-legged friends are more willing to go outside for a romp around the block.

This year I received two of my very own baskets.
One has this cute little mini-me Sadie inside.
It was made by Denise Thompson https://www.etsy.com/shop/PUGHALLVINTAGE. I really love it.
And one was a BIG surprise sent to me by my IG friend @leashihtzu who put cute little bows inside each sparkly egg. I love colorful bows in my hair! And the colorful Peeps squeak  … which is one of my favorite pastimes. I am quite musical … I can squeak my peeps to any tune on TV. 🙂 Easter is a magical time for family and friends… I hope you are having the most wonderful time with your family and friends.

Every dog needs to have their own Easter basket… did the Easter Bunny give you one?
Love Sadie

Hi… I am the voice of your pet… I want you to know that I LOVE you, you are my hero every day even when you are sad, in a hurry, leaving to go to work or vacation without me. I LOVE YOU unconditionally. So today and every day please remember this.

Remember to give a little extra love to those who do not speak your language but speak only to you unconditionally in the wag or a tail, or the purr of LOVE.
Love Sadie

Unconditional Love : a puppy’s POV

Tags

art, dog, Dogs, fun, humor, Life, love, Pet of the Day, philosophy, puppy love, unconditional love

LOVE comes in all sizes, shapes, and forms. But mom says I have something called “Unconditional Love” and that is the best kind of love you can have.

I looked it up and the definition is:
Unconditional love is caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get for ourselves.

Yes, this totally rings true for me. I Love my people unconditionally. When they leave for just a second… disappearing into another room I am SO HAPPY TO SEE THEM… I wag my tail with such an enthusiasm that my whole body shakes with joy.

I follow them everywhere to make sure they are safe from any predators. Every time they go into the little room called a bathroom I am there to protect them from monsters that may lurk behind the shower curtain or in the mysterious hole called a toilet. (Who knows what is down there!)

My day totally revolves around them and any adventure we might go on.

So remember the next time you see a four-legged creature wagging their tail or purring a song for you that they are giving you the best gift of all called “unconditional love”. We just call it a way of living.

Wag Wag Wag
Sadie
