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

Capturing Life: from a dog’s POV

Life is a a picture book that we keep in our memories and sometimes we capture them with devices. SNAP, CLICK, CHACHICK and then we share them …whoosh… off they go to make other people who could not be there in our moment smile as if they were actually there.

As a dog with four paws, I rarely get to play with the devices but the two-leggers think I am a wonderful subject for the camera lens. One two-legger will throw the ball as the other one points a device at me. Then they look at the device to see what they got. Often it is just a blur as I am fast like a ninja. We have made a compromise recently that once they get a good shot or two we focus on the BALL and ME ONLY!

I love to see the world in a blur because that means I am running with the wind in my hair and a two-legger chasing me! Thanks for sharing my memories with me and here’s hoping that you have the wind in your hair often!

Love Sadie!

Howl-o-Ween Dog Etiquette

I love it when my people get excited about a day like Halloween, which when pronounced correctly in dog speak is HOWL-o-ween! They buy candy that I can’t have but include me by making dog friendly bits that are special HOWL-fully goodies that I can have. This makes me feel included and not like Charlie Brown who was always getting “rocks”. Of course I have been known to pick up a rock or two when my people aren’t looking.

I suggest you send your favorite four-legged fur pal a Halloween Card. I love to get mail, sometimes I steal my people’s mail so getting a card from the great pumpkin is a special event. This card is an edible, natural rawhide.

Last year I dressed up as a candy corn skeleton, but this year I am taking the advise of one of my ZoomRoom trainers and going as a dust bunny so that all I need to put on is my lovely locks and lay on the floor helping my people clean!

Here are some treats you can make for your treat bag:

Howl-o-ween Pumpkin Oatmeal Spice Dog Bones
(makes about 20 cookies)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup water
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
Directions:
1. Heat up the oven to 375 degrees (let your two-leggers do this)
2. Combine pumpkin, oil, water, and cinnamon in a large bowl, stir well. (I always ask to lick the spoon)
3. Gradually mix in the oatmeal and flour (if you are sensitive to flour you can substitute with Almond flour which is a naturally grain-free Paleo-friendly flour) to form the stiff cookie dough.
4. Roll dough out in 1/4″ thickness and cut with your favorite cookie cutter on a floured surface.
5. Bake on a non-stick cookie sheet for 30-40 minutes.

Have a Happy CHEW on this Howl-o-Ween!

It’s my Birthday and I’ll Bark if I want to.

Another year has come and past and I am happy to report I am still top dog of my household. I have requested my two-leggers let me help them bake. We looked online and I picked out this Red Velvet Wheat-free Cake mix that comes with a bone shaped tin! 

 

I also wanted a candle to blow out. I will not be doing the blowing, as I do not wish to singe my lovely locks but I wanted my candle to be special so we bought these:

None of the doggie candles look like me but I think they are fun.

The day is going to be a Sadie Celebration, my people are not certain of my actual birthday so they picked this one special for me. I of course believe that every day is a Sadie Birthday because everyday is a present I can’t wait to open up. You never know what surprises you might find like a trip to the zoomroom to run, jump and play, a new collar  or finding a toy that has been hiding from you under the sofa. Life is one big present to celebrate with your two-legger by your side.

Here’s wishing everyone a happy everyday! Woof, Sadie

ANTS! in my Puppy Pants

Oh the horror of it! Something happened this month that made my skin crawl. ANTS ANTS ANTS crawling all over my food. It made my people say nasty words that I have never heard before.

We tried everything to fix the problem. The little invaders that look like aliens were hard to combat; I had fun watching the two-leggers march around with spray bottles of equal parts of Windex and Ivory Soap, laying lines of Borax Soap on the patio, placing yeast and sugar traps beyond my reach but in the reach of the ants. The two-leggers were on a mission to rid us of these invaders from another world. The house was washed down with vinegar and lemon soap. All my food and treats were tossed. It caused me quite a scare.

Thank goodness a solution was found for my precious food and treats. The people ordered some special canisters for me to put my kibble, snacks and dog treats in.

 

 

They got these cool canisters from a company called simplehuman. I really like to watch the lids open.

The company also has dog food canisters but for a petite pup like me these kitchen tool canisters worked perfectly. Here’s hoping that your days are all ant-free and fun!

Etch-a-Sadie

 I am my people’s muse.
When they are feeling blue I can make them smile with just one sloppy kiss or a mere wag of my wondrous whirling tail.

Sadie-hol

I inspire them with my colorful imagination:
I bury bones with imaginary dirt all through the house. This often causes the occasional stubbed toe when someone unearths one of my hidden treasures.

Lichten-Sadie

I delight them with my fresh perspective:
I bark at the TV when I see a dog, squirrel or fake Gecko rushing behind the TV speakers to cry for the poor animal to come out and play.

I humor them with my whimsical expressions:
I listen to every word my people say, well almost. My head cocks from side to side as they tell me their most private thoughts. I am a creative therapist; almost anything can be solved by a good game of ball. Funny how throwing a little round object can make them forget all their problems and smile.

Remember your four-legger is a masterpiece that you help mold. Paint everyday a happy one!

Today I sit here thinking of how wonderful my life is and how important it is that all four-leggers get to experience the love that my home surrounds me with. It is because of this I am going to howl out about a four-legged charity fundraiser event where YOU can get involved to help the less fortunate four-legged.

If you live in the Los Angeles area you can come in-person to the wonderful event, or if you live somewhere else just as beautiful there is an online auction to give back the Karma to the Rescues. Here are the d’Tails:

10th Annual Fundraiser
When: October 5th 2013, 6:30pm to 10:30pm

There are going to be some tail wagging fun, my favorite is
a Puppy Kissing Booth!

Hamburger Mary’s Famous Bingo

There will be treats both Vegetarian and Vegan, an open bar and lots of prizes!
They suggest that two-leggers dress up in cocktail attire. Tickets are available online.

If you can’t attend you can still get involved with the online auction:
Bid on great online auction items such as: a trip to Puerto Vallarta, signed Lakers basketballs, great restaurants, Lucky Strike bowling, yoga, and wine tastings at biddingforgood.com/createkarma. Bidding starts on September 20th.

Thank you for reading about this fun event and remember to hug a four-legger today!

As Andy Warhol said in 1968 that “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” I got my short-lived media publicity today! Thank you Jane! Keep up the great stories. 4 paws up and and many wags rating!

A small dog’s POV

I have a bone to pick when it comes to size. I see all the other dogs with their two-leggers doing some astonishing things…

carrying large sticks they find on their walks, jumping in the air catching round flying objects, hanging out car windows with their ears flying and jowls flapping in the wind… it just gets my muzzle twitching green with envy. I am a big girl, in a few months I will be one year old and it finally dawned on me that I might never grow any larger than my current stature. I only weigh in at 4.5lbs and all the other four-leggers in my tricks classes are taller than me…even the puppies!

Speaking of my tricks class…woof… I learned a very useful trick…
the ringing of a bell.

Service Please!

It seems as if this little bell is a service bell that when you ring it, people bring you lots and lots of treats.  What a joy, now I must find a way to take this bell home with us. If I was a larger dog I would just put it in my mouth and carry it out with us to the car.  But no, I am small and must hope that my people decide to give me one of these pretty bells for my birthday. It is so frustrating to be so small.

As I close my little blog today I think of all the privileges I get as a petite pup. I often get to ride in a  dog sling purse…you can get your own at sassypup. This purse sometimes gets me into places that the larger dogs can not go. Hmmm it’s not bad being small. Today’s thought… “Be happy for who you are, it makes you unique.”
