Another Giveaway!!!

For all you treat lovers out there (aka anyone with a dog!!!)...

The lovely people at Cesar sent us a box full of goodies recently! We were super surprised and excited (as we weren't expecting a package). Sadie was even more excited when I opened the box to find these:

They sent us several bags of these 10-calorie treats, in both the Rotisserie Chicken and Filet Mignon flavors. You can find out more about them here.

And since Sadie is only one tiny doggie, we wanted to share the wealth and have a giveaway for these extra bags we have!!!

All you have to do is comment, and you'll be entered. In about a week, I'll pick TWO winners to receive a fun package in the mail.

Good luck!!! :)

The Sounds a Fatty Hears

It's true. My Sadie is a bit of a fatty. Haha. It's a very good thing that the weather is finally getting nicer, because she needs to get to the dog park and run more! I've tried taking her on some runs with me around the neighborhood, but she poops out pretty quickly. Sure, it could be those short little legs...or the fact that she runs like a bunny. I mean, that must be tiring! But still, she needs to get in shape!

I've noticed lately that she has become far too conditioned to the sounds of food in the house. She could literally be passed out on my bed or the couch, in a deep sleep, but if that fridge opens, the ears perk up and off she goes to find out what treat may be making its way into her belly! She doesn't even hesitate. She's off and running.

And if you pick up a bag of chips, watch out! These are her kryptonite! That crinkle of the bag is music to her ears, and she hauls ass, no matter where she is or what she is doing. It's actually rather amusing sometimes.

And of course, Sadie knows the words "Are you hungry?" or "Do you want dinner?" Her ears perk up and she starts panting. And if we are outside for a walk, she speeds up because she knows there is food in her future! Oh Sadie, my little fatty :)

The Night of Two Dinners

As I’ve mentioned before, Sadie and I are living with my aunt and uncle (and their two cats) right now. Things are going great there, and Sadie really loves them both. My aunt is a teacher, so she gets home a lot earlier than I do, which is nice for Sadie...so she doesn’t have to wait as long to go out and eat. Some nights, however, my aunt has things to do after school. Last night was one of those nights. But luckily it was an “early” day at work, and I got home around 6. When I arrived home, Sadie was at the door waiting for me, which meant my aunt stopped home before she went out again. Sadie stays in my room while I’m at work. I’m sure she wouldn’t do anything bad, to the cats or the house, but it just gives the animals their own “alone” time. Plus, it keeps Sadie from eating the cats’ food and/or poop! Haha.

When I walked in, I didn’t see a note or anything from my aunt. I looked at the cats’ bowls, and they were empty. Then I saw that Sadie’s bowl was still on the floor. (We usually pick it up if she is done with eating for the day.) So, I thought no one had been fed. I figured my aunt came home, took Sadie out, and left again. So I fed the cats, and then fed Sadie. Everyone ate like they were starving. I guess I shouldn’t have assumed they hadn’t eaten. Maybe I could have waited for my aunt to come home...but I wasn’t sure what time that would be.

I’m sure you all see where this story is going...my aunt came home and I asked her if she fed the animals before she left. “Of course I did!” Oh, crap. Hahaha. You know Sadie and the cats were thinking, “Man, she’s stupid! Look, if we give her this sad, pathetic face, she’ll think we haven’t eaten! And we’ll get more food!!!!” Yeah, well, it worked. My little chubby corgi got TWO dinners last night. And man did she have to go to the bathroom this morning hahaha. Around 8 am, she decided she would just sit and stare at me until I woke up. Good times.

I’ve asked my aunt to leave a note if another situation like this comes up haha. Just to be on the safe side!
