Sadie the Happy Dog's Morning

[macybean]

I love labs and, of course, Sadie in particular. She has got to be one of the most naturally happy dogs I've ever met. She didn't have a great life before I met her, but she was happy even when I took her in.

This was Sadie's morning, according to her (at least, here's what I think she was thinking):

Mom's up! Yes! Oh, my goodness, let's get going!! Wonderful. Great, she's stopping by the bathroom! I love this place. Hi, Mom! Hi, Mom!! Good Mooooorrrnnnii nnng! We're going outside? Yes! Terrific, I love the outdoors! And I don't have to wear my leash! Even better! Oh, my goodness, the door is opening! Wow! The smells... okay, find the right place, find the right place... Woot! There it is! I love going potty! Stairs! I love stairs! Up, up, up... Mom! Look! Down, down, down... Yes! It's sunny. I love this! Inside? Okay... Water?! You're giving us water? My favorite! This is a great day! Oh, we're going for a walk?! Wonderful! My leash! Yes! Bugs! I love bugs! What a wonderful walk, it's just us! Oh, there are some people! Yes, people! And a dog! Could this get any better?! The mail? You want to get the mail?! Fantastic! I'll stop! Sure, what now? Back inside? Great, I love going inside! Maybe I can get Riley to wrestle me-I love to wrestle. Mom's making breakfast! Terrific! Breakfast! This is the best day!

I think pretty much everything in my slog dog's life is punctuated with an exclamation point. This is her normal, happy look:

Riley, in contrast, was likely thinking something like this:

Ugh, we're getting up. I'm tired... Okay, I'm up. Wait? You're not up. Let me whine a bit to make sure you get up. Great, you're up! Let's go. We have to stop by the bathroom? Well, okay, as long as you pet me. Outside, good. I like going outside. A walk! Yes, good, but I hate this gentle leader. Pet me, Mom. People! Someone to pet me more! A dog! Great! Mom, can we go inside? I think I'm finished walking. Yes! We're going inside. Pet me, pet me. Yes, I love being pet. Oh, geez, Sadie wants to wrestle again... Alright, I think I can muster the energy. Hey, this is kind of fun...

Riley is a happy dog, but he's much more moody and his neediness is more out there in the open for everyone to see. LOL I love their different personalities. They crack me up.

Sadie reminds me of Kitana. She's a happy go lucky girl who is always excited about everything! Kiah is complete opposite. She's very serious and her motto is if I have to do it I guess I will. Just give me a few seconds to decide if it's worth it or not. Gotta love dogs!!!
