YourDesignerDogBlog: The Adventures of Sadie the Yorkipoo
This flashback photo is one of my all-time favorite Sadie photos. In it my little puppy is all curled up, waiting patiently at my feet for me to finish my work. I love how her irresistible puppy eyes are looking up at me, asking if it’s time to go home and play yet. Continue reading

This flashback photo shows Sadie, my Yorkipoo, as the stereotypical designer dog.
What is a designer dog?
When some people hear about designer dogs, they picture celebrities’ little pampered pooches, wearing clothes most people can’t afford and snapping and yapping at anyone who comes near them and their owner.

She can lay down and be nice and comfy with a soft place to rest her chin, but still have full range of motion with her head so she doesn’t miss any action going on around her. Continue reading

This week’s Flashback Friday picture comes from Sadie’s first day at my office. I had a pink puppy playpen setup for her with all kinds of new toys in it to keep her busy. As I write this post while I’m at work, Sadie is sleeping under my desk. She’s so well behaved now that we don’t need the playpen and the distractions to keep her busy. Whenever I look at this picture it makes me smile. Continue reading
