Sepia Saturday – the Snowsuit

Sadie loves playing and sniffing around out in the snow. She does not, however, enjoy wearing her snowsuit. I remember hating when my Mom made me wear a snowsuit when I was a kid. But I understand wanting to make sure your child is safe and warm. During the first snowfall of the season I usually put Sadie in her snowsuit and bring her outside. I want her to enjoy the snow, but I also want to protect her from the clumps of snow that get stuck to her fur if her belly isn’t fully covered. Sadie sniffs around for a little while, but then sits down and starts giving me the sad puppy eyes. Inevitably I give in and take off her snowsuit, allowing her to run around and have fun without any hindrances. I love watching her have fun playing in the snow, but I do not enjoy the hour afterward I spend trying to get the cold, wet clumps out of her hair.

Let It Snow

We’re coming to the end of January now and here in this part of NJ we have hardly seen any snow. But apparently that will change this weekend with the arrival of a big blizzard. I’m honestly looking forward to some good snow fall. Yes, it will be annoying once the cars need to be cleared off and the sidewalks shoveled. But since it’s the weekend, all the manual labor can be scheduled for Sunday, leaving Saturday free to enjoy all the wonderful parts of a snowstorm. Sadie and I can run around and play in the snow. We can build a snowperson or snowdog or snowpenguin. We will definitely play some snowball catch. And when we’re cold and tired we can curl up under a blanket by the window and watch the peaceful flakes fall.

Sweater Bloopers

Today is the first day of a new monthly blog hop called the Pet Blogger Bloopers Round-Up. This should be a really fun event, taking place on the second Friday of each month, where bloggers can share all those silly photos that make you laugh out loud but aren’t usually considered blog worthy. I’m excited to share some of Sadie’s blooper photos and can’t wait for the smiles I know will come from looking at all the other bloggers’ bloopers. Shout out to Christina at The Lazy Pit Bull for creating this awesome way for bloggers to spread some laughter! Today I’m sharing two bloopers and one good photo from my attempts at taking some pictures of Sadie in her little pink sweater. While I’m positive that Sadie hates being cold and wants to be toasty warm whenever possible, Sadie was absolutely positive that this particular sweater was not the answer to keeping warm that day.

Nested

Sadie appears to have turned one of my sweaters into a little nest. Doesn’t she look proud of herself? I can’t say I blame her – it’s a super cozy sweater and it was super cold outside today.

Socks Weather

It’s officially that time of year here in NJ when the sandals must be put away and the socks come out to stay. Sadie is pretty happy about this change in the weather, as you can see by the big grin on her face. She doesn’t actually enjoy wearing socks herself, although she humors me by keeping them on for a while. Sadie is actually smiling about the perfectly comfortable Fall temperatures. Since she’s always wearing a fur coat, it’s way too hot in Summer. But Sadie is a little sensitive to the cold and doesn’t like Winter temperatures too much either. So Fall is the best time of year for Sadie. While I’m mourning the loss of my sandals and grumbling about putting on socks all the time, Sadie is loving nature.
