Is Obsession Contageous?

As you all know by now, Sadie is completely obsessed with her little squeaky balls. Every night, if she’s in possession of a functioning squeaker, Sadie will squeak constantly for an hour or two. She’ll run around the house, squeaking, rolling, dropping, and chasing that ball until she’s exhausted. She also tries to get me involved in the process, giving me the ball to throw, asking me to play catch, losing the ball under furniture so I have to come rescue it, etc. After months of this cycle, I have realized that the quickest way to tire Sadie out and get her to stop squeaking for the night is to play catch with her for as long as possible. And during these nightly games of catch, I’ve developed an obsession of my own. I can’t seem to stop taking pictures of Sadie catching the ball. I just love the way these action shots look. When I get photos ready for this blog, I rename them with a description and number, and right now I am up to catch photo number 43. And those are the photos good enough for the blog, so you cam imagine how many hundreds of others I’ve taken to get 43 awesome pictures. So it would seem that Sadie’s squeaky ball obsession is contagious enough to infect me with my own obsession.

Is 28 Balls Too Many?

I found out this week that the pet store is discontinuing Sadie’s absolute favorite toy. Remember the squeaky basketball from my Squeaky Obsession posts? Sadie absolutely adores these squeaky balls, but only when they can squeak. Once she breaks the squeaker, the ball is dead to her and she goes looking for a new one. So to keep my pup happy, I wanted to have a stash of balls to give her a new one whenever she needs it.

Flashback Friday #15

In this flashback photo my adorable little puppy is posing with one of her butterfly toys. I must confess that I’m a little obsessed with all things butterfly. I don’t actually like the bugs themselves, but I love everything and anything with a butterfly design or in a butterfly shape. So when I was puppy shopping in preparation for bringing Sadie home the first time, naturally I sought out every dog-related butterfly product I could find. Sadie must have had at least ten butterfly toys waiting for her when she arrived. Unfortunately not a single butterfly lived past those first few weeks. Turned out my new puppy loved eating stuffed toys, including butterflies. I still can’t help but buy Sadie butterfly accessories like collars and dresses whenever I come across them, but I’ve learned my lesson with the stuffed toys. All stuffed animals now live well above Sadie’s reach. Occasionally you’ll find her staring longingly up at a stuffed animal, whining at me to get it down for her. But since I know she’ll only play with it for five minutes and then start to eat it, I now skip ahead and go straight to the eating: I distract with a healthy snack.

How Did My Ball Get There?


Thanks for liking us! Sadie and I really appreciate the love!

Sadie’s squeaky basketball obsession has finally calmed down somewhat over the course of the past week. It’s still her go to toy when greeting someone at the door, but she doesn’t obsess about it on her own as much anymore. However, she still enjoys my hide and seek mischief with that particular toy. This time I hid the ball in plain sight and sat on the couch a foot away from it, and it still took Sadie ten minutes to realize where I put it. And then another ten minutes to try to figure out how to get it. I’m really enjoying being the mischievous one for a change.

The Obsession Continues – Some Silly Solutions

 


Thanks for liking us! Sadie and I really appreciate the love!

 

On this Mischief Monday, I’m going to confess that I’ve been the mischievous one lately. Last week I talked about Sadie’s Not So Temporary Obsession with her mini squeaky basketball. Well the obsession continues (day 7 if you’re counting) and instead of letting it drive me crazy, it’s driving me toward mischief. I was tired of Sadie constantly knocking the ball under furniture or into hard to reach areas, so I decided to create some distractions.
