Happy Birthday, Sadie!!!

Today is my Sadie's birthday!!!! Eleven years ago today, a litter of adorable cocker spaniel puppies was born. Eleven years ago this March, I brought the most beautiful one of those puppies home to live with us. She was so cute and tiny!!! She used her sweet puppy face on Mom and won her over very quickly! She has been and continues to be the best dog ever. Check back later in the week for Sadie's retrospective.

Sadie started her day with her least favorite activity. I made her take a bath on her birthday. I know that was mean, but she really needed it so she would be beautiful and clean for her birthday party. She was mad at me for a while...

Then she got to go for a ride in the car. I dropped her off at Mom and Dad's and went to church. After church, we had Sadie's birthday lunch! Colin came over to pet her. Brenna decided to get in on the act too. Sadie was very sweet and let them both pet her on her back.

After lunch, we had Sadie's birthday cake. Yes, it was real cake. Eggs, oil, sugar, butter. Real cake. She's a special dog. I was trying to show her the cake, but she wouldn't come out from under the dining room table. Mom tried to get her to come out too. Then we realized that we were on the wrong floor. Sadie is very particular about what floor she walks on.


When we realized we were on the wrong floor, we moved to the carpet and she came right over. Silly dog.

She got to eat a piece too!



She was a very happy dog. She got to spend her day with her family, she got to eat cake, and Meredith brought her a box of cookies!!
