A Few of My Favorite Things...

Things I love:

Waking up to a cold nose on my cheek.

Coming home to a wiggly bunny butt.

Not being able to move in bed because a warm little corgi is laying on my legs.

Wondering where Sadie is when I’m laying on the couch watching TV, and finding her curled up on our bed because she’s just too tired.

Watching Sadie spend five minutes “making her bed” and curling up, and then getting up three seconds later to find a better place to sleep.

The fact that Sadie knows my routine and goes and lays on our bed when I am washing my face before bed.

The smell of puppy paws.

Sadie constantly looking back at me when I’m walking her to make sure I’m still there.

The sound of a squeaky ball squeaking incessantly in the background when I’m talking to my mom on the phone.

Sadie pulling my comforter off of me if I don’t get out of bed quickly enough in the morning.

When Sadie scans the dog park looking at all the humans until she sees me and her face lights up (seriously!).

The cute doggie sighs and moans Sadie makes every time she moves in bed, just to let me know she’s still there.

Unconditional love from the cutest little girl I’ve ever met.

Love Is...

To me, love is...

Corgi ears.





Corgi paws.





A corgi nose.





To me, love is owning a dog, a lifelong companion. There will never be a human that will love me as unconditionally as Sadie loves me. She doesn't care if I'm skinny or fat, pretty or ugly. She doesn't care what I wear, or how my hair looks. I can leave for 5 seconds or 5 hours, and be greeted with the same excitement and passion. I've never had great luck with relationships. "Love" to me was heartache, tears, pain. That's all I ever saw growing up. I was never someone that needed to be with someone. I'm fine being alone. I never really felt like I could truly love someone, without being scared they would ultimately break my heart. I usually ended relationships before that could ever happen. Then Sadie came into my life. She showed me what love really is. I'm not sure if I will love someone else the way I love her. But I think maybe now it's possible. I would do anything for her. She is my best friend. And she is the definition of love for me.




I found this through Betty's blog and although I strongly dislike Valentine's Day (it's a made up holiday!), I wanted to do this. Because it doesn't have to do with Valentine's Day in my opinion. If you'd like to participate as well, go HERE.
