Consorting with a Canine


first time meeting Saabreen


A while ago I posted on Facebook what I've learned from Saabreen being in my life.
And it got me thinking how much more I could put on that.... and then next thing you know, I felt a blog post coming on (it's kinda similar to a cold coming on- sneezing, headache, scratchy throat..... you know....)

So I over the past few weeks I have compiled a list of 50 things I have either learned about life or things about Saabreen.







1- All food is her food- whether it's on the table, on the the dash of your car, or in the very reachable hands of a 2 year old.
2- Never yawn without covering your mouth.
3- Crayons must taste amazing.
4- If potty training a puppy is this hard- don't ask for my help training your child.
5- Don't try to exercise with your dog- not even running (unless... you like the feeling of an arm coming out of socket or a sit up full of slobber).
6- Gravity works harder with a cone of shame on.
7- There is nothing quite like cuddling with your puppy in front of a fire with a good book.
8- Saabreen cheats on staring contests.
9- Bree has perfected the look of innocence.
10- No matter how much you love someone- picking up their poop is never fun or easy.
11- Saabreen's hugs are almost as good as little kid hugs.
12- If at first you don't succeed- try again when mom isn't looking.
First night at her new home
13- Saabreen makes a good excuse to get out of most anything.
14- If it is pink (and squishy), it must, therefore, belong to Bree.
15- Praying is a great time to get a drink.
16- When mom gets her mean voice on........... run.
17- Saabreen is super easy to blame for something gone wrong or missing.
18- I call her my kangaroo bunny.
19- Saabreen never laughs at me no matter how horrible I look.
20- And I thought I was lazy when I was tired.
21- Bree is very confident in herself- she is convinced that everyone simply loves her and is dying to get hugs and kisses from her.
22- Spend enough time with someone (Bree) and you start to look like them... or vice versa.
23- Even if you do something in a corner- someone still finds out.
24- Chewing mom's shoes= the longest time out in history.
25- Scary/jump scenes in movies are even worse when your dog jumps.
Saabreen's first Christmas
26- You can tell when she's leaping in her sleep and when she's just running by the twitching of her paws.
27- Apparently I'm not the only one that *loves* Dove chocolate.
28- Saabreen has learned- very, very quickly- that mom is not a morning person.29- "Gentle" means kisses.
30- When mom has a cold- no one sleeps well.
31- She tends to need to ask my permission to obey someone else. (i.e. when Mike is helping train her to stay, she has to look to me for approval first)
32- I always know when I put too much perfume on when she sneezes three times.
33- It is possible to watch people at the top of  the stairs using the mirror at the bottom of the stairs.
34- Mom's pillows are warmer.
35- If mom starts talking really nice and in her "wittle cute lovermuffin" voice......... run.................. it probably means it's bath time or something equally as unpleasant.
36- Saabreen is the ultimate bossy butt..... even with dogs twice her size.
37- Why eat dog treats when you can get human food?
38- Saabreen is one of the few people that can make me smile in the morning.
39- The dog in the window likes to play and loves Bree kisses.
40- It is possible to run too fast down the stairs.
41- Saabreen will find the most annoying place to lick you when you are grumpy- such as your ear.
42- Never make eye contact when in trouble, then you can pretend that you don't hear them- even if they are one foot away.
43- Blowing your nose is pretty scary.
44- It's annoying when I do my devotions late at night- at least so Saabreen tells me -because I apparently talk out loud.

45- Tissues, paper towels, napkins, and an entire roll of toilet paper are way too much fun to tear up.
46- Bree is kinda like a bagpipe- the more you squeeze the more the noise comes out.
47- And I thought I slept weird.
48- Saabreen will actually whack you if you tickle her feet.
49- Simple math:  Just bathed clean white fur + chocolate milk + blue cotton candy ice cream + 2 freshly markered hands + lasagna + 1 cup of cherry pop + 1 sand box + 2 muddy days + brightly colored kid lip gloss + 1 Nathaniel + 2 sisters to help =  1 multicolored Bree + 1 longer bath time + 1 hand hitting a forehead
50- Bree blends in with the snow..... quite well.

My kind of New Years kiss...
And this was all learned in just 10 weeks....... wow- how time flies.
Loving my Sabreenser girl,

Ti-Ti
