Sades keeps watch
The girls sure know how to cause a commotion. And they’ll take every opportunity to do so…
The girls are fairly jealous of one another, to say the least. They have to do everything together. When it comes to walks, they go together with Dad. But, when it comes to their “private” moments (aka. trips to the “outhouse”), they go on their own, no pun intended.
But, they don’t like being apart. It’s as if they think they’re missing out on something or one will get preferential treatment. Come on, girls! We all love you equally!!!!
Bianca loves to tease Sadie
But, the routine goes like this:
One goes out and the other keeps watch at the door–to ensure there is no monkeying, or doggy-ing, around out there. Then, when Yanca comes back in, the ruckus ensues…barking, yelping, scratching at the door (of course while Bianca just sits teasing Sadie at the door…oh, sisterly love).
Now, Yanca keeps close tabs on Sadie
And Yanca is no better. When Sades goes out, it’s the same deal–just the barking is a bit more high pitched upon Sadie’s return.
We think Yanca returns the behavior because she mocks and imitates Sadie’s every move. She’s like the little sister following big sis around. Man, no wonder my older sister tortured me. I must have been annoying as sin!
The bows. She doesn’t look very happy. They make her look so ladylike. The minute she attacks Sadie and bites her on the scruff of her neck…that image flies right out the window.
I always thought dressing up dogs and pets was a bit silly, but I must admit, when Yanca (her nickname) came home from the groomer with these bows in her ears, I almost keeled over laughing. Too cute! Because it DOES NOT fit her persona (or dog-sona?)
People have certain styles and dress in certain ways, which fit their personalities. I’m the J.Crew- wanna- be- but- can’t- afford- it- so- find- look-alikes- in- Target type. I’m not sure about your dog, but I wish we would “dress” our pets in styles, which fit them and not us.
If I had to dress Sadie, I’d probably put her in a plain, white tee and definitely jeans. she’s laid back and comfortable.
And Yanca? She’d be in a football helmet and cape. Weird, but you can probably picture her storming through and leaping around the house now!
What’s your dog’s fashion sense?

Bianca Louise
Yes, this is Suddenly Sadie. But, I feel so guilty leaving Bianca out of the mix.
I am the proud aunt of a little Wheaten Terrier (Wheaten Terror is more like it), Bianca.
We all like to refer to her as a “junk yard dog”. Why? Because she seems to drag in each and every twig, branch, leaf, and gosh knows what else into the house. After each walk, you end up pulling something out of her mess we call fur. No matter how much we brush and primp the poor girl, she’s always a wreck!!
One thing we do to help keep the place clean at least, is wipe down her paws/dirt sponges when she comes into the house.
My tip of the day (aka. the advice of mom and dad)? Keep a towel next to the door you use most to take the dogs out. When they come in, just wipe down their paws (especially in winter so they don’t lick off salt…that can be really bad for them!).
And the best part? My dad is trying to make Bianca bi-lingual. He’ll ask for her paws in English and in Russian. And although we think Bianca is one beer short of a six pack (or whatever the saying is…she’s NUTS!) she answers to both!!!
Bianca can be sloppy, but with dogged determination, she can be a total smartie pants.
