I invited grand-dog Sadie onto my lap. With a quick leap, she was there, and neither of us knew what to do next. She did not fit. Knowing this was historic, I asked David to take a photo as he sat on the opposite side of the room. He took a bunch of shots, and this was his vote for the best one of Sadie. I liked it too, because David was reflected in the window behind me.
Sadie knows I do not like to be licked when we are both standing on the floor. Being on my lap was an opportunity she took advantage of. Quick as lightning she had her tongue on my hands, cheeks, and LIPS! Ugh! David caught the action as I tried to avoid that searching tongue. My smile shows I was successful for at least one second.
I will wait until I’m on a sofa before trying that again.
An adorable pair!

Thank you, Suzassippi! I didn’t think anyone noticed I was visiting again. Anne hasn’t taken pics of me for a long time. I miss Rose a lot, but I’m happy here.

She seems like fun. For a dog that is, I still think cats are better. That is a lot of dog though! I think I could pal around with her nicely. Keep warm.

I don’t think Sadie or I want to repeat the lap dog bit. She was too heavy, and she wanted to lick me everywhere. I’ll pet her when she’s curled up in the recliner in my room.

At least the chair didn’t tip backward putting you both on the floor! That’s a lot of dog!

I hadn’t thought of the chair tipping! Son $ picks Sadie up all the time, and he makes it look so easy. He holds her on the floor and on a chair. I’ll wait for a sofa next time.

HAH!
Your picture instantly reminded me of one we have of Elizabeth’s dad, Tony, entertaining Saami, 110 pounds of Malamute who never quite understood she’d grown past puppy size. good one!

Sadie doesn’t appear big or heavy when she is on the floor. $ picks her up all the time and holds her on the floor or in a chair. It’s not as easy as he makes it look! I can’t imagine a Malamute underestimating her strength and weight. Overpowering!!

I think I’m #4 on Sadie’s love list. She adores her owner, Rose, and she will do anything to be with son John $. David loves her so much that she has to love him back. #4 is a good spot for me.

I could live without doggie kisses. Moving back protests me much of the time. I’m not sure what the score is, but Sadie gets her licks in occasionally.

Ha ha – I’ve never been into dog kisses either, even as a child. But Sadie looks determined to pretend to be a dainty lap dog and to dole out doggie kisses whether they are wanted, or the feeling is mutual.

Those are the sweetest pics! Clearly the dog knows love. It’s wonderful seeing images of you on your blog. I also love that what you love about that one pic is that someone else you love is shown in it as well. So much love!! ❤ Beautiful. And fun.
