Sadie

My dog, Sadie, loves LOVES to be petted- scratched behind her ears, rubbed on her belly. It doesn't matter. In fact, to get your attention, she will sit to be petted. And if you are standing, she has this annoying habit of sticking her face in your.....well, you know.....to get your attention.

It's led to quite the inapproprite conversation. And also awkward moments.

My roomie and I had a group of about fifteen people over for lunch on Sunday. After we ate, I let Sadie out of her crate to socialize. She made the rounds around the room, asking everyone to pet her by sitting quietly by their feet, maybe nudging their hand a little bit. She stopped by one of our friends, and promptly began digging her entire face into his lap.

Awkward.

I poured myself a glass of wine.

My friends are now making inappropriate comments, and laughing hysterically, while I am hiding in the kitchen drinking wine. Two other girls, who up until this point have been involved in their own conversation, now want to know what's so funny.....they turn to me and say, "What's so funny?"

The entire room goes silent.

I pour myself another glass of wine, and put the dog trainer on speed dial.
