Create – #52Snapshots

This week’s 52 Snapshots of Life theme is create. I decided this was the prefect reason to finally put into action a little DIY project I’d been meaning to try for Sadie’s entertainment – I created a doggie ball pit. Actually I created two ball pits, as Sadie wasn’t really comfortable with my first attempt.

I began with a laundry hamper. I filled it with all of Sadie’s ball-shaped dog toys, along with some other balls I found around the house. Then I put Sadie inside. She was a little scared at first, like she couldn’t quite find her footing among all the balls. She didn’t really sniff around or play like I imagined she would. She just sat down and stared at me. I played catch with her a little while she sat in the laundry basket ball pit, and she did seem to enjoy that experience. But overall the laundry basket version of a ball pit just wasn’t working for my pup.

So I went back to the drawing board, so to speak. I got out the playpen I had for Sadie when she was a puppy. I poured all the balls into the playpen and let Sadie inside. She immediately started wagging her tail like crazy and ran around trying to sniff each individual ball. Although I didn’t have enough balls to fill up the playpen as much as I envisioned, I think Sadie is happier as a result. She feels safe and comfortable being able to walk among the balls, instead of having to stand on them or push through them. She loves running into the pit and digging through the balls until she finds one she feels like playing with. I think she sees the playpen ball pit as a kind of walk-in toy box. So clearly my creation didn’t turn out exactly like I planned, but I think Sadie still appreciates my efforts.

Joyful – #52Snapshots

So I’ve tried all week to come up with some joyful photos of Sadie for this week’s 52 Snapshots of Life Challenge. She looked kinda happy when I gave her a treat. She looked more relieved than happy when I came home from the store. She looked temporarily happy when I gave her a new toy. But only one thing makes her face light up with pure joy – catching one of her little squeaky balls. Sorry if I sound like a broken record, always talking about her obsession with this toy, but I just want to give an honest idea of life here with Sadie. And in all honesty, playing catch and taking photos of Sadie everyday brings more joy to both our lives than anything else.

Gingerbread Catch

With the holiday season at an end, Sadie and I have been slowly working on putting away all of our Christmas decorations. I absolutely love decorating for the holidays, but I try to put off un-decorating for as long as possible. So in the spirit of procrastination, I decided Sadie should have one last hurrah before we put away her Gingerbread House. Here are some of the highlights from our game of Gingerbread catch:
