Sadie, the Golden Retriever puppy, was only ten weeks old when Paulina Perrucci Photography took her photos in June in Gilroy, California. Sadie is adorable, and no matter what kind of day you are having, it is about to get better.
From Paulina: “These two love birds aren’t letting this global pandemic stop them! Not only did they recently get engaged, start planning a wedding, buy a new home, but they also brought home their first fur baby.”
From Shelly: “It was love at first sight! With everything going on with the virus, most breeders were skeptical about allowing potential owners to see their puppies in person. We were still very eager to adopt, so we found a breeder all the way in St. Louis that had Sadie in a litter. After countless photos and a brief Facetime call, we decided to fly out to Missouri, pick up our sweet girl, and fly her home to Northern California, where she’s adapted very well to the climate! She loves the warmth and water here- definitely a California girl!
Sadie is the sweetest Golden Retriever pup ever! She’s only been with us for two weeks, but it feels like it’s been forever. Sadie was a quick learner when it came to being potty trained. She already rings her bell anytime she needs to go outside. 
Sadie loves to play with her tennis ball and swim in her kiddie pool. She is always excited to see her cousins because she knows that means playtime!
Sadie loves to cuddle up next to mom and dad on the couch, and nothing calms her down more than watching ‘Baby Shark’ all night. She also loves going on long walks then getting carried home by Mommy. We can’t wait to take her on the many trails we have here in Northern California! Sadie is an avid San Francisco 49ers fan and has a jersey and football toy to prove it. We are so excited to watch our little Sadie grow up!
At ten weeks old, she was already so smart and so silly. Anyone that comes into contact with her can tell she’s such a fun and loving spirit. She absolutely loves to give puppy kisses! We’re so excited to get to see this beautiful girl grow up!”
I was in touch with Paulina last week and asked about the fire. She told me that although Sadie and her family were on an evacuation warning, thankfully they never had to evacuate. If you would like to help with the recovery from the SCU lightning fire, you can donate directly via Google.

Sadie is precious! And, you’re right! Anytime I visit your blog and look at the cute dog photoshoots, my day seems a little brighter.
Thanks Pam!
OMG, she is the cutest little thing ever! I’m already in love. What a cutie pie.
Ohh my goodness how cute is Sadie, I love how they have bought her to be part of their engagement photos!
So sweet. I am glad they found the right dog for them and that she fits in. I’m glad they didn’t have to evacuate!
These photos are so beautiful. It was wonderful to learn more about this family.
What a cutie! Love how you captured the beautiful light and sweet family.
Saddie is so adorable! We had a golden retriever when I was little. My aunt was a breeder, so we got her as soon as she was ready to come home, I believe I may have been 5 or younger. Obviously she isn’t still around today, as I am now almost 39, but she was my favorite family doggy we had ever and when we get our own home I plan to get one, because they’re so cute, loving and the perfect family dog.
Aww Sadie is so precious! I’m glad her and her family are safe and sound. My heart goes out to everyone living in that area!
Beautiful family and engagement! I love your work!
What a beautiful dog. These are all good pictures.
OMG! How lovely they are. All three! You can feel the love that is in the air!
Sadie is really cutie pie. Love their family. it is picture perfect.
Golden retrievers are my absolute favorite dog breed! You totally captured this one’s cuteness!
Puppy love is just shmooshy! I love all the cuddles and kisses.
The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world – and between us: That’s no wonder! Its looks, golden fur, lovable nature, and innate intelligence make the Goldie the perfect family pet. What a cutie!
