Imagine walking into a home filled with the smell of puppy breath and the pitter-patter of tiny paws. At @copperridgelabs, this is just a regular afternoon, but for one young pup named Sadie, the situation recently got a little crowded.
Sadie was the calm standout from her litter — the keeper puppy. Seeing her visibly unsure around this new batch of puppies in this video feels both ironic and very real. Being a young Labrador herself, she is still figuring out her “big sister” role, especially when she is suddenly being treated like the lead singer by a very needy fan club.

When the video starts, we see Sadie sitting right in the middle of a puppy enclosure. She is looking completely lost while the new litter swarms her. The text on the screen captures her expression best: “Mom, why am I here?” It is that classic look of a teenager being asked to babysit a group of toddlers.
Two of the smallest puppies are basically glued to her. They’re sniffing and licking her jowls while Sadie just sits there, seemingly resigning herself to her fate. As her owner jokingly noted in the caption, “Sadie secretly loves the puppies,” even if her initial “seriously, they’re annoying me” face says otherwise.
Not long after, her body language starts to relax. The footage cuts to Sadie finally giving in and lying down on their level for some snuggling. One of the little ones even tries to nip her ear, and instead of moving away, she just settles in. She handles it the way you’d hope — calm, unbothered, and far more patient than she needs to be. Towards the end of the clip, she’s up on her feet with the whole litter following her around like she is a rock star. The screen text hilariously changes to: “Alright, we can keep them.”
The video has already got over 1,400 likes, with commenters pointing out just how patient Sadie is in the clip. She might have started off unsure, but she clearly realized that having a tiny entourage isn’t so bad after all.
