I’ve said this before, if you hang around someone’s blog long enough you learn things about them. 🙂
I’m a big fantasy fiction buff and one of my favorite reads is Harry Potter.
For years my graduation robe has been worn to every single Harry Potter movie, the night it was released. Before the first half of the Deathly Hallows was released I spent hours making my Phi Theta Kappa honors sash that I wore at graduation into a Gryffindor’s scarf.
Two Christmas’ ago I actually got a wand, but it must have been defective because it won’t do magic. 🙁
Quite frankly I’m really disappointed that I turned out to be a Muggle or am I a Squib?
I’m not really too sure.
There is someone in our household however who has gotten the “Summoning” charm down to a science.
Oh and it works. He has summoned women from clear across the pet store to rush to his side to pet him. Once he has summoned them, that’s when he really turns on the charm.
Yes, he smiles at him.
(Yes, I found my camera!)
We make a Harry Potter sleepover every summer. My Dearest Friend’s dog Blackie plays the role of the Grim. You are SO invited to the next one! And so are the dogs! (Yes, even the crazy one 🙂 )
That’s very cool!!! Do you call Blackie “Sirious” or do you call him the grim? I want to go!!
When we have this summer’s date, I’ll let you know! (and we call HER [yes HER] Sirius.)
I knew the spelling didn’t look right! LOL but I couldn’t remember how to spell it. Are you close to CT?
That is awesome!
Thanks, I think it’s adorable. But then I’m biased. 🙂
Oh my gosh!!! His whole body wiggles and smiles and is just so DARN CUTE!!! He most certainty has that Summoning charm down pat. 🙂
Oh, and I am glad you found your camera in one piece and not distributed across your backyard in little Delilah piles.
🙂 Yes he really uses his entire being to express his joy. He is a great boy.
I’m glad i didn’t find it in the yard too. 🙂
Yeah, that little wiggly butt would get me jogging across the parking lot. I am so glad you found your camera. You just made my night. 🙂
Thanks Pamela, many, many women fall victim to his lure. 🙂
I was quite impressed that you could rattle off all the characters that J.K. with her ruthless mind killed off in the series.
Only because I’ve read the book at least five times and it made a very lasting impression! Thanks Jan. **giggle**
We are HP obsessed at our house and often stage theme parties to rewatch the movies. (Yes, we are dorks.) So that scarf…rocks my world. As does Smpson and his adorable “rooing”. I ♥ him.
You are my twin….except you are younger and better looking. 🙂
Oh, this pure happiness!!!
Thanks Marina!! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
OMG I just love it, he talks like fred just in a higher pitch – I totally love it!
Glad your found your camera …now where was it?!
I have to admit I like Harry Potter but my sci fi is TRUE BLOOD 🙂
Fred does it too? I’ve never heard another dog do it. Delilah tries but she hasn’t mastered it.
I’ve never seen TRUE BLOOD. Is it HBO?
How Funny!! So tell us… WHERE WAS the CAMERA??????
It must have been wedged in the couch and when we flipped it the other night we must have loosened it when we flipped it back. 🙂
Such joy in his face! And he’s got such a cute wiggle-butt.
He does love his Auntie and his cousin. 🙂
Oh Sampson,
How could anyone possibly resist your charms buddy – you’re so cute – I love the whole body wiggle thing!! 🙂
Who needs a magic wand when you’re that cute, hey? 🙂
Have a fun day,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Thanks Snoopy!! He does have a cute little wiggle. 🙂
that’s adorable – he looks like a cartoon version of himself, aroo-ing and smiling 🙂
Thanks Lexy!
So cute! I don’t know who could resist a summons like that! Just the sight of your two beautiful dogs with their heads peaking out the back of your car would have me oohing and awwing. Sampson is a charmer, there is no doubt!
Will you still be my friend if I tell you I have never seen a single Harry Potter movie? If not, please pretend I didn’t say anything. 😛
You and me both. I tried to watch a couple of times and it put me to sleep…both times…lol.
Awe thanks Kristine. He really does draw people to him when he does it. 🙂
Of course you’re still my friend!! It’s not for everyone you know. I think the movies were enhanced because I’d read the books. I just fell in love with the whole good vs evil. 🙂
@2BrownDawgs, you aren’t the first person I’ve heard say that. 🙂
So adorable. 🙂
🙂
Haha Sampson has quite a way with women. 🙂
He does and believe it or not, some guys fall for it too. 🙂
Good God, what a smile! I’m with you on the fantasy fiction, though after Lord of the Rings I was so smitten with all the characters that I didn’t want to read anything else. I still haven’t moved on 🙂
That is a tough one. If I have to choose between HP or LOTR I don’t know which one I’d choose. No, I would choose LOTR. I can watch them over and over. In fact, I wanted to name Sampson “Aragorn” but Hubby said no, so that’s his middle name instead. 🙂
PS that was me, Kirsten peacefuldog!
Now that is one adorable smile!
Thanks Rumpy!!
He definitely has the “Summoning” charm 🙂
LOL I think he does Bassa!!
Love Sampson’s roo rooing, what a guy how could anyone resist his charm, and I see Delilah let’s him do all the work but reaps the petting too…lol
Love Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings. The scarf is super cool 🙂
It’s pretty hard to resist. 🙂
I’m a sci-fi geek. I worked for hours and hours on that scarf! LOL thanks!! I love to find other HP and LOTR fans.
Oooo I loved this post!! We are big HP fans too, and I too wore my graduation gown … Hey we had to make the $60 spent on it worthwhile, right?? 🙂
Yes and it saved us money on robes for the movies!! Those things aren’t cheap!! LOL
