Follow-Up Friday

March 23, 2012 By Jodi

For those new to the blog, my follow-up Friday provides me with an opportunity to update or revise a post from the previous week.

You know sometimes you post about something and you need an update but it doesn’t warrant a whole blog.  Or sometimes someone made a comment that really resonated with you.  Yup, Follow-Up Friday baby! :-)

Expect The Unexpected – Update

When I caught up with my walking friend on Sunday, she told me that Brenda (who walks people’s dogs during the day for a living) had come back and couldn’t understand why the dogs had run off.

Duh, they were walking with us!

I also found out the dogs are kept in crates when they are in the house.   If that were me and I had the opportunity for freedom I’d take it when I could get it.

I’m a firm believer some people should NOT have dogs….or kids but that’s another topic. 🙂

In this post I mentioned how Sampson and Delilah always have a collar on, even in the house.  Their house collars are different from their walking collars.   Inside the house they wear a collar similar to this.

It has one small tag (with a silencer) that has their name, my name and my cell phone number on it.  It fits them very loosely, more like a necklace rather than a collar.

I’m fairly comfortable with them wearing the loose collars because I know they are not actively playing with each other during the day,  My mom who is in an in-law unit downstairs assures me that most days they don’t even make it off the couch. 🙂  If they played and rough-housed during the day I might re-think it.

Have You Seen My Camera – Update

As you can tell from last night’s video, I did find my camera.

I walked around with poutface all Wednesday night.  I wrote the post about losing the camera.  You left me suggestions of where to look.  Believe it or not, I had looked in every one of those suggested places with the exception of the garage.

When I got home last night Hubby and I were talking about it.  Hubby said, “I was going to buy you something for your birthday anyway, I’ll buy you a new camera.”

Most people would be really grateful for this offer, I on the other hand said, “I don’t want a new camera. I have a perfectly good camera that works for me, I just have to find it.  And what happens if we buy a new camera and I find mine?”

Then I told him of the garage suggestion, so he said, “I’ll go look there.”

When I’m working on my laptop I’m either in our room on the bed, or on the couch.  We had looked in both of these places already, but I decided to check the couch one more time, to make sure it hadn’t gotten wedged in the cushions.

I flipped the couch over and started searching it from the bottom up, I was up to my elbows in couch when I happened to look over and see my camera sitting on the floor!!  The camera must have been dislodged when we flipped the couch back the day before.

Summoning Charms – Author’s Note

I’m still waiting for the video to go viral. 🙂

Happy Friday everyone!!

    Yay – I’m so happy you were able to find your camera – I know how annoying it is to loose stuff – I leave my toys exactly where I want them, next minute they’ve vanished – I usually find them again in the basket – Mum!! Doh!! 🙂

    Have a fun weekend,

    Your pal Snoopy 🙂

    Ah the couch gremlins. I guess they needed a new camera too. Must of had the same offer your hubby gave you and returned yours. 🙂

    A dog walker whose dog’s run off? ohmy So she crates them all of the time? Poor dogs.

    Now see, we only use a slip collar for training. When I was a kid we had a dog who was scratching and got his leg stuck in a slip collar and ended up really injuring himself (he was paralyzed for a time). Kind of left an impression on me so we use buckle collars for hanging out.
