Welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday, the post where I highlight awesome comments, answer reader’s questions and generally just wrap up my week.

You Make Me Smile – July 19, 2015

Monika said, “I’m a huge fan of magic settings. Now if they’d put one on an iPhone to make you look 10 lbs. lighter in selfies. 😉”

Now wouldn’t that be nice? OR a feature to take away the blemish that suddenly popped up.

Jan said, “I love the way dogs smile with their ears, their tails and the whole bodies, not just their mouths.”

Isn’t it wonderful? You can tell immediately that you’ve got a friend.

Pamela asked, “BTW, do you think Delilah knows a cute smile will make it easier for you to forgive her for snatching food off the counter?”

Honestly, I’m never sure what that dog thinks, but she does know that I’m very quick to forgive her.

Elaine said, “I like that effect…and the stretchy smile. Haley’s “butt in the air” stretches always make me smile. :-)”

THAT would make me smile too!

I Know Why They’re Called Bugs

Kate O’Brien said, “Bugs are another thing on my long list of items I don’t miss living in California. I remember camping in the Adirondecks around July 4th and getting bit by black flies…those are the nastiest things, I was sick for a week from them. Yeah, we have earthquakes, but we don’t have bugs.”

THEY are nasty! And I’m jealous you have no bugs, but I don’t think I could deal with the earthquakes either. 🙂

Taryn said, “I got stung by a wasp on Sunday, so yeah, I hate bugs too!”

CRAP! I read that on your blog! I’m super sorry. I hate bees too! Hubby got stung twice last night!

Mary said, “Come to Wyoming. I’m sitting here with a blanket on my lap, and the heat going. (Don’t hate me)”

Is it that cold Mary? And are there bugs? (And I could never hate you.) 🙂

Pamela said, “Bwa ha ha! I’m so glad I wasn’t drinking when I read your “whore on payday” line. :-)”

Yay! For those that don’t know, one of my goals in life is to make Pamela shoot milk out her nose. 😀

Emma said, “We had tons of bugs on our walk in the Whitetail Woods park, horse flies specifically. ”

Horse flies are horrible and they hurt when they bite!

Jen Gabbard said, “I’ve finally gotten to the point where I have to spray myself in the nastiest bug repellent on earth (deep woods off) and while it works for mosquitoes it does NOTHING to keep the stupid deer & horse flies away. ”

Those damn bugs! I’ve used so many different products and they still come after me. There are some of these little flies in the woods that love the Delilah’s eyes, the poor girl, when they start coming out we stay out of the woods.

Jan said, “The spiders are trying to help you by building webs across the paths to catch the bugs. But apparently you are undermining their efforts with your face. :-)”

Bwa ha ha, is that it?

Monika said, “Why oh why did Mother Nature make spider webs appear exactly at face height? Trust me, it’s not a good look with my arms flailing all over and me hopping around like I just stepped on a bed of nails to try and get rid of that crap.”

Exactly! I’m flapping my arms like I’m trying to fly. LOL

Cupcake said, “Mom comes home black and blue from slapping herself when bugs come near her. I like bugs. They’re delicious. And yes they DO taste like chicken! ”

One of these days I’m going to write a post about all the places I’ve hit myself and all the things I’ve used to do it. As for the taste of bugs,  I must have had a bad bug, because it did not taste like chicken!

Clowie said, “You’re too fussy if you don’t like eating bugs. My advice is to keep trying, you’re bound to find a type you enjoy sooner or later!”

Um…I don’t think that is going to happen. LOL

Best Pet Blogs To Follow – Barks and Bytes

Thank you all so much for the congratulations, it was an unexpected but greatly appreciated surprise.

Jan said, “Wait, you mean I didn’t win the African lottery and that hot guy is coming on to you too?…Congratulations on being chosen as a best pet blog. I wonder why the email went to your spam folder since it was a message only to you.

I’m sorry Jan, no and yes that dirty dipper is trying to hook up with both of us. 🙂 As for the e-mail, I have my filter set on high, if you’re not in my contact list, it goes to spam.

Elaine said, “Isn’t it great when something like that turns out to be legit?”

It sure is great!! And greatly appreciated.

Jan K said, “I think you are wise to be cautious about clicking on links, what you did is exactly what I usually do if I’m unsure of a link…look it up separately.”

I agree Jan, with all the crazy hackers and spammers out there, I think you can never be too careful.

Well that’s it for me my friends. Have a great weekend!!
