As I mentioned last week, I’ve been doing “You Make Me Laugh” or “You Make Me Smile” posts for at least three years.
That’s a lot of smiles and laughs. I still smile and laugh every day with these guys. Whether it’s Sampson’s smile when I come home from work, or Delilah’s shoving her head between my legs before I leave for work, there is ALWAYS something to laugh or smile about with these two.
I don’t want to say the dogs are boring now, but they are both seniors and those days of Sampson shoving his head in a hole and digging like crazy
Then coming up covered in dirt with a big smile on his face
Or Delilah climbing into our trainer’s car trunk looking for goodies
Just a little bit further, we can’t take the chance of missing something.
Happens less and less frequently.
So yesterday I started going through photos to see if something would hit a cord with me, and I thought, I wonder what the first dog photo I shared was?
Well, this may come as a surprise to some of you, but when I first started blogging 1) I didn’t know what I was going to blog about 2) I didn’t decide to blog about my dogs until about three or four months in and 3) I didn’t add photos to any of my posts.
I know, right?
Then I got bored of looking at blog posts, so I went to the media, and the very first dog photo I shared was this one.
Do you know Sampson?
When I was going to my very first writing conference, I wanted to wear a shirt promoting Sampson, and this is the photo I put on that shirt.
It’s one of my favorites, and looking at it, always makes me smile.
What made you smile this week?
Look at that baby bubba face! He’s just so adorable! 💜💜💜💜
Awww both beautiful pups ❤ What made me smile today is we took Merlin for a walk along the foreshore and i said to Merlin ‘in the water’ & he paddled for a bit. It made me smile cos he is not a water labby by far. When the weather heats up we’ll properly take him swimming. I’m not a fan of ocean swimming as we have great white sharks here so there’s that lol.
Wow! He doesn’t even look like the same dog. Looking back at when we first started is always fun. At least we had photos, but we kept them super small. It’s a fun way to see how we have grown and changed.
Those are all such fun photos!
That face is a real attention-getter.
That is one classic face that deserves to be on a tee-shirt
Love the first as well as the pleased-as-punch ‘digger’ photo! Your boy is still adorable. 😍 Don’t you love going back and seeing where you started and where you’re at now?
Awww now THAT made me smile!!!!!!!!!!
Photos like these always make me smile, too! I still have photos of Callie and Shadow from when they were less than a year old that make me smile. And photos of them snuggling-up at bedtime that sometimes make me cry, sometimes make me smile, and most times make me smile through my tears. And after those three years of Ducky dissing Shadow day in and day out, I now treasure the photos I have of them acting more like sisters/friends.
Sampson has the most expressive face, no matter what he’s doing. ♥
