I Spy With My Little Eye

October 21, 2013 By Jodi

The leaves have been falling in our little corner of paradise for the last three or four weeks.  Last week during one of our walks I noticed that Delilah had a bunch of leaves plastered to the back of her left foot.

Fotor01019220717 Yup, poor Delilah.  She stepped in an ass bomb.

I pulled the leaves off and wiped as much of it as I could off and when we got home, I washed her foot.

Now if this had been Sampson I’d have had no idea where he picked this up, but seeing as Delilah is on leash and limited in her travels, I figured she picked it up on one of the trails.  So the next time we were out there, I found the offending pile in the middle of the trail and removed as much of it as I could.  I say as much of it, because the ass cake was right in the center of an embedded rock.

And no, butt nuggets do not rock.

This month’s #ScoopThatPoop blog hop is Poop Poetry.  I guess I should have checked before I designed this post.  Because I don’t have any poetry prepared.  I had to do it on the fly…sorry!

Don’t fly the coop
After you drop that poop
Teach your human to scoop
Before someone steps in that goop
And falls on their ass with a whoop!
 

I know it’s not always easy, I mean I’ve had them both pooping at the same time on different sides of me.

As I’ve mentioned before, poop from a raw fed dog is much harder than a standard poop.  What I may not have mentioned is….the color.  My dog’s poop is a mustard/yellow/gold color.

Did I mention that a LOT of the leaves that are falling in our woods are yellow?  Yup, sometimes I just can’t find that poop.

For example, see if you can spot the poop in this photo.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA (Yes my trained eye found the offending Lincoln Log and picked it up.)

This may not be the best example because most of these leaves have dried and turned brown, but I think you get the point.  Go ahead and guess, I already have a photo ready for Friday’s post that shows you just exactly where the colon cake is.

It’s like the Where’s Waldo of poop.  I spy with my little eye…….butt butter.

Anyway, I know all of you clean up after your dogs, but we need to find a way to get everyone to do this, it really helps cut down on the spread of diseases.

Besides, it’s the environmentally friendly thing to do.

So how do we get people to understand the benefits of cleaning up after their dogs?

You Make Me Smile – I’ll Always Want a Lab

October 20, 2013 By Jodi

One of the big reasons I started this blog was for all the crazy, funny things my dogs do that bring a smile to my face or a laugh to my lips.

Sometimes it’s not easy to write a full blog post about it and sometimes I forget to share.

Some posts will be You Make Me Laugh and others will be You Make Me Smile, but they will all be the silly, sweet, funny things Sampson and Delilah do that help make crazy days just a little bit easier.

Feel free to share what your pet does to make you laugh/smile in the comments.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Delilah, the way your mouth is always wet in anticipation of food, you make me smile.

Yesterday when I was walking the dogs Delilah was tight against my leg wanting a treat.  When her mouth touched my pants it left a wet mark on them.

Immediately tears filled my eyes and without conscious thought I said, “I will always want to have a lab.”

She makes my life a lot of fun.

A side note: the photo was taken using an effect called “sparkle” which I found in the “magic” settings of my new camera.

Friday I’ll show you a photo of Delilah using the fun effect called “punk.”

So tell me, what do your dogs do that make you smile?  Is it a breed specific trait?

Follow-Up Friday – October 18, 2013

October 18, 2013 By Jodi

Welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday, the blog hop that let’s you wrap up your week and leads you right into the weekend.

Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop

Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop

 

Joining me as co-hostess today is 2 Brown Dawgs Blog.  If you haven’t yet met Thunder, Storm and Freighter, what are you waiting for?  They’re awesome!

Thank you LInda for joining me.

Follow-Up Friday

Dawn said, “Fantastic follow up! I barely have enough time to read blogs, let alone comments.”

I’m with you there my friend.  It’s so hard trying to write, read and comment.  Sometimes I just can’t comment, but I hate not reading, you miss too many things!

You Make Me Smile – Star Wars Style

Yoda 2

Roxy asked, “LOL…How does he do that?”

I wish I knew.  His ears are frequently in strange positions.

Jackie asked, “Do you suppose they know their ears are bent all crazy but just don’t care?”

I’m not sure of that either!  I know my mom will always say, “fix your ear.”  Honestly I think it bothers her more than it bothers him. LOL

Oh Lord, My Water Broke

One Person’s View asked, “How did she get it out of the SINK?”

She stood on her hind legs, stuck her face in the sink and pulled it out.  I am constantly catching her with her face in the sink!  Sometimes she’s just lapping up dirty dishwater.

Basil asked, “Is it wrong that my only thought is well done for getting so far?!”

Hell no!  I was proud of her for that too!!  Once she actually pulled a GLASS bowl out of the sink and carried it into the living room.  I swear I don’t know how she does it!

Blueberry’s Human said, “I am totally impressed! I’m telling you – you need to have some cameras around there to watch how she does these things!”

I think you’re right.  People wouldn’t be watching the Pandas, they’d be watching Delilah!

Don’t Be a Dick

2 Brown Dawgs asked, “Did you think I would get my panties in a wad?…lol.”

No. You and I are cool.  You are very responsible with your dogs.

Jessica said, “I just wish people were more responsible with their pets. About everything, not just spay/neuter. Violating leash laws, not scooping, not training. All symptoms of the same problem.”

I agree.  I just wish they took the time to educate themselves, that would go a long way.

Misty said, “sorry for the rant.”

Never apologize for being passionate about something on this blog. 🙂

Jump Mama

Jackie said, ““How high, Delilah?” Hahahahaha. I can’t really see your mama saying that Delilah. But if you insist that that’s what you heard, then I’ll believe you.”

She made that shit up.  I would never say that.

This ‘N That Thursday

Animal Couriers said, “Good luck in shutting down that negligent vet. How on earth did they allow that?”

Oh I wish I knew!  Sometimes I really wonder what the heck goes on in some people’s minds.

Emma asked, “So what do the stripes on those furry little guys mean?”

You know, I’m not sure Emma, but I’m going to ask the person who told me about it.  I’ll get back to you!

That is a wrap for Follow-Up Friday.  Thank you to 2 Brown Dawgs for co-hosting this week.  Remember, if you’re interested in co-hosting Follow-Up Friday next week, let me know in the comments.

Have a great weekend!
