Follow-Up Friday – September 27, 2013

September 27, 2013 By Jodi

Welcome to this 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

 

My co-hostess this week lives in the south, but is originally from up north, she’s got that no-nonsense attitude mixed in with her southern charm.  She is fur mom to Shadow, Callie and Ducky, please make sure you pop over and say hello to Sue from The Golden Life.  Many thanks to Sue for co-hosting this week!

I don’t typically follow-up on Follow-up Friday comments, but this one by Dawn really needed a response, “my dog Cassie from my childhood would always walk when she pooped or peed.”

Delilah does the same thing.  We call her “Delilah shit walker.”

You Make Me Laugh

Most of you said your dogs either do the same thing as Sampson, or they hide the toy.  It’s funny isn’t it, that they’ve learned to communicate so well. 😀

Bubbers 2

What’s the Stink About?

Yeah, I think we all agreed that leaving your dog’s business (or in some people’s case, their own brains) right next to the poop station is the epitome of laziness.

I did speak at length with the town Parks and Recreation department manager and I outright told him, the best prevention would be two feet in the park observing who is doing (or not doing) what.  I also suggested poop stations and trash cans scattered throughout the park, but so far nothing has happened.

Some day I will go up there without the dogs and bring my pail and scooper, I won’t mind picking up after someone else’s dog in that manner.

Pumpkin Patties

Gizmo said, “These do sound good enough to share and they look just like peanut butter cookies…hmm, maybe add a touch of peanut butter too?”

That’s where I got the idea for pressing them with a fork Gizmo!  I can’t eat peanuts myself, but I bet some almond, cashew or sunbutter would work just as well.  Actually I’m planning on making an icing for them this weekend and see how that tastes.

Tenacious Little Terrier said, “They look good. Perfect for fall. I’m tempted to make some and leave them out so the BF will eat them unaware.”

Oh that made me LOL.  You should record it too.

Jodi, Kolchak and Felix said, “Those look amaaaaaazing! Did you know you can get cookie scoops (kind of like mini ice cream scoops ) to get uniform balls? Then you just have to roll them around a bit to warm ‘em up & shape them and voila! You’ve rolled Mrs. Taleteller’s mind right into the gutter (but your cookies will look good too.)”

Shit, I have one of those little scoops too!  It’s been so long since I’ve been baking I’ve forgotten all the tricks to the trade.

BTW, I like putting Mrs. Taleteller’s mind in the gutter, I’m thinking of asking her to share a room with me Vegas. 😉  I think we could get into some sirius trouble.

It’s a Doggone Shame

Jen said, “I’m not sure if I could tie the poop to my loops, something about hot shit hitting my thigh would drive me crazy!”

Yeah, really I tried it once but the bag of shit bopping along with me on the walk, just didn’t sit well.  I thought it would be a great photo for shaming purposes so I recreated the photo, but typically I don’t walk with it like that!  It grosses me out.

Jen K said, “Haha! I am not willing to take the risk of tying Newfoundland-sized poop to my pants”

Um yeah, I don’t blame you on that one!  Lab size is bad enough!

That’s my wrap up for the week.  Don’t forget to swing by and say hello to Sue and the gang.  This is the Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop hosted by The Golden Life and Heart Like a Dog.

Follow-Up Friday – September 20, 2013

September 20, 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

As I mentioned yesterday, my co-hostess this week is Linda from 2 Brown Dawgs.  I love reading about Thunder, Storm and Freighter and their hunting/training exploits.  If you are unfamiliar with this blog, you’re really missing out.  I learn so much from this lady.

You Make Me Smile, Then You Make Me Laugh

I wished I’d said, “Do you have a privacy pooper or a daring dumper?” Instead of “Do you have a dog that digs privacy when they poop?  Or is yours more like Delilah who will go wherever the urge hits her?”

Bren asked, ” BTW, do your babies do that kick back after they pooh and then going running like a bat outta he**?”

First, you can say hell on this blog Bren, no judgements. 😀  Second, sometimes Sampson kicks, but mostly he just dumps and runs.  Delilah is the kicker, but she doesn’t run afterwards.  She kicks a lot though.  Many times I’ve come awful close to getting a face full of dirt because of her kicking.

Margie Guess said, “BYW.. I’m Ginger the Cinderella girl.”

I don’t know what that means Margie, but you have my attention.  If you have a blog would you please provide the link?

Sampson HAS gotten better, in fact he pooped right on the lawn at the Vet’s last week.  But when he was younger, I would pick him up at daycare and he would head strait for the back yard so he could do his business.  I peed on the side of a thruway once so I’m not sure how I got this modest dog.

Good Morning Monday

Jan K said, “Oh no, just when I was getting ready to say how great his leg looks….has he had a limp before?”

He has had a limp before, but it comes and goes.  Since he limped on Monday I haven’t seen him do it again.  It could just be that he spends an awful lot of time just laying around and his leg was a bit stiff.  I’ll be keeping an eye on it.

Jen said, “Why the hell is he limping? Its gotta be a coincidence. He’s just trying to drive you off the deep end.”

I think you’re totally right.  He just wants me more neurotic than I already am!

Oh and I’m so glad that so many of you don’t like to just hand your pets over either. 🙂

Heya – Meet Taya

2 Brown Dawgs asked, “Hope she finds a good home! I wonder if Corgi rescue would take her?”

Taya went with a possible adopter for a couple days stay on a trial basis.  Sadly it didn’t work out.  Taya was guarding the towel hanging from the lady’s refrigerator and wouldn’t let her open it.   It made the woman uncomfortable, so she returned Taya.  BTW Taya was very happy to leave.

The family member who currently has her already has her hands full with three dogs, so she’s contacting a rescue who has already agreed to take Taya and is working on the best way to transition her.

For anyone who might be interested she is currently in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Sue said, “As for a plan… the kids have been warned – the dogs are getting everything.”

Oooh, you’re brave Sue, I haven’t told mine yet. 😀

Coffee and Donuts with Peggy Frezon

I don’t know about you, but when I was in my 20’s and 30’s I could eat just about anything and never gain an ounce.  NOW it seems like I look at a donut and I’ve gained a pound.

Sometimes I feel like it’s hopeless.  I really do try and watch what I eat and I walk every day, yet I still have that heavy middle that just won’t go away.

Maybe I need to up my game?

This ‘N That Thursday

Jan said, “I can remember not long ago when people lost their lives because they wouldn’t leave their pets in a disaster. I’m so glad that people are understanding how important our furry family members are.”

I’m glad too Jan, I would never abandon my dogs, in fact I have a plan to get home to my house via the trails should there ever be a situation where the roads are closed.

And many thanks to Flea, ” If you really are free to a good home, there’s space in our bonus room. We have a nice library. But no TV.”

Do you have Wifi? I have an iPad so as long as I have Wifi I don’t need TV.

free

Donna said “I do look forward to seeing what hi-jinks your dogs have planned for the Human-Shaming Blog Hop. Especially Delilah. She’s a crafty one.”

Yes, yes she is.  She’s also sarcastic and can be a bit snarky.  I hope I can keep her under control. 😀

That’s a wrap for me, many thanks to 2 Brown Dawgs for co-hosting the hop!

Follow-Up Friday – September 13, 2013

September 13, 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 this week is the amazing Flea, who graciously agreed to co-host again.  And she called me crazy.

Abstract Art

So my dog is not the only one that chases the bowl all over the house!  LOL  Many of you commented about the non-skid bowls.  If you look again at the two bowls, you will see that one has a rubber bottom while the other does not.

photo-9

The top one originally had rubber, but it fell off.  That is Delilah’s dish and she eats out of it upside down because she inhales faster than James Franco in Pineapple Express.  I’ve yet to find a dish that slows the eater down, but doesn’t slide around.

Are You Ready For Some Football?

Pam said, “Not much football going on in this house. Hubs is not a sports fan… at all. Not a single sport. If anyone watches football, it’s me… but even I don’t watch much anymore.”

That’s pretty much the same in our house.  My hubby doesn’t watch a lot of sports either (at least not religiously like my son-in-laws do) but he will watch a bit of football.  It is generally me, looking for some type of sport on television.  I tend to favor NASCAR, baseball and football, although I’m slightly pissed off at NASCAR at the mo.

My guys go in spurts with which toys they play with, lately the football has found favor, I have no idea why.

What’s ‘taters’ precious?

Sugar said, “May we suggest something … since you are giving it to Sam w/ his pills … use Greek yogurt instead.”

Thanks Sugar, at the time I didn’t have any Greek yogurt, all I had was sour cream.  I did make the next batch with the Greek yogurt though and they still loved it.

Emma said, “I’m easy, I eat any pill in anything, Katie is a whole different story. She can suck all the stuff off and spit out the pill in about a second.”

Yup Emma, Sampson is the same way in the morning, which is why I have to hide them.

Genevieve said, “It also sounds like you may need to go food shopping.”

You made me laugh.  Yes, I probably do need to go food shopping!

Maggie said, “Emmett and Cooper will eat a pill in anything. Heck, Emmett will eat a pill if you toss it and tell him “catch.” Lucas, on the other hand, is a pill ninja. I’ve caught him carrying one off to spit out elsewhere, thinking he was fooling me.”

Well now I’ve seen Sampson spit stuff out, but never has he carried it somewhere to do so!

2 Brown Dawgs said, “If I made the potato/sour cream mixture, I surely wouldn’t feed it to the dog because it looks yummy. Heck maybe I should make some to take my pills.”

I bet it’d be good.  But what I’d do is make those little tater balls and fry ’em.  Yummo!!

Flea said, “Those potatoes sound GOOD. I’d pop a garlic clove or two into the water when boiling. Maybe a sprig of rosemary. Mmmm. And have you tried Pioneer Woman’s Crash Hot Potatoes? They are our RUIN. OM NOM NOM.”

As a matter of fact, we had them last night. 🙂  YUM!

Oh and by the way, I added that link for you, do you think Flea would have done that?  Heck no, she just tempted me with the recipe and left me to find it on my own.  Sheesh.

So I’ve Got This Paypal Button on my Blog

And it’s working!!  I am getting e-mails and hopefully you are getting e-mails from me confirming your order!

Margie said, “Yes..!! I do see the button, but no PayPal logo.”

Yup, I should have checked before I wrote that!   LOL it is a “Buy Now” button that links you up to PayPal but it doesn’t say “PayPal.”

The Fox and the Hounds

Um, can you imagine if all our inner bitches got together?  Woo Dog, that would be something!!

And I agree, the tail on that fox is thin, maybe I should talk to my neighbor about giving him some kind of supplement. 😉

That’s it for me, many thanks to Flea for co-hosting with me.  Make sure you stop over and say hello.  Have a great weekend!
