Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

It’s a Doggone Shame

By

Delilah and Sampson here at the keyboard, to once again join our friends Koly and Felix from Kol’s Notes and Sherman and Leroy from My Brown Newfies in their amazing Human Shaming Blog hop.

Delilah: I don’t know about you Sampson, but I’ve been waiting all year for this, I mean don’t get me wrong, I love the Mama, I really do, but sometimes I have to pray to that great canine in the sky, Sirius, for help with poor, simple Mama.

Sampson: You’re too hard on her Dee, you just never cut her some slack.

Delilah: Cut her some slack? Sam I’ve been attempting to train this woman for over six years!  Do you realize how much of my life I’ve spent trying to get this woman to follow me on a walk?  She’s fifty-three years old and still has to be on a leash for dog’s sake!!

Sampson: Um, Delilah I think you’re missing the point of the walk, it’s our job to stay with the Mama.

Delilah: Who told you THAT?

Sampson: It’s in the Canine Companion Book of Rules.  You have read that, right?

Delilah: That’s neither here nor there, the point is while The Mama is highly amusing to her human friends, she is exploiting us in photos and stories.  Oh wait, I forget, she’s never put a photo of you pooping or lifting your leg to pee, like she has me.  I’ll be honest, I’d expect something like that from the cat, but it shouldn’t EVER be from The Mama.

Sampson: Come on Delilah, you have to admit, that picture of you all hunched over in a poop stance was funny.

Delilah: Maybe to you, but NOT to me.  I have a reputation to uphold, a sense of dogcorum that must be adhered to.

Sampson: I understand your frustration Delilah, I really do, but I think we got a little off track, we’re supposed to be shaming The Mama in PICTURES.

Delilah: Fine!  You may remember last year we were able to get her to hold signs showing her shame, but not this year.  She wouldn’t fall for it twice, so we had to resort to just taking the pictures and adding the captions after.  Honestly, she’s not as dumb as she looks.  And if you saw her dressed for her walk, you’d KNOW she looks dumb.

But without further arguing with Blunder Boy…

Sampson: Not nice, Dee, not nice!

Delilah: Here is my contribution to the blog hop.

Delilah: Look at her!  Not only is she dressed like a hobo, she has a bag of dingleberries hanging off her pants!  Who in Dog’s Name walks around with a bag of doody on their pants?  And it’s not too far from the treat bag, and she says the treats from China are tainted.  At least they aren’t shit flavored.

And she wonders why I run.

Sampson: BOL!  That was funny. You eat shit in the yard.

Delilah: This is my picture Sampson, I get to say what I want.  Shut your pie hole and put your picture up.

Sampson: Okay, here’s mine:

Potty Shaming

Sampson: Oh Mama, you disappoint me so when you do this.  I mean, I grew up next to Mrs.”I can’t keep my nose inside my house” next door neighbor and Grandma. I can’t help but dash outside when you say, “What’s that?” or “Did you hear that?” or “Who’s got this one?”  You’re taking advantage of the curious nature that was nurtured in me by my Grandma, how can you do that?

And speaking of Grandmas, I’d like to wish my Grandma a very Happy Birthday.  I love you Grandma!

Delilah: I love you too Grandma, have a very happy day!

I’m so sad, it’s over already.  I kind of like this blogging stuff….especially when I’m shaming The Mama.

What do you think about this shaming stuff?  Did you get shamed?  Hop along and see what other pups had to say about their humans.

Human Shaming

My goal when I sit down to write a blog post is to bring a smile to someone’s face, it’s not always easy with some of the topics I tackle which is why when an opportunity comes to let it rip, I try and jump on that bandwagon.

Well friends, the opportunity is next Wednesday.  Back by popular demand Heart Like a Dog will be taking part in the Human Shaming Blog Hop hosted by Kol’s Notes and My Brown Newfies.  For those readers new to the blog, Sampson and Delilah really took me to task last year.  If you’re interested you can read all about it here. Funny stuff?  Yes.  A  little embarrassing?  Definitely!!

humanshaming1 To be truthful, I’m a tad bit nervous thinking of the humiliating photos I’ve had taken this year and wondering what those two will come up with.

The Flooding in Colorado

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the horror stories coming out of Colorado, they are calling it the 100 year flood and it means exactly that, the type of flooding that generally happens only once in a 100 year period.

As you know, when a natural disaster affects people it also affects our pets.  The numbers are staggering:

  • 21 helicopters were being used Monday for evacuations
  • 11,750 people have been evacuated
  • 8 people have lost their lives
  • 658 people are still unaccounted for, which means no one has been able to get a hold of them. This number continues to decline as more people are rescued.
  • This is being called the 100 Year Flood, here’s a little on what that means: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/FS-229-96/
  • Approximately 2,377 agricultural properties have been affected
  • 36 shelters are now open serving hundreds of people and pets
  • Flood conditions are spread across 200 miles covering 15 counties (these facts are courtesy of BlogPaws.)

This is the This ‘N That Thursday blog hop, created and hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs.

Gone to the Dogs

By

Sampson: Move over Mama, the dogs are taking over the blog for today.

Mama: Now wait just a minute!

Delilah: Stuff it Mama, your 15 minutes of fame are over, it’s time the real stars of this show took control.  Now sit down and be quiet and it you’re good, we’ll give you your stinkin computer back when we’re done.

Sampson: Alright, alright Mama, we’ll tell them.  Mama says to tell you she will have a double Follow-up Friday next week.  And that she’s really sorry for what you are about to see and read.

Enough barking Mama, let’s just get on with this okay?

 

I’m sure by now you’ve all heard about this dog shaming stuff.  Personally Delilah and I don’t see anything wrong with it, I mean it’s not like we really feel shame, unlike you humans who seem to love to wallow in it.  But for some reason Mama doesn’t like it. 

Delilah: Whatever, she’s such a prude.  Honestly we have no idea where her sense of humor and fun come from.

Sampson: Our friends Koly and Felix from Kol’s Notes have gotten together with our friends Sherman, Leroy and Plunger over at My Brown Newfies and have this great blog hop called Human Shaming.

Since Mama has no shame when it comes to putting pictures of us on the blog, we figure she won’t care if we put pictures of her up.

Mama: Excuse me?  That’s why you had me holding signs and posing for pictures? So you could humiliate me on my own blog?

Sampson: You catch on quick Mama.  Use the clicker Delilah, give her a treat.

Delilah : You should have thought about that Mama when you put a picture of me pooping, yes POOPING on the blog.  Where’s your sense of dogcorum?  How would you like it if I put a picture of you on the toilet?

Well?  Yeah, that’s what I thought.  Nuff said Mama.

Anyway, we thought it would be fun to show you a couple of pictures of Mama and our thoughts that go along with them.

Sampson: Here’s Mama all dressed up for our walk.

Ooops, wrong sign Mama, that sign was for the basketball hoop Dad is giving away.

Try for a minute to follow along okay, Mama?

Embarrassing isn’t it?  Why can’t she dress like the other dog’s moms?  Honestly Mama you’d think we were part of some kind of freak show.

You really need to wonder why I snap at other dogs?  I’m not being mean, I’m defending your right to dress like a freak!

Okay, I’m turning this over to Delilah now.

Delilah: Here’s the picture I want to share with you.

And she laughs at me when I fart.

Really Mama?  If you laughed every time you farted you’d sound like a laugh track for a sitcom.

The honest truth is this woman’s pipes leak more than the BP pipes in the Gulf of Mexico.

Huh, and she say’s I’m a pig!

Well that’s all the pictures we’re sharing today.  Sampson and I held back a couple just in case our friends at Kol’s Notes and My Brown Newfies decide to do a little more human shaming.

Thanks for tuning in, we’re turning the blog back over to Mama.

OMD you guys, I’m so, so sorry about this.  I really am hanging my head in shame.

Have you been seeing a lot of human shaming today?  What did you think of it, did you enjoy it?  Did you participate?  What do you think your dog would shame you about?

This is the human shaming blog hop hosted by Kol’s Notes and My Brown Newfies.



Enjoy!
