Your Dog Wears Boots, Mine Wears Slippers

January 7, 2013 By Jodi

Delilah loves dryers sheets.

Sometimes I give them to her.

Just because.

Her eyes glaze over and she has this dreamy look about her.

She takes the dryer sheet and using her teeth and feet, and tears them up.

Then she rubs her head in them.

(Like that could get rid of her Frito smell.)

She loves them so much that sometimes she sticks her nose in the laundry basket and rummages about like a pig in the wild, looking for a dryer sheet.

Yes, she loves them that much.

So it should come as no surprise that at any given time during the day it’s very possible you might come across a dryer sheet (or two or three) somewhere in my house.

Sure, I could pick them up, but why deprive her of the pleasure?

You can imagine with so many dryer sheets lying about, it sometimes makes for a little bit of amusement around the house.

Like the time Delilah came to dinner with her fancy new slippers.

I laughed so hard I could barely take the picture.

I laughed so hard I could barely take the picture.

 

She had one on each of her front feet.

She had one on each of her front feet.

 

I wasn’t quick enough with the camera to do the situation justice.

Do your dogs have any idiosyncrasies that make you laugh?

Let It Snow

December 31, 2012 By Jodi

We call mischief on the snow that started Saturday afternoon and continued through the evening.

My daughter had gone out and after we had eaten dinner and cleaned up I decided to let Beauregard out of his ‘casa’ so he could potty.

The fact that he is a four-month old bull-dog puppy and we had at least eight inches of snow on the ground never dawned on me until I opened the door.

The snow reached the top of the shovel.

The snow reached the top of the shovel.

 

Hubby ran out to the front to get the shovel.

Bo took one look at the snow and said, no way.

No amount of coaxing could convince him to go outside.  Even after Hubby shoveled a path and we used treats to try to coax him, he wouldn’t budge.

I don't care what you offer me, I ain't goin.

I don’t care what you offer me, I ain’t goin.

 

Hubby went outside with the umbrella to shield him from the snow but the umbrella seemed to scare him.

Instead he came back inside and piddled on the rug.

When my daughter came home she asked, Did you put his coat on?

Um no, I didn’t realize he needed a coat to go outside.

They put his coat on and he ran outside and pottied.

When Sampson and Delilah went out a short while later, they had to break their own path.

You just push your way through it.

You just push your way through it.

 

Did you get snow where you live?  Did I mention this is the Monday Mischief Blog Hop hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, Luna a Dog’s Life and My Brown Newfies?

Monday Mischief Delilah Style

December 10, 2012 By Jodi

Last Christmas after feeding and walking the dogs, Hubby and I sat on the couch eating chocolate drizzled kettle corn and playing Donkey Kong on the Wii.

It was a very relaxing, enjoyable morning.

I haven’t seen the chocolate drizzled kettle corn since then, until the last time I was at Trader Joe’s. It was cocoa drizzled kettle corn.  Semantics, it’s still chocolate right?

Hubby has a habit of eating a snack on the couch and leaving the empty package on the table between the two seats.

(Personally I think putting a pull down table on a couch is the dumbest idea Bob’s Discount Furniture ever had, but I’m sure some people probably use it responsibly.  Sadly it doesn’t work in our house, it just becomes another flat surface that gets covered with stuff.)

I’m sorry, I digress.

Delilah has a habit of snooping about on the surface of the table to see if anyone has left anything edible up there.

Which is how it came to be that I came out of the bathroom and found this.

You like chocolate, why can’t I?

 

She wasn’t one bit contrite.

I sent Hubby a text asking how much popcorn was left in the bag.

He said not much, maybe a couple of handfuls.

Um…that didn’t help me much.  There is a BIG difference between my handful and Hubby’s handful.

I called the vet, it was just before 7:00 am.  My vet’s office doesn’t open until 8:30 but the vet is available after 7:00 if you call the answering service.

I asked them to send a message over to the vet as soon as they could.

The vet called me back at 7:06.

“So you’re kids are getting into trouble?”

“Only one, Dr. B.  Only one.”

She then reassured me that for her size, Delilah would probably have to eat two full size candy bars for them to make an impact.

She would if she had the chance.
