Heart Like a Dog

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

Batter Up

By

With Sampson on the D.L. Delilah has decided to step up to the plate.

Saturday was my morning for a dog food run, since Trader Joe’s is on the way, it’s also the day I stop and shop.  It is a 60 mile round trip and I schedule it so I go only once every three weeks.

I tried to make sure everything was picked up before I left, because I knew Delilah would either be bored or mad.

Normally when she gets into something she drags it out into the living room and decimates it on the rug.  I’ve gotten so I automatically look over that way as I walk in the door.

But there was nothing!

I brought the dog food in, set the necks in the sink to thaw, brought the groceries in and put them away.  I walked into the bedroom to start a load of laundry and

I guess the living room is no longer her favorite place for destroying things.

 

It’s what’s left of a bag of nut thins.  A bag of nut thins she took out of my work bag.

Since she follows me everywhere around the house, I asked her, Did you do this?

Here’s the answer I got.

I can’t stand to look at it.  Oh the nutty goodness.

 

Later on when we took our walk I noticed her poop was a little bit soft.

Hmmpf I said, You don’t think it’s because of the bag of NUT CHIPS  you ate, do you?

Do you have a destructo Delilah at home?  What kinds of things has your dog eaten?

Monday Mischief…Delilah Style

By

Saturday I took the dogs for an  early walk.  I usually make them wait about an hour after walking before serving them breakfast.  I figured while we were waiting I could pop down to the store and pick up some allergy medication.

I can always tell the dogs are tired when I am not greeted at the door.

I got all the way to the top of the stairs before Sampson stumbled out of the bedroom wagging his tail.

Delilah never showed.

That’s the first sign that she’s been up to no good.

I checked the couch – nothing.

I checked the den – nothing.

I checked the Dumbledore suite (hey, my nephew named it that, not me!) – nothing.

By this time my heart was in my throat, thinking she’d eaten something on the walk and was terribly ill.

I raced into the bedroom – nothing.

Then I noticed the bathroom door was closed, but not shut tight.

I opened the door and out strolled Delilah.

It was about half an hour later when I actually discovered what she’d been up to.

What? You don’t use the foofie anyway.

 

While I was gone she went into the shower and destroyed my foofie.  Don’t even ask what that smear of brown is on the rug, I could only imagine.

Drama King

By

Last week I shared a story about Sampson and a lick granuloma.

At the suggestion of our friend at the 2 Brown Dawgs Blog, I picked up some EMT gel.  If you’ve never heard of EMT gel, it is an all natural gel made of collagen.  The gel itself reminds me of a thick super glue, it is used to seal wounds, and is designed to aid in the healing process.  The package says it can be reapplied daily.

I’m not sure if the way the gel dries bothers Sampson or not, but Hubby was awakened yesterday morning by Sampson’s licking.

We needed a new plan of action.

We decided to wrap the paw at night, to deter Sampson from licking.  If this option doesn’t work, I will be switching to a collar. 🙁

I didn’t have any gauze, so I took a paper towel and cut it into fourths, then I folded the paper towel into a square, placed it over his paw and wrapped it with vet tape.

What are you looking at Bob?

Look at that pathetic face.  As soon as I finished wrapping his paw, he held it out as if to say, what is this?

When I coaxed him up the bed, he refused to use his paw.

When he walked, he walked with a limp.

Yes, my dog is a drama king.
