Heart Like a Dog

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

The Art of a Dog Fart

By

Am I right in saying all dogs fart?

What do you do when your dog farts?

If you’re like me, you either cover your nose or you laugh.

Most dogs I know of have those quiet but (mostly) deadly farts.  The kind that stinks up on you and takes you by surprise, because there is no notice.

Not Delilah.

Delilah farts like a human.

I was sitting on the couch, eating a snack.  Sampson and Delilah were sitting in front of me, patiently waiting for me to drop or give them something.

All of a sudden there was a loud noise, like someone blew a raspberry.  I looked at Delilah, my eyes wide and she, ever so casually, turned and looked at her butt.

I busted out laughing and Hubby said, what did she do?

I couldn’t talk, I was laughing too hard.

Seen about town.

We’ve had some decent snow here in the northeast.  When I went over to watch my grandchildren last Saturday I took a picture of the snowman my sweet little grandson made.

They live in an area where the front yard gets a lot of sun, and it was quite warm last Saturday (which is probably why Frosty bit the dust.)

Back where I live, our front yards don’t get a lot of sun.  As I drove past my neighbor’s house, this sea serpent/dragon caught my eye.

I thought it was super cool that my neighbor and her grandsons built it around the telephone pole and they colored the snow too.

When I walked up to take the picture I commented to my neighbor how very cool it was and she drew my attention to the Husky Dog they’d also made.

IMG_3817 Besides the fact it’s a dog, I love their attention to detail.

IMG_3816 Okay, from this angle it looks like a llama to me.

Today I’m joining our friends at the 2 Brown Dawgs blog for This ‘N That Thursday.

Siriously, have you ever HEARD a dog fart?

This ‘N That Thursday

By

Today we join our friends at the 2 Brown Dawgs blog for This ‘N That Thursday.

http://2browndawgs.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/this-n-that-3.jpg

The 2 Brown Dawgs created This ‘N That Thursday for the days when you want to post a little bit about one topic, then a little bit about another.

It’s a Bummer

I had yesterday off, it was a planned day.  You know, just to extend my time away from work. 🙂

Tuesday evening I got up off the couch and had incredible pain in my right knee.  There went all my plans for my day off.

Sampson and Delilah desperately wanted to go for a walk, but I had to defer and wait for Hubby to come home so he could walk them around the block.

I literally cannot stand on my leg for more than a minute and there are times just hobbling about where I can barely stand.

I did go to the Dr. and I did have x-rays and nothing showed up.  I am resting the leg and taking Advil, if it is not feeling better by Monday, I will go to the Orthopedic Dr.

BlogPaws

I saw a notice from BlogPaws that they are looking for speakers for the upcoming conference.  Public speaking is my gig.  I love it.  It was the Public Speaking class in college that changed my major from Computer Programming to Communications.

There is a strict criteria for speaking at BlogPaws and I’m not sure I’m qualified for it.  I’m thinking a basic beginner class in how a beginning blogger grows their audience.

I need honest opinions here, we all know I’m not the greatest with technology, but if you don’t like this idea, is there something you think I’d be qualified to offer as a class?

Windows Live Writer

I found this little blogging tool from my new pal Gizmo from Terrier Torrent, he got it from Dawn Miklitch from NEPA Pets.

I’m hoping this post came out alright because I’m just now experimenting with it.  Besides being a program for blog writing, there are other features such as gathering all your mail accounts in one place, photo albums, messenger, scheduling your blog posts, (even though I know WP has the same feature.) etc.

The program is free and if I hate it, then I’ll uninstall it.

Sampson’s Website

I spent most of the last two days working on the redesign of Sampson’s blog.  He’s published his first post (with a bit of help from me) and I’m currently deciding if I will make a blog from Delilah’s viewpoint.

Check out my blog.

Check out my blog.

 

I think Delilah’s voice is easy for me to find, as I think of her as sassy and snappy.  Almost like a New Yorker or a Jersey Girl.

If you want to check out his site, you can find it here.

That’s it for This ‘N That Thursday, many thanks to our friends at the 2 Brown Dawgs Blog.

The Dogs of Blogville Calendar

OH. MY. GOD.

The calendars are at my local Fed-Ex facility!  They are expected to be at my house tomorrow and I expect to get them to the post on Saturday.

Some of you may receive them by MONDAY!!  This makes me super excited.

Once I have shipped them all out, I will do a write-up and let you know how much we actually raised for Life With Desmond and Champion of my Heart.

This calendar contest has been a wonderful learning experience for me, and I will share it all in the write-up.

Tuesday Night Tricks Class

As I mentioned yesterday, Ariane wanted to use Delilah as a demo dog to teach back-up.  I sneakily recorded a video.  Shhh….don’t tell her.

Instagram

How many of you have Instagram accounts?  Have you heard they are changing their terms of service as of the middle of January?  Their new terms state, “it may, someday, allow advertisers to repurpose user-taken images.”

Folks that means they will use your pictures for their own personal gain and it doesn’t look like they will be compensating you either.

Listen, I’m still struggling to use Twitter, so you can’t be surprised to know that I don’t upload a lot to Instagram, but what I do upload is mine.  If they decide to go forward with this new policy, I’m probably going to delete my account.

Google Reader

I’m finally caught up on my reading and hopefully I’ve commented nicely and not missed anything too important.  If I have, if you’ve had some life changing event and I’ve missed it, please let me know.

Here’s hoping you have a super duper day and you get a few moments to spoil yourself.

Oooh a little lower please, that's the spot.
