You Make Me Smile – October 22, 2017

October 22, 2017 By Jodi

There was a time, not too long ago, when Hubby would work outside and Sampson had to be out there with him. Sadly, due to injuries, he doesn’t show the desire to do so too frequently. There are still times when the only way we can get him to go outside for his last potty of the night, is for Hubby to take him out front. And there are still times when he goes with Hubby on Tuesday nights to take the trash to the curb, but those times are occasionally now, instead of regular.

As I mentioned in the beginning of the week, Sampson has been so much peppier since he’s been taking on the Treatibles.

You can imagine my joy when he came outside to hang with Mom and Dad while we did yard work yesterday morning.

This for sure makes me smile.

What made you smile this week?

When Your Dog Knows…

October 15, 2017 By Jodi

Sometimes life can be challenging. Here at Casa de Stone, we’ve had a few challenging months.

It started with an office move the end of July, rolled into some minor health-related problems for me, and Thursday night I noticed Delilah had another ulcer in her eye. Took her to the vet on Friday, and she actually had three ulcers! So now she’s on antibiotic drops.

I’ve always found my peace and solitude in the woods when I’m walking the dogs. Weekday walks are really limited for time, so the woods are off limits. On the weekends, Delilah gets a longer walk than normal, and she has a favorite route she likes to follow…but sometimes…

Into the woods…

Sometimes…your dog just knows just what your soul  needs.

They call to my soul

The woods call to me and replenish my soul.

And that makes me smile.

Crab Apples Make Me Laugh

October 1, 2017 By Jodi

You’ve all heard the stories of what Labradors eat…just from Delilah I can say, baker’s chocolate, butter, color pencils, play dough, dryer sheets, well, the list goes on and on.

There’s a house at the end of the street, and it has a little tree in the from yard. In the fall, this little tree drops little apples.  I’ve always thought the apples were crab apples, mostly because of this gal.

.

Naturally these apples are particularly appealing to a Labrador. I mean, if you’re willing to eat colored pencils, you can only imagine what an apple smells like.

We do work on the leave-it command on our walk, but at 6:00 am I’m not always paying attention, and Delilah knows it.

It’s the funniest thing really. She picks up the apple and tries to bite it. I’m assuming it tastes terrible, because she shakes her head, and curls her lip. She looks like she’s doing the Labrador’s impression of Elvis. LOL

Sometimes she drops it on her own, sometimes I have to convince her, but it doesn’t stop her from the next time.

And she doesn’t limit her munching to apples. Nope, I have to keep my eyes sharp, because she’ll eat anything that smells like food.

I usually laugh at her silly antics, especially because she keeps trying despite the fact every apple she’s ever attempted to eat off that tree, hasn’t tasted well.
