Heart Like a Dog

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

The Watcher Dog

By

Because Sampson and Delilah have different exercise requirements and get walked separately, one of them is always home waiting.

Most mornings Delilah gets up with me, waits while I prepare foods and once I’m done, she heads back to snuggle in my bed.

When Sampson and I get back, she’s either lying in the Dog Daddy’s lap, or she’s walking towards the door from the general area of the bedroom.

I’ve always wondered HOW she knows when we’re on our way back, and just assumed it was that she heard us somehow.

Last week I found out the truth.

My sister was down for the weekend and spent Friday night with us. Saturday morning, I walked Sampson while my sister made coffee.  When we got back, my sister spilled the beans on Delilah.

Delilah did not go back to bed, instead, she sat at the door on small deck and WATCHED for us.

Not an actual picture of her watching, but adorable none-the-less.

Is that not the cutest thing, ever?

It made me smile just hearing about it. What did your pet do to make you smile this week?

You make me laugh, or smile. The sweet, funny, loving things dogs do that make us laugh or smile.

Get Out of the Car – Slowly

By

As with most events of late, I’m not there with my camera when they do something funny. I mean, let’s face it, most of our walks are in the dark.

Nothing to see there.

Except for Friday night. Friday night I was walking Sampson, and relishing in the fact the leaves had all been picked up and I no longer had to worry about a dog suddenly dive into the leaves.

As we came down the hill, I made note of the car parked in front of a neighbor’s house. Sampson was diddly bopping along when suddenly he spotted the car as well.

He walked right up to the front, then lifted his head, and craned his neck so he could check out the inside. Not seeing anything, he moved along to the driver’s door, then finally to the rear panel, checking each window out as he passed. All the while I was telling him there was no-one in the car.

At the rear of the car, he stopped and barked at it, as if to say, “Hey, get out of the car, I need some loving.”

That’s when I lost it. I laughed so hard at my sweet, social guy.

Did You Hear That?

Delilah is a dog that likes to walk when she’s doing her business. That’s how she got the nickname Delilah Shitwalker. I don’t know how she does this, I mean, I’ve done walking squats and there’s nothing pleasant about it.

This only becomes problematic at certain times of year. Times like when it’s dark when we walk or when there are a lot of leaves on the ground.

Times like now.

Usually I’m pretty good at keeping track of where she’s walking, but the past two weeks, I’ve lost track of two turds.

I know.

The good news is, the town hasn’t picked up leaves yet, and they will use a big vacuum. Odds are, the vacuum will just suck it up and no-one will be the wiser.

Last night we walked while it was still light out, and I was able to keep track of where she was going. Of course it helped that she ended up in the street and dropped her last one there.

Honestly, how many dogs do you know that shit in the street?

Anyhow, I was watching her like a cat watches a mouse, when suddenly a dog barked on the next street over.

Did you hear that?

I laughed when she stayed in her squat position, but stopped what she was doing to look in the direction of the dog bark.

You make me laugh (or smile.) The sweet, loving, funny things dogs do that make us laugh or smile.
