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

It’s A Pissing Contest – Barks and Bytes

By

Since Sampson did a partial tear on his cruciate he isn’t aloud to be outside unsupervised. This development has given me the opportunity to observe a couple of things about my dogs.

The first being when walking the dog, I have a better chance of getting past another dog or a distraction with only one dog vs attempting it with two.

The second has to due with their competition with each other. I always KNEW they were in competition, all you have to do is ask my arms and they will tell you, it’s a competition to determine who will lead the walk.

What I didn’t know was just exactly HOW competitive they really were.

That is until yesterday.

Yesterday it was brought to my attention that my dogs are in a pissing contest.

Literally.

My dogs are in a pissing contest.

It started like this. Tuesday night I took the dogs out for the last potty of the night. Sampson for some unknown reason decided to pee in the snow that was left on the deck. (You remember, that white shit we got from Mother Nature’s temper tantrum Sunday into Monday.)

Done, over, we went to bed.

Yesterday morning Delilah wanted to go outside and as I watched her, she sniffed the snow where Sampson had peed and then took a few steps past it and she peed.

When Sampson went out again, he took a few steps past Delilah’s pee spot and then he peed.

Then she peed past his pee and then he peed past her pee.

The end is nigh.

The left arrow is her 2nd pee and the right arrow is his third.  And that’s the end of the deck. SMH

Last time I looked there were five pee spots on the deck.

Yup, it’s a pissing contest at my house.

Do you have dogs that compete with each other? How do you deal with it?

Pee past this biatch.

Pee past this biatch.

The Last Barks and Bytes

Thursday, January 23, 2014 was the first day of the Barks and Bytes Blog hop, hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs and yours truly.  It’s been a great two (plus) years, but all good things must come to an end and after much deliberation, Linda and I have decided it’s time to end to the hop.

I’ve met some truly wonderful people through the blog hop and gotten to read some amazing blogs that I might not have found on my own. For that I’m very grateful.

I’d like to thank you all for joining and supporting us on the blog hop and I’d like to say a special thanks to Linda for being such a great co-hostess. I certainly couldn’t have done it without her.

All Points Bulletin

By

We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog post today to bring you this important public service announcement.

United States of America, April 5, 2016

Today police along with the National Weather Service issued an All Points Bulletin (APB) for Mother Nature and Punxsutawney Phil. These two b-list ‘celebrities’ have been accused of a most duplicitous crime against the American people.

Nine weeks ago, Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his home in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania and boldly predicted an early spring. This prediction came as a surprise to millions as Phil has a solid record of typically predicting six more weeks of winter.

Mother Nature who is reputed to be in collusion with the shifty Ground Hog was scheduled to usher the spring season in on the 20th of March. Yet despite mild temperatures towards the end of March, winter seems to have come back with a vengeance in many areas throughout the United States.

Pictures taken in CT in the last two days confirm the heinous nature of this crime.

The trees, while thrilled to be resplendent in winter white, were over-burdened with snow and did their best impression of a frat boy after a long night of drinking.

The forsythia are pissed off.

The forsythia have hired an attorney to file a formal complaint against what they are calling an egregious injustice.

Police are requesting the American public be on the look out for the two suspects, but to be wary of approaching either one.

The Internet, especially Facebook is particularly interested in finding Mother Nature, in fact, it seems her information has been shared almost to the point of becoming viral.

Punxsutawney Phil is a ground hog and while typically gentle by nature, Jimmy, Phil’s Wisconsin counter-part did bite the ear that heard him during his last personal appearance.

If you see Mother Nature or Punxsutawney Phil, do not, I repeat DO NOT try and apprehend them yourself, that is best left to the professionals.

Phil?

Phil?

Phil, is that you?

Phil, is that you?

You can run, but you can't. I can smell you, you little fucker.

You can run, but you can’t hide. I can smell you, you little fucker.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

You Make Me Laugh – April 3, 2016

By

You make me laugh (or smile), the sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do that bring a smile to my face, or a laugh to my lips.

So here’s the picture that I have for today

What?

What?

But what you see isn’t what made me laugh.

I had changed the sheets on my bed and switched from the warm winter comforter to the lighter spring/summer quilt. I went in to go to bed and Sampson had pulled the covers back and was lying on them.

Sleeping with two dogs, I typically end up against the wall, so when I make the bed, I put extra on the wall side, so I still get some coverings.

When I walked into the room, Sampson had taken all my covers and was lying on them. Since he didn’t seem inclined to move, I began pulling the quilt out from under him, careful not to hurt his injured knee.

As soon as I had all the covers out from underneath him, he rolled over onto his other side. Which made me laugh.

In the picture his back is to the wall, but when he rolled over, his back was now on the open part of the bed, so I while I laughed, I stretched out next to him and spooned him.

While this was taking place, Delilah stuck her nose in my ass.

Which really made me laugh.

What did your pets do that made YOU laugh this week?
