Follow-Up Friday, July 19, 2013

July 19, 2013 By Jodi

Thank you for joining me for Follow-Up Friday, the blog hop that let’s you wrap up your week and leads you right into the weekend.

https://www.heartlikeadog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/follow-up-friday.jpg

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, my co-hostess this week is the fabulously wonderful Jodi Chick from Kol’s Notes.  Don’t just take my word for it.   You know Kol’s Notes is a finalist in this years Petties, right?  I mean Holy Woof, my co-hostess this week not only won a Nose to Nose Award for best Bark Blog, she’s also up for a Pettie for Best Dog Blog.   Some of our other blogging friends are up for awards as well, so make sure you go vote.

I feel like I’m blogging with royalty.  Thank you so much for co-hosting this week Jodi!

You Make Me Smile

Emma said, “Mom says the ultimate lazy dog move was about 2 years ago when she took me out to pee and I laid down and peed while lying down.”

Wow Emma that is either really lazy or you weren’t feeling well at all.  But I’m with mom, I would probably find that disgusting.

Kim said, ” I can’t lay down and eat, so how do they?”

Good question Kim I wonder that myself!  I also worry that he’ll choke.

Flea said, “My dog makes me laugh when he’s running away from the duck.”

That would make me laugh too Flea, except I’ve seen how mean Petey is.  I’d run from him too. 😉

In CT it’s Against the Law

Marie asked, “what is a pig gestation crate?”

I’m not sorry to tell you that I don’t know.  I don’t want to know either.  Sue knows, and she will tell you but please NOT HERE.  While I love to advocate for animal welfare there are some things that I just can’t read about because it gives me such anxiety that I cannot sleep.

Suffice to say, it’s horrifying.

2 Brown Dawgs commented, “Some of those things are good, but why do the animal rights people always have to go after the hunters?”

I would say because just like everything else, certain people take advantage of or abuse privileges which ends up impacting everyone.

Pam asked, “Why have a pet if you’re just going to tie it up outside?”

Probably because it’s not really a ‘pet,’ at least it’s not treated as such.  Some people have such horrible views about animals and proper treatment.

Little Lady No Name

I love how some of you gave her a name.  There is something so inexplicably sad to me that she has no name.

I don’t know if she made it out or not, I was too afraid to call the pound.

Such Intensity

Top of stairs

 

You had a lot of good guesses, but no-one guessed right.

My favorite comment came from Elyse, “I’m gonna guess that Delilah was acting crazy at the bottom of the stairs and he was giving her a “WTF?” look.”

The funny thing is, I totally picture him rolling his eyes when she does some of her crazy antics.

So here’s what he was looking at.

You guys remember Bob?  Bob Stone?

Yuppers, it was Bob Stone the cat.

This ‘N That Thursday

Blueberry’s Human said, “Yay – loved the calendar – it really is good quality and the photos are excellent!”

Thank you.  The reason this means so much to me is she bought one of the calendars.  In fact, Blueberry is the featured dog for the month of October.

Blue

 Callie, Shadow and Ducky’s mom said, “I’ll be glad to send you some bugs … hehe”  And Donna said, “Jodi – you are so lucky it hasn’t been buggy by you.”

Perhaps I wasn’t clear.  Walking the dogs around the neighborhood at 9:00 pm was fairly bug free, going out on our normal walks in the woods and we are bombarded.  We are not lacking bugs, thank you very much!

Now this one is going back a ways.

Seven Ways to Pissed Off

Remember this?

Yesterday when we went to the park, all the signs were gone.  I’m not complaining, but I am curious as to what happened.

That’s it for me, thanks again to my co-hostess Jodi Chick.  This is the Follow-Up Friday Blog hop hosted by Kol’s Notes and Heart Like a Dog.

This ‘N That Thursday – July 18, 2013

July 18, 2013 By Jodi

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

This 'N That Thursday

It’s a little of this, a little of that and everything in between….

Follow-up Friday –

You remember my good friend Jodi Chick?  She co-hosted the blog hop with me a few weeks back and I’m happy to say, it didn’t scare her off.  She’s back for another go and will be co-hosting with me tomorrow.

Jodi got royally screwed and I don’t mean by one of those handsome princes.  No, Big Brother Google (the incestuous bum) screwed Jodi’s RSS feed when Google Reader went the way of the dodo.  Jodi needs some help getting her readers back.  If you don’t read Kol’s Notes you are really missing a great blog.  So please hop on over and check them out.  Oh and don’t forget to add her RSS feed to whatever reader you’re using.

I happen to be using Feedly right now and I was getting Kol’s Notes every day, but all of a sudden nothing!  So if you’re a follower of Koly’s and haven’t been getting his posts, you may want to go back in and add them to your reader again.  When I added the feed yesterday I had to add a /feed to the end of the web address and viola, I got Kol’s Notes back in my feed again!

Excessive Heat Warning-

Just like the rest of the country, we’re in the midst of a heat wave.  The weather is so hot and humid, walking should be done early morning or later at night.  Right now I’m keeping our walks short.  Like 20 minutes short.  It’s just too dangerous otherwise.  Last night we walked the dogs at 9:00 pm and it was still 86 degrees out.

The good thing?  There weren’t very many bugs!

Dogs of Blogville Calendar Contest-

You remember the hastily put together Dogs of Blogville Calendar Contest in October/November of last year?  I decided in a moment of brilliance or stupidity to have a calendar contest that ended up benefiting some fellow bloggers.  I threw the idea out, got some photos back and then I was lost.  Thankfully I have an amazing blogville family and the extremely awesome and incredibly talented Julie from The Daily Dog Blog and Leg Up Creative Solutions threw herself in the water with me and handled every detail of the calendar design and production.

Every. Single. Detail.

Well my dears, Julie has agreed to once again assist with this calendar project.  I hope to nail the specifics down and make an announcement next week with the contest guidelines.  So if you’re planning on purchasing calendars this year, you may want to set some money aside.

And start looking through your photos.

For those who didn’t purchase a calendar last year, this is the beauty who has been gracing my wall these past 18 days.

Honey from Something Wagging This Way Comes.

 

You can see what a great job Julie did with designing the calendars, the material is good quality, the calendars are printed in the good ole US of A AND the modest price of the calendar included the shipping.

While I haven’t yet priced calendars this year, I expect them to fall within the $20 to $25 range, which should include shipping.

So stay tuned!

Many thanks to our friends at 2 Brown Dawgs Blog.

Such Intensity

July 17, 2013 By Jodi

Sometimes I look over at my dogs and I wonder what the hell do they think of?

Then other times I wonder, what the hell is he looking at?

Top of stairs

Something sure caught his attention at the bottom of the stairs.

Anyone willing to guess what it was?  I’ll share the answer in Friday’s post.
