The New Year’s Ball Dropped

By

(Once again, Technorati PAY ATTENTION THE BLOODY TOKEN IS RIGHT HERE 5XRHW22GZDXX).

Happy 2013!  That sound you heard?  Yup that was me dropping the New Year’s ball.

I wish I’d thought about making a “Best Of” post, but I didn’t. So I’m officially putting that on my 2013 ‘to do’ list, along with a myriad of other things, which I’ll outline in a future post.

All of us at Heart Like A Dog hope your New Year’s Eve was safe and fun and we are wishing you a healthy, happy and prosperous New Year filled with everything you love.

Speaking of things I love, here’s two of them for your viewing pleasure.  You may want to turn your volume down a bit, the camera was right in front of me and they were not. 🙂

This video was taken the morning after the 8+ inches of snow we got this past Saturday. (More to come on that in a later post.)

Thank you for a great 2012, you’ve taught me so much and helped me grow in so many ways.  You’ve hung with me when I moved to self-hosting, read my posts, listened to me whine, comforted and cheered me when I was down, picked me up when I struggled, the list is endless.

I am truly blessed to have all of you in my life.

Happy New Year from all of us at Heart Like A Dog!!!

 

Let It Snow

By

We call mischief on the snow that started Saturday afternoon and continued through the evening.

My daughter had gone out and after we had eaten dinner and cleaned up I decided to let Beauregard out of his ‘casa’ so he could potty.

The fact that he is a four-month old bull-dog puppy and we had at least eight inches of snow on the ground never dawned on me until I opened the door.

The snow reached the top of the shovel.

The snow reached the top of the shovel.

 

Hubby ran out to the front to get the shovel.

Bo took one look at the snow and said, no way.

No amount of coaxing could convince him to go outside.  Even after Hubby shoveled a path and we used treats to try to coax him, he wouldn’t budge.

I don't care what you offer me, I ain't goin.

I don’t care what you offer me, I ain’t goin.

 

Hubby went outside with the umbrella to shield him from the snow but the umbrella seemed to scare him.

Instead he came back inside and piddled on the rug.

When my daughter came home she asked, Did you put his coat on?

Um no, I didn’t realize he needed a coat to go outside.

They put his coat on and he ran outside and pottied.

When Sampson and Delilah went out a short while later, they had to break their own path.

You just push your way through it.

You just push your way through it.

 

Did you get snow where you live?  Did I mention this is the Monday Mischief Blog Hop hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog, Luna a Dog’s Life and My Brown Newfies?

Hey Sweetness

By

Hey there.

Sampson here, and Delilah’s right next to me.  Today we’re picking up the slack for mom.  We found out yesterday that she waited over two weeks to accept an award.

Delilah: Quite frankly I find this….well….unacceptable.  I mean, she expects me to learn three or four tricks in a night and she can’t even be bothered to accept an award in a reasonable amount of time.

I swear I wish they made a clicker I could use, I could whip that woman into shape if I…..

Sampson: Delilah, can you focus?  We’re here to answer some questions that go along with the Super Sweet Blogging Award we’re accepting for mom today.

supersweetlarge

You know the one presented to her by Gizmo from Terrier Torrent?

Delilah:  Oh, yes that little fluffy dog mom pointed out to us the other day.  I’m not sure I’d like being a fluffy dog, it seems to me there’s a lot more work that goes into keeping yourself presentable then our short fur.  I mean I suppose….

Sampson: DELILAH!  Can we get on with it?  It’s almost time for our walk.

Apparently these awards come with some type of guidelines…rules if you will, that we must follow.  This one has questions we need to answer.

Are you ready?  Here are the questions, I’ll answer first.

1. Cookies or Cake?

Sampson: Cookies of course.

Delilah: Cookies, definitely cookies.  I mean what dog doesn’t like cookies?

2. Chocolate or Vanilla?

Sampson: Vanilla, I’ve never had chocolate.

Delilah: Well duh, I’m chocolate, of course I love chocolate, even though mom just about loses her mind when she catches me eating it.

3. What is your favorite sweet treat?

Sampson: Strawberry milkshakes.

Delilah: I’d have to say chocolate….wait a minute!  You get strawberry milkshakes?  When do you get strawberry milkshakes?  I never get strawberry milkshakes.  MOM!!

4. When do you crave sweet things the most?

Sampson: The only real time I eat sweets is at 9:00 pm snack time.

Delilah:  Oh yesssss!!  Snack time!  I LOVE snack time, when she takes those little bones and freezes them with pumpkin and applesauce OR better pumpkin and yogurt.  Oh, oh wait my absolute favorite is the Kong stuffed with pineapple and yogurt.  YUMMO.  We haven’t had those in a long time, I wonder…

Sampson:  Hem, hem.  The questions Delilah, let’s finish this up please.

5. If you had a sweet nickname, what would it be?

Sampson: The closet I’m called to anything sweet is Punkin.

Delilah: Duh, Sweet Pea, Dad always calls me Sweet Pea.  I love Dad.

Sampson: The next part of the award involves passing it along to 13 other bloggers.

Delilah: 13?!!  Do we even KNOW 13 bloggers?

Sampson: Do you want to help or not?

Delilah: Well of course I want to help.  I’ll nominate all the blogs with the handsome dogs….

Sampson: Never mind Delilah, I’ve got this one.

Delilah: I wouldn’t put it past her, she’s tricksy that one.

Sampson: As I was saying, as far as we know she is caught up now.  I hope you enjoyed our picks for the Super Sweet Blogging Award, and we hope you visit their blogs and make some new friends.

Delilah: Special thanks to our friend Gizmo for passing this award along to us.

Sampson: Is it time for our walk yet?
