Thwarted Again!

April 23, 2017 By Jodi

Sometimes…when you have dogs, you have the greatest of intentions to do something nice for them.

But sometimes, dogs have their own ideas of what they like.

Spring has finally arrived in the northeast, and while we’ve been having a lot of rain…(April showers and all), so we are treasuring those sunny days.

Last week, I ran out to do some errands, and Hubby thought Sampson might like to spend a little time outside in the sun. He grabbed a couple of throw rugs and laid them out on the deck.

You can see them in the photo, right there to the left of Sampson, who apparently felt the leaves would be a nicer place to snooze.

And Hubby and I, laughed and laughed.

Leave this for that? He’s out of his mind!

When has your dog thwarted one of your good intentions?

You’re Gonna Love My Nuts

April 21, 2017 By Jodi

Since I went back to work full-time, walking the dogs has been a challenge. Hubby works late three nights a week, but on his two early nights, he’s agreed to walk the dogs with me.

I’m not going to lie. I struggled the first week. The first night we went up to the woods. Delilah and I went one way and Hubby went the other way with Sampson. When I turned around and they were gone, I literally sobbed. When I told Hubby, he said he was pretty sure Sampson did too. 🙁

You guys, I’ve been walking both dogs by myself for at least five years. For the last two, they’ve been walked separately twice a day. I guess you could say, we’ve sort of got a rapport going.

Breaking that up is harder than hard.

SO, this week, Hubby and I have been walking the dogs together. I think it’s a bit of a challenge for Sampson, but we keep it slow and only go around the neighborhood or field.

I’ve said many times, I need to have a Go-Pro camera set-up, because you just can’t make this shit up.

We were walking past one of the houses with dogs that bark at us.  Delilah and I were ahead of Hubby by a good 25 to 45 feet.

I heard a noise, and it sounded like a dog hitting a blind. I heard Hubby said, “Now THAT was funny.”

I turned, saw a dog in the window and thought, the dog must have banged the blind or something.

Then Hubby says, “Do you see that nut rolling down the street?”

I turned to look and he pointed to the other side of the street, where sure enough, an acorn was rolling down the street, hugging the curb.

Apparently what happened was, a chipmunk with an acorn in his mouth was running across the street, when it suddenly realized Delilah and I were there.

The chipmunk must have experienced an OH SHIT moment, he dropped his nut and turned around and ran the other way.

Oh shit! I dropped a nut.

Neither Delilah or I saw him.

The things you see without your Go-Pro.

Happy Easter, April 16, 2017

April 16, 2017 By Jodi

Based on my dog’s personalities, I love imaging conversations that they might have between them if they could speak.

I always imagine Delilah as the little sister, honing into the food aspect of any situation.

And I imagine Sampson as the exasperated older brother, taxed by the little one.

Do you imagine conversations with your pets?

And, Happy Easter from all of us at Heart Like a Dog!
