Welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday, the blog hop that let’s you wrap up your week and leads you right into the weekend.

Follow-Up Friday

About those wooly bears:

Sue said, “When the brown bands on woolly worms are narrow, it means a harsh winter. The wider the brown band, the milder the winter will be.”

I knew it was something like that!

Frankie and Ernie had a great post with detailed information about what the stripes on the wooly bears mean.

You Make Me Smile – I’ll Always Want a Lab

Houndstooth asked, “Delilah is one dog I would love to meet in person! Can you bring her to Vegas for me?”

I know that anything goes in Vegas, but honestly I’m not sure even sin city is ready for this dog!

Blueberry’s Human said, “Nose prints on my clothes though – or nose juice running down my neck in the morning from B’s head being under my chin – that makes me smile every time. The first time it happened I thought I was sweating and then realized, ‘Nope, that’s from her nose!’.”

Now that made me laugh!  Neither of my dogs have ever dripped ‘nose juice’ down my neck.

And here is the punk picture as promised.

 

I love this photo, it looks to me like she’s smiling!

I Spy With My Little Eye

So here is the original photo.

 

And here are the comments:

Jackie said, “Yeah – how do we get the average non-picker-upper to pick up? Those are probably the same “the rules don’t apply to ME” people I see all the time doing stuff like texting while they drive. How do we get them to stop doing ALL the bad things they do?”

I wish i knew.

Oz said, “I snoop, and I snoop but I cannot locate the poop (in the photo)!”

I love this Oz!  Even when it’s not limerick month, you are still a rhyming kind of dog!

Donna said, “Ugh. I can understand losing it in the leaves, that happens in my own yard, especially with Miss Medi the walk-while-she-poos dog, but in the middle of the path??”

Delilah does that too.  In fact, sometimes I call her “Delilah shit-walker.”  Shhh, don’t tell her.

Sugar asked, “Yikes on Delilah … did it smelled?”

I didn’t smell it, but I think it was a couple of days old and had lost it’s potency.

I’m pretty sure that some of you spotted the poop, only you know for sure.  Let me know if you did.

She Just Needed a Chance

Callie, Shadow and Ducky’s Mom asked, “What I can’t figure out is why the adoption fee at your pound is 10 times higher. For residents than it is for non-residents. Shouldn’t it be at the very least only a few dollars higher; and more logically a few dollars lower??”

You know, I really wanted to call the pound and ask them, but then I knew I’d ask about her and I was afraid of the answer.  I’ll try and call this week.

Jessica asked, “Is there any way you could get a group together to advocate for longer hold times?”

We do have some really great animal advocates in this state.  I’ll see what I can find out.

My other thought is, their website says, “Can be euthanized” at the 10th day, and I’m wondering if that is dependent upon how many animals they are housing.

2 Brown Dawgs said, “I don’t understand the thinking of removing a dog from any given situation only to euthanize it. Or maybe euthanizing this dog was what they had in mind when it was removed? That to me is the question.”

Another really good question.  My thought is euthanizing the animal is more compassionate than letting it die slowly and suffering.

Fetch Mama

Gizmo said, “Delilah you’re a great coach but like your mom there are some pounds on Momz that won’t come off no matter how hard I work her…She tells me it’s cause she’s older than dirt and her metabolism is broken…Now I don’t know what that means, but I think she’s just lazy.”

Delilah here:  I wonder if that’s not the case with my Mama too, she seems to always have an excuse for not doing something.

And Mama?  I read that and that’s just mean.

Which Way Did He Go?

Chipmunks are cute, but they can be very destructive.  Sadly we need to find a way to remove them.

And on another sad note, Bennie the Frenchie, the little hero of our calendar fundraiser, lost his fight yesterday.   Our hearts and prayers are with his Mama and Lily.

That’s a wrap for this week’s Follow-Up Friday.  If you are interested in co-hosting, please let me know either in the comments, on facebook or drop me an e-mail.
