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

By

One of the big reasons I started this blog was for all the crazy, funny things my dogs do that bring a smile to my face or a laugh to my lips.

Sometimes it’s not easy to write a full blog post about it and sometimes I forget to share.

Some posts will be You Make Me Laugh and others will be You Make Me Smile, but they will all be the silly, sweet, funny things Sampson and Delilah do that help make crazy days just a little bit easier.

Feel free to share what your pet does to make you laugh/smile in the comments.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Delilah, the way your mouth is always wet in anticipation of food, you make me smile.

Yesterday when I was walking the dogs Delilah was tight against my leg wanting a treat.  When her mouth touched my pants it left a wet mark on them.

Immediately tears filled my eyes and without conscious thought I said, “I will always want to have a lab.”

She makes my life a lot of fun.

A side note: the photo was taken using an effect called “sparkle” which I found in the “magic” settings of my new camera.

Friday I’ll show you a photo of Delilah using the fun effect called “punk.”

So tell me, what do your dogs do that make you smile?  Is it a breed specific trait?

Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop

Thank you LInda for joining me.

Follow-Up Friday

Dawn said, “Fantastic follow up! I barely have enough time to read blogs, let alone comments.”

I’m with you there my friend.  It’s so hard trying to write, read and comment.  Sometimes I just can’t comment, but I hate not reading, you miss too many things!

You Make Me Smile – Star Wars Style

Yoda 2

Roxy asked, “LOL…How does he do that?”

I wish I knew.  His ears are frequently in strange positions.

Jackie asked, “Do you suppose they know their ears are bent all crazy but just don’t care?”

I’m not sure of that either!  I know my mom will always say, “fix your ear.”  Honestly I think it bothers her more than it bothers him. LOL

Oh Lord, My Water Broke

One Person’s View asked, “How did she get it out of the SINK?”

She stood on her hind legs, stuck her face in the sink and pulled it out.  I am constantly catching her with her face in the sink!  Sometimes she’s just lapping up dirty dishwater.

Basil asked, “Is it wrong that my only thought is well done for getting so far?!”

Hell no!  I was proud of her for that too!!  Once she actually pulled a GLASS bowl out of the sink and carried it into the living room.  I swear I don’t know how she does it!

Blueberry’s Human said, “I am totally impressed! I’m telling you – you need to have some cameras around there to watch how she does these things!”

I think you’re right.  People wouldn’t be watching the Pandas, they’d be watching Delilah!

Don’t Be a Dick

2 Brown Dawgs asked, “Did you think I would get my panties in a wad?…lol.”

No. You and I are cool.  You are very responsible with your dogs.

Jessica said, “I just wish people were more responsible with their pets. About everything, not just spay/neuter. Violating leash laws, not scooping, not training. All symptoms of the same problem.”

I agree.  I just wish they took the time to educate themselves, that would go a long way.

Misty said, “sorry for the rant.”

Never apologize for being passionate about something on this blog. 🙂

Jump Mama

Jackie said, ““How high, Delilah?” Hahahahaha. I can’t really see your mama saying that Delilah. But if you insist that that’s what you heard, then I’ll believe you.”

She made that shit up.  I would never say that.

This ‘N That Thursday

Animal Couriers said, “Good luck in shutting down that negligent vet. How on earth did they allow that?”

Oh I wish I knew!  Sometimes I really wonder what the heck goes on in some people’s minds.

Emma asked, “So what do the stripes on those furry little guys mean?”

You know, I’m not sure Emma, but I’m going to ask the person who told me about it.  I’ll get back to you!

That is a wrap for Follow-Up Friday.  Thank you to 2 Brown Dawgs for co-hosting this week.  Remember, if you’re interested in co-hosting Follow-Up Friday next week, let me know in the comments.

Have a great weekend!



This ‘N That Thursday

By

Today we join 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie for This ‘N That Thursday.  It’s a day designed for a pinch of this and a dash of that.  Many thanks to our hosts!

Protecting your dogs.

About three months ago Hubby and I added padlocks to both the gates leading into our yard.  While my bigger concern was one of the gates accidentally being left open, I realized after reading a post on Fidose Reality there are other reasons to padlock your gates.  If you get the chance pop over and read Eight Ways To Get Your Dog Stolen.   Lots of great info in there.

Fall Foliage

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA The other night when I was walking the dogs we had a good strong wind.  Honestly the leaves were falling like snow. Yes those round spots in the photo are actually leaves.

I love to take photos of the foliage, but in some of the more beautiful spots it’s rather difficult to get a photo without a power line or telephone pole in the way.  I knew my time was limited though, so I grabbed my camera and headed out to my favorite reservoir.

PicMonkey Fall Collage I love the reflections of the trees on the water.  The lower right hand photo is actually one of the trees in our field.  The leaves almost look frosted.

And because I have a nifty new camera which takes panorama photos, I couldn’t resist trying it out.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA I love the look so much, I decided to shoot one of our field too.

They say you can tell how hard the winter is going to be by the stripes on the wooly bears.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA I’m not sure about squashed wooly bears.  Too bad they didn’t tell this guy to stay out of the road.  I didn’t see him and ran him over.

Ferndale, Washington

This is totally worthy of a WTF post.  A Vet in Ferndale was allowed to keep his license despite admitting to most charges of botching surgeries, using unnecessary force on animals and taking pain killers that were designed for his patients.

I admit, I skimmed through the article because I didn’t want to get too hot.  The thing that really frosted my ass was the Board of Governors allowed him to keep his license.  That is definitely WTF!

My thoughts?  The Board of Governors has no balls.  But we do.  Let’s get this son of a bitch’s name out and shut the mutherfucker down.  Share the story on your social media outlets warning people of this man and what he is capable of.

Let’s get the word out and make sure this guy doesn’t get the opportunity to hurt someone else’s pet.

You can read the entire article here.

Follow-Up Friday

My co-hostess this week is Linda from 2 Brown Dawgs.  Check back tomorrow when I answer some comments and wrap up our week.

Thanks again to 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie!
