You Make Me Laugh – September 22, 2013

September 22, 2013 By Jodi

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.

Bubbers, when you catch the toy and then lay on it, or hold it so I can’t throw it again, you make me laugh.

What does your dog do to let you know they’re done playing?

Follow-Up Friday – September 20, 2013

September 20, 2013 By Jodi

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 Blog Hop

As I mentioned yesterday, my co-hostess this week is Linda from 2 Brown Dawgs.  I love reading about Thunder, Storm and Freighter and their hunting/training exploits.  If you are unfamiliar with this blog, you’re really missing out.  I learn so much from this lady.

You Make Me Smile, Then You Make Me Laugh

I wished I’d said, “Do you have a privacy pooper or a daring dumper?” Instead of “Do you have a dog that digs privacy when they poop?  Or is yours more like Delilah who will go wherever the urge hits her?”

Bren asked, ” BTW, do your babies do that kick back after they pooh and then going running like a bat outta he**?”

First, you can say hell on this blog Bren, no judgements. 😀  Second, sometimes Sampson kicks, but mostly he just dumps and runs.  Delilah is the kicker, but she doesn’t run afterwards.  She kicks a lot though.  Many times I’ve come awful close to getting a face full of dirt because of her kicking.

Margie Guess said, “BYW.. I’m Ginger the Cinderella girl.”

I don’t know what that means Margie, but you have my attention.  If you have a blog would you please provide the link?

Sampson HAS gotten better, in fact he pooped right on the lawn at the Vet’s last week.  But when he was younger, I would pick him up at daycare and he would head strait for the back yard so he could do his business.  I peed on the side of a thruway once so I’m not sure how I got this modest dog.

Good Morning Monday

Jan K said, “Oh no, just when I was getting ready to say how great his leg looks….has he had a limp before?”

He has had a limp before, but it comes and goes.  Since he limped on Monday I haven’t seen him do it again.  It could just be that he spends an awful lot of time just laying around and his leg was a bit stiff.  I’ll be keeping an eye on it.

Jen said, “Why the hell is he limping? Its gotta be a coincidence. He’s just trying to drive you off the deep end.”

I think you’re totally right.  He just wants me more neurotic than I already am!

Oh and I’m so glad that so many of you don’t like to just hand your pets over either. 🙂

Heya – Meet Taya

2 Brown Dawgs asked, “Hope she finds a good home! I wonder if Corgi rescue would take her?”

Taya went with a possible adopter for a couple days stay on a trial basis.  Sadly it didn’t work out.  Taya was guarding the towel hanging from the lady’s refrigerator and wouldn’t let her open it.   It made the woman uncomfortable, so she returned Taya.  BTW Taya was very happy to leave.

The family member who currently has her already has her hands full with three dogs, so she’s contacting a rescue who has already agreed to take Taya and is working on the best way to transition her.

For anyone who might be interested she is currently in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Sue said, “As for a plan… the kids have been warned – the dogs are getting everything.”

Oooh, you’re brave Sue, I haven’t told mine yet. 😀

Coffee and Donuts with Peggy Frezon

I don’t know about you, but when I was in my 20’s and 30’s I could eat just about anything and never gain an ounce.  NOW it seems like I look at a donut and I’ve gained a pound.

Sometimes I feel like it’s hopeless.  I really do try and watch what I eat and I walk every day, yet I still have that heavy middle that just won’t go away.

Maybe I need to up my game?

This ‘N That Thursday

Jan said, “I can remember not long ago when people lost their lives because they wouldn’t leave their pets in a disaster. I’m so glad that people are understanding how important our furry family members are.”

I’m glad too Jan, I would never abandon my dogs, in fact I have a plan to get home to my house via the trails should there ever be a situation where the roads are closed.

And many thanks to Flea, ” If you really are free to a good home, there’s space in our bonus room. We have a nice library. But no TV.”

Do you have Wifi? I have an iPad so as long as I have Wifi I don’t need TV.

Donna said “I do look forward to seeing what hi-jinks your dogs have planned for the Human-Shaming Blog Hop. Especially Delilah. She’s a crafty one.”

Yes, yes she is.  She’s also sarcastic and can be a bit snarky.  I hope I can keep her under control. 😀

That’s a wrap for me, many thanks to 2 Brown Dawgs for co-hosting the hop!

Please stop by 2 Brown Dawgs and see what they’re up to!

Human Shaming

My goal when I sit down to write a blog post is to bring a smile to someone’s face, it’s not always easy with some of the topics I tackle which is why when an opportunity comes to let it rip, I try and jump on that bandwagon.

Well friends, the opportunity is next Wednesday.  Back by popular demand Heart Like a Dog will be taking part in the Human Shaming Blog Hop hosted by Kol’s Notes and My Brown Newfies.  For those readers new to the blog, Sampson and Delilah really took me to task last year.  If you’re interested you can read all about it here. Funny stuff?  Yes.  A  little embarrassing?  Definitely!!

humanshaming1 To be truthful, I’m a tad bit nervous thinking of the humiliating photos I’ve had taken this year and wondering what those two will come up with.

The Flooding in Colorado

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the horror stories coming out of Colorado, they are calling it the 100 year flood and it means exactly that, the type of flooding that generally happens only once in a 100 year period.

As you know, when a natural disaster affects people it also affects our pets.  The numbers are staggering:

  • 21 helicopters were being used Monday for evacuations
  • 11,750 people have been evacuated
  • 8 people have lost their lives
  • 658 people are still unaccounted for, which means no one has been able to get a hold of them. This number continues to decline as more people are rescued.
  • This is being called the 100 Year Flood, here’s a little on what that means: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/FS-229-96/
  • Approximately 2,377 agricultural properties have been affected
  • 36 shelters are now open serving hundreds of people and pets
  • Flood conditions are spread across 200 miles covering 15 counties (these facts are courtesy of BlogPaws.)

Helping Pets in the Colorado Flood Disaster - BlogPaws Be the Change for Pets

As a member of The Blogger Disaster Response Network, I’ve taken a pledge to help get the word out, so people who are interested in helping know where to go to help.

No surprise but many companies have stepped up to help animals that are affected by this disaster, I urge you to check out the BlogPaws website if you are interested in helping.

Follow-Up Friday

My co-hostess for tomorrow’s Follow-Up Friday blog hop is none other than our dear friends at 2 Brown Dawgs blog.

Check back tomorrow for a recap of our week.

This is the This ‘N That Thursday blog hop, created and hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs.
