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

 

My co-hostess this week has co-hosted with me many times. Most of you follow the training exploits of Thunder, Storm and Freighter and if you don’t what are you waiting for?

I’ve come to depend on her for many things, not the least of which is to help me see the other side of certain issues.  I can count on her for just about anything and I’ve never even met her. 🙂

Please help me welcome my friend Linda, from the 2 Brown Dawgs blog.

Thanks for everything you’ve done for me with this blog hop Linda, I really appreciate it.

Black and White Sunday

This picture was taken shortly after Delilah joined our home, it is one of my favorite photos of the dogs, even though you can’t really see either dog’s face.

Animal Couriers said, “What glorious ripples of light along Delilah’s back!”  It’s funny I had posted the photo when I noticed them myself, she almost looks like a Ridgeback. 🙂

Coralee said, “Four-legged Twister, without the mat!” I like that!

Cupcake said, “I kind of see one and a quarter dogs….? Playing rolypoly?”  You know Hubby and I could sit and watch our dogs wrestle for hours, they are really entertaining.

Like me, many of you have forgotten about awards also, that made me feel a tad bit better.

Emma had a great suggestion, “When I get one I copy the link to the blog post that gave it to me onto a word doc and save it on my desktop.”  Good idea Emma, thanks for sharing that!

Jackie stated she puts the link into a draft post immediately.

Flea asked, “Was Sampson sitting in the middle of the street?”

No, sadly that cracked and car filled bit of asphalt is our driveway.

JoAnn asked, “Sampson was a good boy and didn’t even get up to chase the goldens?”

Initially he was lying down, but you can tell when something peaks his interest.  He sat up and I said to Hubby who was about 15 feet behind him that there were dogs, so Hubby reminded him that he needed to stay.

He really is a good boy.  He loves to lie out in the driveway and watch the world go by.  Delilah can never be out front unless her leash is looped around the tree.  She would NEVER be content to just lie in the yard.

The biggest question here was “Why does Hubby not want a Beagle?”

That would be because shortly after Hubby and I started going out we got a Beagle mix, her name was Roxanne.  Hubby always says she was a dumb dog.  But I say we were the dumb ones.  We did absolutely nothing with her, no training, no socialization, nothing.

Honestly I don’t know what we were thinking getting a puppy with three kids under the age of 8.

The last photo of my sweet little Beagle, Roxanne.

Anyway, remember when I said I’d tell you what Hubby always said to the kids about want?  Here it is, “Want in one hand and shit in the other and see which one gets full faster.”

That’s my attitude, if I want a Beagle, I’ll get a Beagle, quite frankly I’m quite enamored with Beagles and while I know I’ll never have a do-over for Roxanne, I would love to give a sweet Beagle a loving home.

Here were some of my favorite comments:

Elyse and Riley asked, “I suck at captions, but is that slobber hanging from Delilah’s mouth?”  Yes, yes indeed it is.

Jackie Bouchard said, “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today. Or a hotdog. Or a cookie. Or some packing peanuts. I’m not fussy….”

H and Flo said, “I said I wanted the cats-eye contacts.”

JoAnn’s made me laugh out loud, “sorry mom…i didn’t mean to poo on the carpet.”

Long Life Cats and Dogs said, “Sorry I haven’t been around for a while but great to come back to this gorgeous pic. PS – what’s hanging between the collar and the mouth?”  Um Miss Susan, that would be drool.  She’s practicing for the dog version of Big Daddy.  I hear they intend to call it Big Doggy.

Thank you all very much, your comments always amuse me.  Many of you were right on with the BlogPaws theme.  Here’s my caption.

You did say they have food at BlogPaws, didn’t you? So explain to me again exactly why I can’t go?
