Follow-Up Friday – April 19, 2013

April 19, 2013 By Jodi

Welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday.  I’m flying solo today as I waited too long to ask people.  It’s  super easy and I’m always looking for a co-host, just let me know if you’re willing to co-host the Follow-Up Friday blog hop.   The hop that let’s you wrap up your week and leads you right into the weekend.

Black and White Sunday

Black and White Sunday 4-14-13

100_0944 Here’s the original photo.  It was taken in Emerald Isle, North Carolina.  One of these days I’m going to do a post all about this trip as you can see I have some beautiful photos.

Miss Harper Lee asked, “How do I get there?”  We drive Miss Harper, but there are local airports as well.

Dead Dog Walking – Update

This post was incredibly hard to write, as I feel so helpless.  The photos really tug at my heart.  So far I’ve been told by three of my contacts that they don’t have any contacts in the area. I’ve got a couple more to try but right now it’s not looking very good.

Please if you know anyone that does rescue, pass the information along, working together we really can make a difference.

ACD6Pack said, “I often look at my rescued pack of seven and wonder how could nobody want them?”  I wonder that myself my friend.

Our Appointment with the Holistic Vet – Update

The prescribed herbs came in the mail on Tuesday, two bottles that need to be kept refrigerated, something I’ve found very common with the Chinese herbs I’ve used.

I dug frantically through the box looking for the invoice and couldn’t find one, so I looked at the invoice from his visit.  Everything was already included on that!

Rosemary mentioned, “I’m thinking it might be a little pricey though.”

Are you ready for the sticker shock?

The vet charges a traveling fee of $75, HOWEVER my friend Jo-Anne was having her dogs looked at the same day directly before me, theoretically Jo-Anne and I could split the travel fee in half.  I say theoretically because thus far Jo-Anne had refused to do so.  Yes, I’m aware I owe her BIG.

Without the travel fee my bill was $111.00, which included $30 for the herbs and $6 for shipping making his home visit including the acupuncture $75.00.

Now even if I had paid the traveling fee the entire bill would still have been less than $200.00.  I don’t know about you, but it’s a rare occasion when I get out of my vet’s office for less than $200.00.

Genevieve asked, ” Does he do massage therapy?” Not to my knowledge, he does laser therapy and he can do chiropractic adjustments, but I don’t know about the massage part.

Most of you felt similar to the way I feel, that treating with a mix of traditional and holistic is the way to go.

Wordless Wednesday – Update

Some of my favorite caption suggestions were:

Caren Gittleman “I don’t know about you, but this Squirrel TV that we hear about is highly over rated!”

Roxy the Traveling Dog “Did you see it? No, did you? Maybe, I think it was that same squirrel. Crap, and we’re trapped inside.”

Jessica@YouDidWhatWithYourWeiner “No…but that looks like my old couch :)”

Misty Shores “Sampson did you see that, I think that squirrel just flipped us off!”

So without further ado, here is the original photo with my caption.

This ‘N That Thursday – Author’s Note

Here’s the difference in my two dogs.  Sampson wants to be where we are, as long as we are together and calm, he’s the same way.  He’s traveled with us since he was a puppy.  He would stay in a hotel room by himself (not that I would EVER do that!) he would lie under or beside me or Hubby wherever we were.

Delilah won’t.  She would bark in the room every time someone walked by the hall.  She would be trying her best to get at any piece of food she thought she could reach and she certainly wouldn’t lie under the table while we were eating.  She has traveled with us, but we’ve always stayed in houses.

Right now it’s looking like both dogs will be staying home.

I’m sad because I really wanted Sampson there, but I have to do what is best for both my guys and in this case it means keeping them together.

That’s another Follow-Up Friday wrap!

Heart Like a Dog Blog

You may (or may not) have noticed that there was no post on Saturday.  That was the first time since I started this blog 865 days ago that I made a conscious decision not to post.

Scandalous, I know.

I’ve been putting so much pressure on myself to post every day, that I thought I should give myself a break.  Going forward I give myself permission to skip one or two days per week.

I hope that by doing so, I can still put out a quality blog and not burn myself out.

BlogPaws

I’m just about ready to put the finishing touches on my presentation, and don’t worry I fully intend on making it available to all of you (though I don’t think you need it) after BlogPaws.

My original intent with BlogPaw was to bring Sampson and leave Delilah home.  Hubby had agreed to drive down early Saturday morning with my Sam Man as he can’t get time off to go for the whole conference.

The plan was to have my niece stay here with Delilah and have a dog walker come in on Saturday to walk Delilah.  About a week or so ago Hubby told me he’s worried that Delilah will freak out when he and Sampson leave in the middle of the night.  His solution was to bring them both and he would be their handler.

My gut is telling me that Delilah would be too much of a tax in that situation, I know for sure she’ll be barking at every sound she hears from the hotel room.

With the conference only a month away, I’m currently leaning towards leaving them both at home.

Spring is here!

Last Monday there were still patches of snow in my yard, but I’m happy to report that Spring finally arrived!  Yesterday I snuck out of work at lunch and took the dogs for an afternoon walk.

While I didn’t capture the beauty of the bright blue sky, I think the picture shows that Spring is here!

Thanks to our friends at 2 Brown Dawgs.
