Stop and Smell the…Plants?

By

With Delilah’s tummy issues, I’ve found it necessary to monitor her food intake quite closely. To that extent, she can no longer be out in the yard by herself, because Lord knows what that dog will eat.

Case in point.

.

It looks like she’s sniffing a plant.

Ha ha ha, NO. No, she was EATING that plant!

Some mornings, I’m super pressed for time before work, so I’ll just let her out the back, and keep my eye on her. Which is how I happened to catch this photo. I was intrigued because of the way she stood on the steps, and balanced her front paws on the wall, so she could reach out and snag some tasty bite of weed. Because as best I can’t tell, that’s what she’s eating.

The next day, I let her out to see if I could catch her doing it again. I caught her just standing on the stairs, so I grabbed my cell phone and started snapping.

She heard it, but she couldn’t tell where it was coming from. She was staring at the door, but I was in the window to the right.

.

Don’t you love the intensity of that stare? Do you ever get candid photos of your pets?

(FTR, I did make some color adjustments when I was resizing the photo. )

 

 

When You Walk In The Room and Your Dog Is…

By

What?  When you walk in the room and your dog is what?

What could your dog possibly be doing that would surprise you when you walked into the room and caught him/her in the act?

You walk into the room and your dog KNOWS he’s not supposed to be on the couch, and yet, there he sits.

Or you turn your back on your dog in the yard, and when you turn back around, your dog has dug up your flower bed.

Or, you walk into the kitchen and see your dog with her head in the kitchen sink…

Hmmm….

At first I thought she was going to help me with the dishes. Then I realized, Delilah doesn’t do the dishes the same way I would!

What have you caught your dog doing that really surprised you?

Pet Blogger Showcase – August 19, 2017

By

I’ve fallen behind on blogging again. My goal to post three times per week didn’t happen this week. I think it’s been all those medical posts, they just exhaust me. Couple that with an increase in travel time with my new job, and some days, I just don’t have the energy.

Thankfully, the amazing bloggers below have been able to stay in the game.  Check out picks for this week’s showcase and let me know how I did.

8 Dog-Friendly Plants that Repel Bugs by Jan at Wag’N Woof Pets – Woof! If you have dogs (why do I say that? Why would you be reading this blog if you didn’t have dogs?) you know that bugs bring all manner of threat and illness to your dogs. When dealing with the nasty insects (fleas, ticks, mosquitos, black flies) you need every weapon in your arsenal to defeat these pesky buggers. Why not landscape your yard, and protect your pets all at the same time. If you’re looking to do just that, Jan’s post will get you started. The bonus, the plants are all safe for your dog.

A Pet Groomer’s Guide to Cleaning Dog Ears by Cathy at I Love My Chi – Long-eared or short-eared, it doesn’t matter. If you have a dog, it’s important to keep their ears clean.  Unless you have money to burn (are you looking to adopt a child? I’m older, but I promise I’ll be a good kid and take care of you in your senior years; ask my dogs, they’ll vouch for me.) Odds are you will need to clean your dog’s ears yourself. How and how often are the tricky questions, but Cathy, a pet groomer has the answers. Plus, there’s a video which shows you how to acclimate your dogs to ear cleaning, especially if they have concerns. There’s also a nifty little tip for a natural solution to assist in keeping those ears clean!

Big Dog Mom’s Most Glaring Weakness Revealed and it Will Surprise You by Big Dog Mom at Big Dog Mom – Here’s the surprise to me.  Her weakness isn’t for big dogs!  Alright, I take that back. Of course she has a weakness for big dogs, she HAS big dogs! I actually found her weakness a little on the funny side, because she does something very similar to something I do. (And it’s not the big dog thing again!) But that’s all I’m going to tell you, but after you read her post, you can guess in the comments. 🙂
