Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

The “Awww” Moment

By

When my two oldest daughters were small, they had blankets that they carried with them everywhere. They wouldn’t go to sleep without them, so one of my chores was to remember where they’d been in the house during the day, and hunt “blankie” down. In fact, I have it on good authority they both have whatever is left of their blankie hidden away. 🙂

It seems I also have a dog that carries a toy with her instead of a blanket. Sometimes she meets me at the top of the stairs with the toy, and other times, she just carries it around.

The other day, she carried it over to her bed and laid down with it. It was so damn cute, I had to snap a photo.

Isn’t that just adorable? Did you have any “Awww” moments with your pets this week?

You Make Me Smile – January 15, 2017

By

You make me smile, (or laugh.) The sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do, that bring a smile to my face, or a laugh to my lips.

Delilah, when you look to me for guidance on our walks, and someone in the neighborhood observes you, and says what a good dog you are…

Good Delilah

You make me smile.

It happened yesterday. A few months back, I discovered that a neighbor down the street, is a man I worked with over 10 years ago.

We passed his house yesterday morning, and he was on his way out to pick up his paper.  We exchanged good mornings, and when we did so, Delilah made to cross the street to say hello. I’m careful about letting the dogs approach folks, unless someone specifically asks. So, I redirected her, and my ex-co-worker asked how old she is. I told him she just turned 11, and then he commented on what a good dog she was, and how beautiful her coat was.

Considering some of the stories, (some right here on this blog) about Delilah. I couldn’t help but look down at her and grin.

I may have given her a cookie…or two….or three. And then I floated home.

 

You Make Me Laugh – December 18, 2016

You make me laugh, (or smile.) The sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do, that make me laugh or smile on a daily basis.

Delilah, the way you come in after a walk, and wait like a princess to have your feet wiped…

You make me laugh.

 

Delilah typically waits to be toweled off, after she comes inside from walking in the rain or snow. The other day, we had wet roads, and when we came inside, she sat right in front of me, waiting to have her feet wiped.

Silly dog!

Do your dogs like having their feet wiped after coming isode from a wet road?
