You Make Me Smile – May 17, 2015

May 17, 2015 By Jodi

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

Delilah, the way you insist on sniffing ANYTHING that seems out of place on our walks…

You make me smile.

This was Friday morning. It was an empty Burger King bag along with some napkins right in the middle of the road. She dragged me across the road so she could check it out. (FYI, I picked it up and threw it out.)

Do your pups investigate when they come across something unexpected, or do they continue with what they are doing?

One Fell Swoop – Barks and Bytes

May 7, 2015 By Jodi

Once upon a time this was my treat bag.

Dog walking essentials

The basic dog walking essentials…cell phone, house keys,  pepper blaster and treat bag. Only thing missing? Poop bags!

I never actually LOVED this treat bag. It had a draw string to close it and clipped to the waistband of my pants with a small plastic clip. I had it fall off on more than one occasion and had to trace our path back to find it. Still it served its purpose, until the Diva of Destruction got hold of it.

She chewed holes in the lining so all the little crumbs and (and sometimes bits of food as well) worked their way between the lining and the exterior. It made it super hard to clean that sucker out.

I put get a new treat bag on my to-do list. I shopped them online, but you can’t really tell the quality and function of a product online, and those rare occasions in the pet store, it simply slipped my mind.

Finally income tax season rolled around and as I had cause to be in a an awesome little pet shop/training center, I purchased a new one. I put the big pieces of treats in the new bag and threw the old bag on the dining room table. I passed it every day and one day in passing I thought, gee, I’m surprised she hasn’t discovered that bag yet.

But did I move it or throw it out?

No, of course not. This is how I set my dog up to fail.

Bad dog owner.

One day last week when I came home the treat bag was on the floor in the living room.

Notice the Delilah modifications.

She had made some modifications. Specifically I think her goal was to have treats drop out a regular intervals as we walked. Genius really if you think about it. I mean it’s every Labrador’s dream to have an unending supply of noms.

A closer look at modifications.

I think she went a little too far though, I mean the whole idea would be to have the treats come out regularly, not in one fell swoop.

You Make Me – May 3, 2015

May 3, 2015 By Jodi

You make me smile or laugh, the sweet, loving, funny things my dogs do on a daily basis that brings a smile to my face, or a laugh to my lips.

Delilah, the way you hold a toy in your mouth, while looking out the window for chipmunks…

You make me smile, and laugh and I think it’s just one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.

Your turn. Do your pups hold toys in their mouths? Sound off in the comments.
