Heart Like a Dog

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

Where'd It Go?

By

This morning I decided to sit down and finish my taxes.

Delilah was bored, I could tell because she had her squeaky football in her mouth and wanted to play fetch.

Hubby threw the ball a couple of times, then she brought it to me in the den.  I threw it down the hall a couple of times and then she decided she wanted to go out on the balcony.

After a minute or so I checked on her and found her staring down the driveway.

Just staring.

I looked out to see what had her attention and saw her ball, rolling down the driveway.

If you look very closely, you can see a little red dot where the driveway meets the road.

Yup, that's it.

I couldn’t help myself, I had to laugh.  She was so stinkin cute,  just standing there staring.

I ran down the driveway in my pajamas.  I do just about anything to get out of preparing my taxes. 🙂

Follow-Up Friday

By

For those new to the blog, my follow-up Friday provides me with an opportunity to update or revise a post from the previous week.

You know sometimes you post about something and you need an update but it doesn’t warrant a whole blog.  Or sometimes someone made a comment that really resonated with you.  Yup, Follow-Up Friday baby! :-)

Expect The Unexpected – Update

When I caught up with my walking friend on Sunday, she told me that Brenda (who walks people’s dogs during the day for a living) had come back and couldn’t understand why the dogs had run off.

Duh, they were walking with us!

I also found out the dogs are kept in crates when they are in the house.   If that were me and I had the opportunity for freedom I’d take it when I could get it.

I’m a firm believer some people should NOT have dogs….or kids but that’s another topic. 🙂

In this post I mentioned how Sampson and Delilah always have a collar on, even in the house.  Their house collars are different from their walking collars.   Inside the house they wear a collar similar to this.

It has one small tag (with a silencer) that has their name, my name and my cell phone number on it.  It fits them very loosely, more like a necklace rather than a collar.

I’m fairly comfortable with them wearing the loose collars because I know they are not actively playing with each other during the day,  My mom who is in an in-law unit downstairs assures me that most days they don’t even make it off the couch. 🙂  If they played and rough-housed during the day I might re-think it.

Have You Seen My Camera – Update

As you can tell from last night’s video, I did find my camera.

I walked around with poutface all Wednesday night.  I wrote the post about losing the camera.  You left me suggestions of where to look.  Believe it or not, I had looked in every one of those suggested places with the exception of the garage.

When I got home last night Hubby and I were talking about it.  Hubby said, “I was going to buy you something for your birthday anyway, I’ll buy you a new camera.”

Most people would be really grateful for this offer, I on the other hand said, “I don’t want a new camera. I have a perfectly good camera that works for me, I just have to find it.  And what happens if we buy a new camera and I find mine?”

Then I told him of the garage suggestion, so he said, “I’ll go look there.”

When I’m working on my laptop I’m either in our room on the bed, or on the couch.  We had looked in both of these places already, but I decided to check the couch one more time, to make sure it hadn’t gotten wedged in the cushions.

I flipped the couch over and started searching it from the bottom up, I was up to my elbows in couch when I happened to look over and see my camera sitting on the floor!!  The camera must have been dislodged when we flipped the couch back the day before.

Summoning Charms – Author’s Note

I’m still waiting for the video to go viral. 🙂

Happy Friday everyone!!

Summoning Charms

By

I’ve said this before, if you hang around someone’s blog long enough you learn things about them. 🙂

I’m a big fantasy fiction buff and one of my favorite reads is Harry Potter.

For years my graduation robe has been worn to every single Harry Potter movie, the night it was released.  Before the first half of the Deathly Hallows was released I spent hours making my Phi Theta Kappa honors sash that I wore at graduation into a Gryffindor’s scarf.

Two Christmas’ ago I actually got a wand, but it must have been defective because it won’t do magic. 🙁

Quite frankly I’m really disappointed that I turned out to be a Muggle or am I a Squib?

I’m not really too sure.

There is someone in our household however who has gotten the “Summoning” charm down to a science.

Oh and it works.  He has summoned women from clear across the pet store to rush to his side to pet him.  Once he has summoned them, that’s when he really turns on the charm.

Yes, he smiles at him.

(Yes, I found my camera!)
