Heart Like a Dog

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

You Make Me Laugh – September 1, 2013

By

One of the big reasons I started this blog was for all the crazy, funny things my dogs do that bring a smile to my face or a laugh to my lips.

Sometimes it’s not easy to write a full blog post about it and sometimes I forget to share.

Some posts will be You Make Me Laugh and others will be You Make Me Smile, but they will all be the silly, sweet, funny things Sampson and Delilah do that help make crazy days just a little bit easier.

Feel free to share what your pet does to make you laugh/smile in the comments.

Delilah, when you lift your leg

Lift

To pee on a tree

Pee

You make me laugh.

Oh yes, she really lifts her leg and pees on trees.  At least once per walk. And I’ve been trying like crazy to catch it on camera and finally, finally I caught it.

Have you ever heard/seen a female dog lift their leg to pee?  Do you have a gender barrier breaker in your house?

Sound off in the comments.

You Make Me Smile – August 24, 2013

This is my post that typically runs on Sunday. The Dogs of Blogville was supposed to run today but we had a little bit of a problem with a couple of photos submitted so I’m going to need another day. 🙁 No worries, you will still have one full week for voting.

Delilah, when you stretch out across Daddy's pillow and lay your sweet head on my leg, you make me smile.

It also melts my heart and makes me sigh with contentment.

What are some of the cute things your ‘babies’ do when they snuggle in for a snooze?

 

 

This ‘N That Thursday – August 22, 2013

This ‘N That Thursday is the brainchild of Linda from 2 Brown Dawgs; because some days you have a little of this or a lot of that.

Many thanks to our friends at 2 Brown Dawgs Blog.

Lick Granuloma Redux

Sampson had to go back to the Vet’s on Tuesday, he’s been licking at his paw again. 🙁

I wrapped it in a desperate attempt to keep him from licking.

This time we saw our regular Vet who scraped the spot and checked it under the microscope.

The diagnosis is a lick Granuloma which is now infected because he’s licked it so much.  The treatment is a three week course of antibiotics (Clindamycin), a three week course of twice a week cold laser treatment and a nerve blocker (Gabapentin).

This cold laser isn't so bad, this guy keeps feeding me noms.

I couldn’t understand WHY he’s licking it and Dr. Soutter explained it could have been anything that initially drew him to the spot, and once he’s irritated the nerve, it will keep bothering him and he will keep licking. The hope is the antibiotic and cold laser will help the granuloma heal, while the nerve blocker will settle the nerves down.  The goal is to take him off the nerve blocker and the licking will stop.

Paws crossed.

Blogville Calendar

Julie is hard at work resizing the photos for easier display on the blog.  Fingers crossed voting will still begin on Saturday.  If for some reason I can’t manage it, then we will still have a week to vote.

My mom who recently began reading the blog keeps asking me if I’ll show her how to vote. 😀  I’m pretty sure the voting process will be fairly easy, as long as I use the same system I used last year.  But yes Mom, I’ll make sure you know how to vote.

Farting and Douching on Facebook

You know Facebook is a great time suck for me.  Last night feeling highly unmotivated I found myself in an innocent little chat with a couple of other bloggers.  One thing led to another and before you know it, we were talking about farting and shortly after that douching.  This morning the conversation has turned to Unicorns.

You never know what you’ll find on Facebook.  It really helped lighten my mood and I gave me something to add to today’s post.  So thank you ladies, one and all.

Follow-Up Friday

Please join us tomorrow for the Follow-Up Friday blog hop where my co-hostess will be JoAnn Stancer from Sand Spring Chesapeakes.
