Heart Like a Dog

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

Thwarted Again!

By

Sometimes…when you have dogs, you have the greatest of intentions to do something nice for them.

But sometimes, dogs have their own ideas of what they like.

Spring has finally arrived in the northeast, and while we’ve been having a lot of rain…(April showers and all), so we are treasuring those sunny days.

Last week, I ran out to do some errands, and Hubby thought Sampson might like to spend a little time outside in the sun. He grabbed a couple of throw rugs and laid them out on the deck.

You can see them in the photo, right there to the left of Sampson, who apparently felt the leaves would be a nicer place to snooze.

And Hubby and I, laughed and laughed.

Leave this for that? He’s out of his mind!

When has your dog thwarted one of your good intentions?

When All Else Fails…Bribe the Dog

By

zzzzzzzzzzzz

Does anyone else have trouble getting their dog off the couch to go out to pee?

He’s always ready for his morning and afternoon walks, (and he pees during those), but trying to get him off the couch to go before bedtime, well let’s just say….I usually have to bribe him.

How do you get your dogs out to pee?

You Make Me Smile – January 9, 2017

By

We are a day late on this post, due to our participation in the Go Pet Friendly, Pet Blogger Challenge.

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

Today, my little granddaughter turns six. (Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!)

Because this past weekend was her “Birthday Weekend,” we had a sleep over on Friday night. When the grandchildren are over, or one of them sleeps over, the dog’s schedule gets thrown off a wee bit. Oh, they still get their two walks per day, and of course they still get fed. What I mean by their schedules being off is, when the grandchildren are over, the dogs typically get less ‘quiet’ time for sleeping.

I know the dogs love the kids, because they get super excited when they get here, but typically, there is not a lot of interaction between the kids and dogs.

Sampson is such a special dog, and he’s super protective of the kids. So when the wee granddaughter went to lie down, it was no surprise that someone went with her.

What did surprise me was when the wee one got up in the night to potty, and wanted me to go with her, someone else got up and followed her too. Then he followed her back to bed, where he remained for the rest of the night.

That made me smile.

I would like to mention, that most nights, Sampson doesn’t sleep in the bed. And he has NEVER followed me to the bathroom.

Just sayin’.
