Today is This ‘N That Thursday, a blog hop hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie.  It’s an anything goes kind of day, which I totally love.

Feel free to grab the badge and link up your post.

Dogs and Chipmunks

Every morning I go outside to empty our dehumidifier.  And every morning Sampson goes outside with me.  He’s a very good boy, usually listens well and stays in his yard.

Monday morning a spot just outside the garage caught Sampson’s attention.  It is a spot that has a sand filled free-standing basketball hoop base and for some reason a board.

Don’t ask.  I’m not in charge of the outside, I have no idea why it’s there. Or what purpose it serves, other than to hit someone in the face if they step on it wrong.

But I digress.

Anyway, Sampson was sniffing around and then he shoved his nose deep between the base and the board.

There was a squeak, squeak and a chipmunk darted out and ran across the driveway to one of the drain pipes.  Sampson’s paws scrabbled across the pavement trying to get traction as he attempted to chase the chipmunk.

Sadly for Sampson, the chipmunk got away.  But it was a great way to start his week!

Do you think he’ll be back?

Dogs of Blogville Calendars

The calendars have been ordered and should be shipped to me tomorrow!  I’m expected to receive them either next Wednesday or Thursday.  I hope to be able to get them sorted and shipped out by November 4th.  I don’t have the exact figure of what we raised this year, (because I have to factor in the postage to mail them out to you.)

However, I think I can say with confidence that it will be over $1,000.00!!

Good job everyone!!

Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop

Tomorrow’s blog hop will be hosted by me.  I asked in last week’s post for volunteers and had none, so I’m flying solo this week.

If you’re interested in co-hosting next week, please let me know in the comments.
