Super Sweet Blogging Award

Last week our friends at All Things Collie presented us with the Super Sweet Blogging award.  Sampson and Delilah did a post about this very award last December, so I thought I’d say thank you very much to All Things Collie and let you read their answers here.

Weather

With the warmer weather comes the added chance of thunderstorms.  We’ve had our fair share of them of late and they always seem to be right around the time we’re taking our walk.

 

I love walking and truth be told I actually enjoy walking in a light to moderate rain. While it can be slightly uncomfortable walking in wet clothes, rain does help keep the bugs away.  But when the thunder rolls in like waves upon the shore, I draw the line.

 

I usually let the dogs choose our path and simply follow them wherever they go.  I have been encouraging them to use one particular path on our way out of the park.  When we hit this path I say, “Let’s go home.”

When we reach the intersection we can turn right and head back towards the field or turn left and head towards our car.  I usually try and plan our walks so we hit this path right around the 25 minute mark and it takes us about five minutes to walk it, so in my mind it’s a win-win.

Last night Delilah wanted to hit our ‘home’ path early so I thought, no biggie, we’ll turn right into the field instead of left.  Silly me.  I’m not sure it was the heat, or the fact that we’ve cut our walks short a couple of times but we hit the end of that trail and the dogs turned towards the car.

Rut row.

Don’t think I slacked off because we just finished K-9 Kamp, we didn’t get the “Walking Warriors” award because we’re wimps.  No siree Bob.  I urged them the other way and we finished our half hour walk.

Bones

My dogs love their bones.  I currently have the Jones Natural Chews center bones and I fill them every day and freeze them, they are the nightly treat in our house.

These bones are well loved.  Don’t believe me?  Have a look.

Care to hazard a guess as to who loved this bone to pieces?

If you guessed Delilah, you’d be wrong.  Oh Delilah loves these bones, there’s no doubt about it, but she is not the extreme chewer with them like Sampson is.

The bone on the left is Delilah’s.

For whatever reason, Sampson chews these bones a lot harder than Delilah.  Of course, I threw this one out which means I need to replace it. 🙂
