This ‘N That Thursday, January 16, 2014

Winter walks

With shorter days in winter a lot of our walks take place in the dark.  Last month many of the houses were decorated for Christmas.  In most instances the decorations were lit up and we passed the houses without incident.  

Until we didn’t. Rudolph Run, run Rudolph…

One night we passed a house with Rudolph in the yard, except this night Rudolph wasn’t lit up.  Which caused Miss Delilah to approach cautiously a low growl in her throat.  It took me a second to make out what she was growling at in the dark.

And then I giggled all the way home.

And speaking of Delilah.

There’s this one particular house we pass with two dogs.  These dogs are contained by an electric fence.  One of the dogs is very quiet and just watches us as we pass, BUT the other one likes to posture and run along the yard as we walk by.  This of course gets Delilah all kinds of riled up.  Her posture says, “You want this?  You want a piece of me?”

I usually shorten her leash and try to distract her when those dogs are NOT out, so she gets used to walking by without trying to drag me into their yard.

One lovely weekend day when we had mad amounts of snow, Delilah was determined to get into that yard.  She even tried scaling a snowbank to get there.

Delilah Peeing Oh to have the determination of a Lab.

When two blog hops collide

You’ve heard the saying, “When two worlds collide?”  Well what happens when two blog hops collide?  Come back tomorrow for all the dirty deets.

That’s it for me, join me tomorrow for Follow-Up Friday, when I highlight some comments, answer some questions and wrap up my week!

Many thanks to our hop hosts!

First I want to say Happy Birthday to my granddaughter who turns 3 today!  Woo Hoo Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!

Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop

Just a reminder there is no FUF blog hop tomorrow.  I will do a follow-up post over the weekend, but tomorrow I am participating in The Pet Blogger Challenge hosted by Go Pet Friendly and I Still Want More Puppies.

Are you participating?  I’m super excited to be participating.  The hop is slightly different this year, but I think it will still be fun.

Nosework Class

Delilah and I had our last nose work class on Tuesday night.  It had been four weeks since we’d been in class and it really showed with Delilah.  Ariane shot some video for us and as soon as I get it uploaded to youtube, I’ll write a post about it.  In the meantime, while other dogs are doing a search, Delilah and I will stand on the sidelines and practicing sits, or downs or even touch.

I played with the magic function on my camera and took this photo using “Dramatic,” I think it came out really cool.

And finally this photo is for you Jen.  You may remember a couple of months ago Jen had a contest on her blog called own that slobber (or something like that.)  Well I took this photo of Delilah on one of our hikes.

1-914-1

Can anyone explain to me HOW she got like this?  I haven’t a clue. 🙂

That’s it for me, catch you tomorrow for the Pet Blogger challenge.

Thanks to our hosts, 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie!

Advent Calendar for Dog Lover’s

Did you get an e-mail?  I know that the winners were all chosen yesterday and I was very pleased to see some of your names listed.  So if you won, congratulations and if you didn’t, I’m sorry.  But there is always next year!

Don’t turn your back

Yesterday after taking the dogs for a nice hour’s walk, Hubby and I came home and I set to making lunch.  I pulled a stick of butter out to make some grilled cheese sandwiches.  I turned my back for 10 seconds to add something to the sink and when I turned around, Delilah had the stick of butter in her mouth.

YO!  I was like two steps away from her, with my back turned.  That is how bold this dog is.

Butter Do you see her tooth mark?  There’s a matching one on the other side.  And in case you’re wondering, yes I did use the stick of butter.  Hey, times are tough baby.

Blog Hops 

I thought I’d take a minute to mention a couple of blog hops that are coming up this month.

Have you heard about the 4th Annual Pet Blogger Challenge coming on January 10th?  For those new to blogging it’s a once a year blog hop where fellow bloggers offer encouragement and support to others.  The list of questions is over at the Go Pet Friendly blog, along with a few more details.  Go check it out, I’ll be joining. 🙂

Blog the Change for Animals

Blog the Change

Blog the Change is coming up on the 15th of this month. If you’re unfamiliar with BTC here is a quick excerpt from their website, “Bloggers, write about a cause near and dear to your heart. Readers, share your comments and ideas in answer to these questions and more!”

There are also topic suggestions on their website if you aren’t sure what you want to write about.

Train the Dog Month Challenge

And January is train your dog month!  So our friends from Something Wagging This Way Comes, Rescued Insanity and Alfie’s Blog are setting up a blog hop for the end of the month.  Your training goals can be as simple or as complex as you’d like.

Last year, I trained my dog to heel using a chick pea. 🙂  It’s true, I have video to prove it.  And I just re-read that post and I think it’s pretty dam witty if I do say so myself.

That’s it for me, please join me tomorrow, when I highlight some comments, answer some questions and wrap up my week.

Many thanks to 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie.
