Heart Like a Dog

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

#Selfies With Delilah

By

When I was at BlogPaws in Myrtle Beach back in May, the big thing was taking selfies with Leroy from My Brown Newfies. (#SelfieswithLeroy on the Instagram). Taking selfies with Leroy is pretty simple, 1) apparently Leroy doesn’t mind having his picture taken and 2) Leroy doesn’t move around a lot.

Unlike a certain brown dog at my house, who apparently didn’t get the memo regarding Labradors and their love of having their photos taken.

I like my hair in this photo….and I’d like it better if Delilah would look at the camera!

The hair is okay in the this one, but Delilah still will not look at the camera.

I don’t like my hair and the damn dog still will not look at the camera!

At this point, I gave up. Of course, I laughed and laughed, because she just won’t let me get a good photo!

 

Pull Up A Spot of Grass

By

Yesterday, Pet Faves had a post on Facebook that asked, if your pet had a job, what would it be?  I responded with Delilah would be a taste tester, and Sampson would be a greeter at Wal-mart.

Sampson just loves people, and he makes friends everywhere we go. A couple of weeks ago, we ran into one of our ‘friends’ (Blanche) on our afternoon walk. I stopped for a quick chat, when one of Sampson’s other friends (Rich) came strolling by, so I introduced them.

After Rich left, Blanche said to me, “You know more people than I do in this neighborhood.”

And I responded with, “It’s because of him, he just loves people SO much.”

Honestly, he makes friends al over the neighborhood, and he remembers where they live.

One of his friends, who I’ve mentioned before is Mrs. Whinnem. We stop at her house every time we find her outside. She is one of Sampson’s favorites, and he will stop at least three times checking for her, if she’s not out.

That’s three times in one direction, and three times in the other.

Friday, it was a warm day, and on Sampson’s second pass, I’m not sure if he was hot, or he thought he’d simply pull up a spot of grass and wait for Mrs. Whinnem, but just after we passed her driveway, he plopped down in the grass.

And I laughed and laughed, because who knows what goes on in that handsome head of his?

Dogs In Jeeps

By

We’ve finally gotten a string of decent weather in my little corner of the world.

People are driving with their car windows open, and I’ve noticed so many dogs with their heads hanging out the window. It makes my heart happy to see dogs enjoying their rides.

Sampson and Delilah don’t get rides in the car as often as they used to, and apparently someone was missing it.

It isn’t often that Hubby is getting home at the same time I’m leaving with one of the dogs for their walk. But it happened this past Thursday.

Delilah was so happy to see the dog Daddy, that she jumped right into the jeep on his lap.

Naturally, I laughed. But then I snapped the picture.

I think she would have happily gone for a ride.
