Heart Like a Dog

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

Stop and Smell the…Plants?

By

With Delilah’s tummy issues, I’ve found it necessary to monitor her food intake quite closely. To that extent, she can no longer be out in the yard by herself, because Lord knows what that dog will eat.

Case in point.

.

It looks like she’s sniffing a plant.

Ha ha ha, NO. No, she was EATING that plant!

Some mornings, I’m super pressed for time before work, so I’ll just let her out the back, and keep my eye on her. Which is how I happened to catch this photo. I was intrigued because of the way she stood on the steps, and balanced her front paws on the wall, so she could reach out and snag some tasty bite of weed. Because as best I can’t tell, that’s what she’s eating.

The next day, I let her out to see if I could catch her doing it again. I caught her just standing on the stairs, so I grabbed my cell phone and started snapping.

She heard it, but she couldn’t tell where it was coming from. She was staring at the door, but I was in the window to the right.

Don’t you love the intensity of that stare? Do you ever get candid photos of your pets?

(FTR, I did make some color adjustments when I was resizing the photo. )

 

 

When You Walk In The Room and Your Dog Is…

By

What?  When you walk in the room and your dog is what?

What could your dog possibly be doing that would surprise you when you walked into the room and caught him/her in the act?

You walk into the room and your dog KNOWS he’s not supposed to be on the couch, and yet, there he sits.

Or you turn your back on your dog in the yard, and when you turn back around, your dog has dug up your flower bed.

Or, you walk into the kitchen and see your dog with her head in the kitchen sink…

Hmmm….

At first I thought she was going to help me with the dishes. Then I realized, Delilah doesn’t do the dishes the same way I would!

What have you caught your dog doing that really surprised you?

Raaaawhide!!

By

My dogs haven’t had a rawhide treat in years. I guess there are some things you just never forget though.

A couple three houses down from me got a Labrador Retriever puppy sometime in April. It’s been amazing watching her grow. When I went to Myrtle Beach in May, she was a puppy and when I came home a few days later, she had grown tremendously.

There are still a lot of people who give their dogs rawhide, and apparently Ginger is a dog that still gets one, because for the past week or so, there’s been a large rawhide chew right on the edge of their grass.

A couple of days ago, the rawhide managed to make its way into the street.

My dogs always seem to do the funniest things when I don’t have my camera handy, which is why I didn’t get the photo of Sampson trying to carry the rawhide home.

I did manage to snap a couple of photos of the dogs checking the rawhide out. For the record, they’ve both licked it and picked it up.

But they happily leave it for a treat.

Boy, I haven’t seen one of these in years!

.

I will leave it, but YOU WILL give me one of those tasty treats in your pocket!

Coincidentally, both dogs have been taking the same route for the past few days, despite the fact they usually go a different want.

Who says dogs don’t remember?
