Heart Like a Dog

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

Enjoying the Good Days

By

Since Sampson did his partial CCL tear, he rarely gets out for a stroll in the side yard. Before he did his first tear, the dogs used to go out the side door, and dash down the stairs so they could race up the fence line. But since his last tear, we started letting him out the other door, and guiding him to a flat area, where there are limited steps.

Last weekend Sunday was a nice day, and I was zipping around the house cleaning, and the D-Dog wanted to go out, so I left the door open while I popped in to start a load of laundry.

When I came out, Delilah was inside, but Sampson was nowhere to be found.

Drat! The door was still open, so I walked outside, to find Sampson taking a casual stroll around the side yard.

It made me smile to know he felt well enough to do the stairs.

Of course, going down the stairs isn’t the same as going up!

The “Awww” Moment

By

When my two oldest daughters were small, they had blankets that they carried with them everywhere. They wouldn’t go to sleep without them, so one of my chores was to remember where they’d been in the house during the day, and hunt “blankie” down. In fact, I have it on good authority they both have whatever is left of their blankie hidden away. 🙂

It seems I also have a dog that carries a toy with her instead of a blanket. Sometimes she meets me at the top of the stairs with the toy, and other times, she just carries it around.

The other day, she carried it over to her bed and laid down with it. It was so damn cute, I had to snap a photo.

Isn’t that just adorable? Did you have any “Awww” moments with your pets this week?

You Make Me Smile – February 26, 2017

By

You make me smile, (or laugh.) The sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do on a daily basis, that brings a smile to my face, or a laugh to my lips.

Delilah, the way you make yourself SO comfortable on MY bed…

You make me smile.

Notice the pillow she has her head resting on? It’s a travel size pillow, and it’s what I use for sleeping. That pillow sits on the edge of the bed. Notice how much room is left for me?

Notice Sampson’s butt touching hers? For the longest time, they wouldn’t get on the bed at the same time. If Delilah got there first, Sampson would stay off and vice versa, but lately, they’ve both been starting out on the bed.

The good bit is, that most nights, one of them gets off the bed at some point, which affords me a wee bit of room.

Who gets the bigger portion of the bed in your house? You or the dog?
