My post today is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Neither one was really enough to make a complete blog post about, so I kind of combined them.
This is about Sampson’s potty habits. Like a lot of people Sampson is particular about where he potties. When he was younger, he wouldn’t do his number two business just anywhere, in fact at daycare he would hold it all day and first thing he would do when he came home would be to run into the backyard and drop the kids off.
As he’s gotten older he has become a little less rigid about where he goes, but I do notice when we are out walking he will run ahead and if I by chance I happen to catch up to him, I notice him off in the woods popping a squat. He will then run off like he is 5 pounds lighter, bouncing and frolicking like a small puppy.
Imagine my surprise yesterday when I picked them up from daycare and while I was settling Delilah into the car, I noticed Sampson up by the fire hydrant taking a dump! I hurried over to where the pooper scooper is kept and when I looked up; he had moved from the fire hydrant across the driveway and was finishing his poop by the mailbox!
Enough of This.
That is about someone who won’t be named leaving the package of fire starter within munching level of a certain chocolate lab.
Delilah is like my little shadow. Normally wherever I am you can be sure she is close behind. Which is why when I got out of the bathroom this morning and she wasn’t laying on the bed, I knew she was up to something.
Sure enough I went out into the living room to find her chomping on the fire starter.
Rest assured the fire starter is not toxic to your dog; I know this because this isn’t our first dance with the fire starter. I will however be watching her to make sure she isn’t bound up from all that fiber.
Finally, just some quick pictures of what crossed my path on my way in to work this morning.
Lucky for them Thanksgiving was last month.
I don’t like to have peeps.. observe when I am pooping. BUTT I do want them to “Gather it Up” right away. I tend to put it in the Same Place.. Every time… as long as there isn’t already “some” there. THAT is why I like the gathering thingy… done speedy quick.
I am Totally SURE that my Ernie would tie into that fire starting stuffs too!! he LOVES to chew Sticks and stuffs like that. BUT are you SURE it wasn’t Squirrels that attacked Your Fire Starter???
Really Frankie? Why do you put it in the same spot? Is it like humans with a toilet, you just decide that is where to go?
You best keep little Ernie away from that fire starting stuff, a little guy like that could get really hurt!
When we first got Lila, she was embarassed to poop and held it for a very long time. Now she is a pooping machine!
I thought of Delilah today when Lila put her front legs on the counter and was sniffing the butter. I have not seen her do that before. I hope she doesn’t start eating stuff off the stove!
Lila still does not like carrots or green beans, but she does like the smell of butter:)
No Fire Starters here, but Lila did gnaw off a corner of my new book today. Just when I thought she was going to be a good girl. Oh well:(
Oh nice pictures of the turkeys!
That Delilah girl is such a character, but then it sounds like Sampson is too. You are lucky to have two great characters living with you!
I love wild turkeys–something about seeing them makes me so happy. Your post just perked me up!
And a discussion about dog poop? What could be better! Lamar likes to go someplace with tall grass; Fozzie likes to poop over the course of half a block…and then kick dirt over all of it! Fun stuff.
Turkey’s are yummy year-round! Good to know that firestarter is non toxic, and very glad for Delilah that it is. I hope it all passes okay….
Haha I have a picky dog about where she goes potty too!
Maybe Delilah was jusst trying to help get the fire started 😉
Nice pictures of the turkeys 🙂
Does Sampson know you are broadcasting his potty habits on the internet? 🙂
Shhhsh, that will be our little secret. 🙂
