I’ve been thinking that even though my tagline says, “Life With Sampson And Delilah,” lately most of my posts are about Delilah. Mostly because……well Delilah needs more work than Sampson does.
Which doesn’t mean that Sampson isn’t adorable in his own right. So today I thought I’d share a story about something Sampson does that I think is absolutely adorable.
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you’ll know that there is nothing that is off-limits in terms of subject matter.
That being said, today’s topic is about pooping.
Dog pooping.
When we are out on the trails and the dogs have to poop, Delilah squats wherever she is and poops.
Sampson however likes a bit of privacy. He will step off the trail, probably about 15 or 20 feet and do his business. Many times I think he’s wandered off and I call him and look only to find him popping a squat.
While I think it’s very sweet that Sampson is so modest, it’s what he does AFTER he poops that causes the most amusement.
After Sampson does his business he gets his run on, like he’s just taken about 5 pounds off. He zips past us, like he’s light as air, at which point Hubby or I will say, “I pooped, I pooped” in a Rudolph voice.
In Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, do you remember when all the little fawns first get together and Clarice takes a liking to Rudolph? Rudolph gets all excited and shouts, “She thinks I’m cute, she thinks I’m cute,” and he flies through the air.
Ok, so this post worked in my head, but I’m not sure how it worked as a post.
What do you think was it funny or not? And please be truthful. 🙂

I think it was very funny! And I loved the Rudolph reference. You cannot go wrong with a Rudolph The Rednosed Reindeer animated movie from when we were little kids reference!

I think it is very funny Jodie 🙂 Sampson should be commended for his modesty 🙂
Karen says
I laughed 🙂 I can relate because Pearl also does that after she poops and it always makes me laugh.

I sooooo agree that there is N O subject that is off limits in Blogville.. and that is JUST what makes it so EXCITING and FUN!!!
I Love ANY post that is about Pee Poop or Pharrrrrts. SO this one is a REAL HIT with ME.
If Ernie yelled “I POOPED” every time HE does it each day… we would be hearing it 4 and on a GOOOOOOOD day 5 Times!! That boy is a Poopin Machine!!! Often and Huge!
THANKS fur the good laff.

I’m always amazed at the different poop preferences of the different dogs i’ve had. Any post about dog poop is funny, unlike posts about people poop which are mostly gross.
Michelle says
I love poop stories!

LOL! I loved it. Around here, (with five four leggers), the conversation always somehow turns to the topic of “poop.”

Jodi – my wordpress thing is all messed up…anyway, I came up as anonymous, but it was me who just commented! LOL!

It was very funny Jodi, and very natural! Sampson likes his privacy and I think that is an endearing quality.
Pooping always gives us a laugh when it refers to our pets – in fact, nothing is a taboo subject when it comes to our pets!
sagechronicles says
I loved it! Sage is like Sampson and goes behind an interior fence to “do her business”. But when she HAS to do it public, there’s always the “poop dance”. Totally hilarious.
rumpydog says
I love it! I think I’ll try a poop dance too!
dogdaz says
It worked for me. The cats do it more then the dogs do around our zoo. When they have done their business you usually see someone jet out of a litter box and fly across the house. Interesting behavior for sure.

Haha – I think it’s funny – but I think any poop jokes are funny!! 🙂
Hope you’re having a fun weekend,
Your pal Snoopy 🙂
Jodi Stone says
