Today is the day we chose to celebrate the great being we refer to as Delilah a.k.a. Sweet Pea, Baby Girl, Big Girl, Sweetie Pie and sometimes PITA.
Happy Birthday baby girl!!
Today is also the Follow-up Friday blog hop (fondly referred to as FUF by me) because sometimes you write something that requires a follow-up or someone will leave a comment that really resonates with you…Follow-Up Friday Baby!
Feel free to copy the badge and join the party.
I still need co-hosts for Follow-Up Fridays. I’d really like a co-host every week if possible. If you’re interested whether you’ve already done it or not please let me know. I think I’ve learned enough to help walk you through it if you’re unsure. 😉
How Do You Clean Your Dog’s Teeth? – Author’s Note
Am I ever glad I put this post up. I learned so much from you, that I really feel a lot better about Sampson going under anesthesia. I will check in with our vet in the spring and make a decision then.
Thank you so much for your informative comments.
The Fog Was Freaky – Author’s Note
I’m glad I’m not the only one that gets freaked out by the fog.
I’m not big on horror movies. Some people love to be scared, I do NOT. There aren’t very many horror movies I will watch, but many years ago I did watch “The Fog” with Adrienne Barbeau, and every time I’m in the fog I say, “The fog is rolling in tonight” that might not be the right line, but it’s what sticks out in my mind. Which is probably why the fog freaks me out.
Monday Mischief – Author’s Note
When I did speak with the vet on the phone she said actually the popcorn is worse for her than the chocolate. I should have asked why, but I didn’t. Do you know?
It’s funny because I could really set a plate of food down in the middle of the floor and tell Sampson to leave it and he would. I sometimes wonder what he thinks when he sees Delilah doing all her mischief.
In my mind, he rolls his eyes and says, “Oh Delilah.”
Dogs of Blogville Calendar – Update
We hit a little snafu with the design of the calendars. Apparently the calendar we chose has 28 pages. Julie designed 25, so we have to figure out how to rearrange the calendar and fill out those three extra pages.
We are working on it.
Originally I had chosen 5 to 6 business days for processing, which was the least expensive ($22) option. I can go in and adjust that to expedited shipping, which I think is about $58, but I’m not sure. It will depend on how quickly we can get it straightened out. If it’s a quick fix and expediting the calendars will get them here a couple of days before Christmas, I might just go for it!
By the way, you can no longer order the calendars. HOWEVER if there is a big demand after you all see how beautiful they are, I can always reorder. 🙂
Canvas Art – A Review and Giveaway – Update
I had completely forgotten about this giveaway until I saw Bringing Up Bella running one on her blog. I immediately went in to Rafflecopter. This is a great tool! Not only will it randomly choose the winner for you, it posts it on the blog post!
I just wanted to let you know the Canvas Art was won by our very good friend Misty Shores! Misty let me know that her canvas print shipped today, she’s super excited to see it and so am I.
Congratulations Misty!!
Oh and did I mention, this is the Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop…
Genevieve says
Popcorn?? I’d like to hear more about this. I occasionally toss a piece of popcorn to Cupcake. Yikes!
Molly The Wally says
Hope all is well Jodi. The payment went through for the calendar so you should have it.
Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly

Happy Birthday Delilah!!!! The collies sing “Happy Birthday to AWOOOOOOOOO!!!”
Doggy's Style says
Ever read The Mist by Stephen King?
They may a movie adaptation was good but not as good as the book, that was so evil fog.
I love horror movies.
Doggy doesn’t get to try human food, never done it, not even bread, I get so mad when the in laws try to give him bits of rice cookies or crackers, they see it on my face. He puked the other day after eating left over pop corn, puked all over my damn carpet, he didn’t puke because it made him sick but because of a bit of corn got stuck in his throat, it happens to all.
Jodi, we are having communication (email) issues so I’ll put it here, I wanted to “buy” a calendar but not have it sent to me, I want to pay for it, so you could give it away or simply donate the money directly, can I still do that?
Kristine says
Happy birthday to Delilah! I hope she has a lovely day. Do you have anything fun planned to celebrate?
I’d not heard that popcorn is bad for dogs. I mean, it’s just corn, right? Which is a common – if unhealthy – ingredient in most commercial dog food. Sure, popcorn isn’t great for them, but I don’t understand why it would be worse than chocolate. Shiva loves when we make popcorn at home and we often keep a few pieces unbuttered/unsalted just for her. If you learn anything, I’d be interested in finding out why she said that myself!
Married with Dawgs says
I’m pretty sure many people feed popcorn to their dogs with no issues. The only issues I can think of would be the butter & salt that are found in most microwaveable popcorns or if a dog has allergy/food intolerance issues related to grains.
Happy Birthday Delilah! I hope it is full of long walks and good noms.
All Things Collie says
You could always ask for pictures of the dogs that are being helped by the calendar sales. It would be a nice way to fill in two of the pages…
jet says
Hey Sampson,Hey Delilah, Jetty here. Hi Miss Jodi.
We MUST again thank you for all your hard work, dedication and logistical monitoring for the calendar. If someone wants the Calendar for Christmas, please sell them ours and use our $ for the next reorder… We wanted it for the turn of the year, we can have patience. 🙂
lauren says
Happy happy birthday, Miss D!
OK, so I totally missed the boat on the ordering thing. I’m so sorry! I may be in the market for a few copies of this calendar, so please do let me know if you open the flood gates again. <3
Frankie Furter and Ernie says

jan says
Happy birthday, sweet Delilah.
No popcorn? You are ruining movie night for us. I have “dropped” popcorn for years and have never had or heard of a problem.
Basil says
Happy Birthday Delilah!!
2 brown dawgs says
Happy Birthday Delilah!
So maybe the corn is the issue with popcorn. I have never heard it being an issue aside from a corn allergy.
I love the movie The Fog. One of my favs. To me is is more camp than scary. They did a remake of it, but I don’t think it is as good as the original.
Congrats to Misty Shores for winning the canvas print.
