One of the big reasons I started this blog was for all the crazy, funny things my dogs do that bring a smile to my face or a laugh to my lips.
Sometimes it’s not easy to write a full blog post about it and sometimes I forget to share.
Some posts will be You Make Me Laugh and others will be You Make Me Smile, but they will all be the silly, sweet, funny things Sampson and Delilah do that help make crazy days just a little bit easier.
Feel free to share what your pet does to make you laugh/smile in the comments.
This is something I wish I could catch on video. She trots along in the field with her nose to the ground, then suddenly she seems to practically dive into the grass and begins to roll around, carefree and happy. Once she’s completed her mission, she jumps up and continues on her way.
Her enthusiasm to throw herself into whatever she’s doing is one of the many things I love about Delilah.
Your turn. Sound off in the comments.

Dakota does the same thing, it must be a “dog thang!” I think they particularly enjoy doing it when they are freshly groomed. 🙂
Texas, a cat in New York says
There are some good-smelling stuff on the ground, you can’t imagine, humans!
Purrs

Mo likes to rub himself along the molding on the bottom of the wall in the morning after arising and the in the evening before he climbs into bed. As he does this he snorts with pleasure. He does however, forget that there is the door opening to the bathroom which he falls into when he does this. I laugh EVERYTIME!
Genevieve says
I love to dive head first into goose poop and roll around on it. And if Mom isn’t looking, I eat some….
Love and licks,

Frankie and Ernie says
Looks Totally NORMAL to US. Just sayin.
Roxy the traveling dog says
LOL…Yep Torrey does that too.
Animalcouriers says
There are grades of poop to be rolled in! Boar poop isn’t intesting enough (too dry), fox poo is special but the very best is seal poop!
emma says
There are some things that you humans can’t figure out how to capture. I actually skip when I walk, like a little human girl, but Mom can’t figure out how to get it on video as I don’t do it all the time. It is not in her imagination as others have commented on my skipping. Hopefully one day you will capture Delilah’s move and Mom will get me skipping. Sometimes I roll in poo or some other treasure but for some reason Mom doesn’t want that on video.

Dead things and wild animal poop must have alluring odors to dogs. It must be the scent of the wild that attracts them.
Jackie Bouchard says
Rita dives in and rolls on worms when the grass is a bit damp. So funny. And, yet, kinda gross!
Molly The Wally says
Nothing like a good roll. Have a serene Sunday.
Best wishes Molly
joann stancer says
Was this a clean roll or a smelly roll? Mine will be trotting along then just pounce on something. Never quite know what they just pounced on. Have a great Sunday.
Dogs N Pawz says
Ash will roll over in the grass on her back and rub her back back and forth. Then she will roll over on her stomach and crawl and it isn’t for a short distance either. She crawls on her stomach down the hill in our backyard which is quite a ways. She never ceases to amaze me!
Kim - Life at Golden Pines says
It’s just times like that you wish you knew exactly what these pups were thinking before and after! Or maybe they aren’t thinking and that’s what makes it so fun for them! 🙂
I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that our new foster boy Sunny may a little smarter than the average bear, he’s done a few things that have surprised me…. We’ll see!
Sue says
Shadow makes me laugh when she jumps out of her skin, surprised by the sound coming from her behind as she “bottom burps” (farts). I know it’s not funny to her, but the look on her face just tickles my funny bone.
2 brown dawgs says
Wonder what good smell makes her roll? At the hunt test this past weekend, one of the Goldens found the bird, but before he brought it back he stopped to roll on it. lol
urban hounds says
Bob does that and its super cute, but sometimes he will NOT STOP! He might do it forty times on a short walk then its a little less cute. He is a stubborn boy. makes me laugh though

Rolling is great fun!
Sue at Talking Dogs says
We collect our grass clippings – some for mulch and some for compost – which results in some large piles. Rosie’s eyes are full of delight when she sees them. She runs to each pile in turn and flings herself onto and into them. A long delicious roll, then off to the next. It is so hilarious that I don’t mind raking up the piles 🙂
Jen@MyBrownNewfies says
I always laugh when Sherman dives into the grass and rolls around! Sometimes I think he’s going to get stuck on his back!
Dawn says
LOL! Even when they do something gross or naughty, they are still cute! The look on Maya’s face cracks me up when I catch her in the garden. And both Maya and Pierson are absolutely adorable when they play by themselves. If they notice I’m watching, though, they stop.
Blueberry's human says
Ha – Blueberry loves a good roll in something smelly too or maybe she just likes the way the grass scratches her on the back. But yeah, it always makes me smile. 🙂 And of course it always makes me laugh when she sees me reading or playing on my phone and has to intercept whatever has gotten my attention away from her by rolling on the book or phone so I have no choice but to pay attention to her!
Donna says
You go Delilah! Meadow enjoys finding earth worms to roll on. I’ve been trying to get THAT on video for ever. 🙂
Kolchak, Felix & Jodi says
You laugh? HA! I groan and curse under my breath. Bathing Kolchak is traumatic for everyone.
