Let’s get to it, shall we?
Out Foxed Again
Yesterday morning I went outside to empty the dehumidifier. Sampson loves this part of the morning. He goes outside with me and sniffs around checking to see what types of visitors we’ve had during the night. He is very thorough in his investigations, giving special attention to areas of the lawn where he’s certain something has trodden.
It was a quiet, cool morning and we stood in the driveway just enjoying the break from the heat and humidity.(Sometimes he just stands in the driveway surveying the neighborhood, like a King surveying his Kingdom. )
I was facing the street and Sampson was facing the lawn when I saw him cock his head. I knew he’d seen something so as I turned my head to look I said, “Leave it.”
Thank Dog he’s got a solid leave it. That dang fox ran down our front lawn and across the street disappearing somewhere in the neighbor’s yard.
Can you imagine if it had been Delilah? I’d still be running.
And where was my camera? In the freaking house!! Out foxed again. One of these days little fox, I will get a decent picture of you.
When we want back inside the house, Sampson immediately went to the door leading to the upstairs. When I didn’t move towards it, he came back and Roo’ed at me to open the door. Such a smart boy!
Reading and Commenting on Blog Posts
I’m so far behind in reading and commenting. I’m trying to catch up, I really am. I guess taking almost two weeks off has a tendency to put one behind.
As of right now I have over 700 posts in my feeder. I’ve caught up on a few blogs, just know if you see a random comment here and there, it’s because I’m trying to catch up and I just can’t comment on every single post. 🙁
If there’s something important I need to know, please share it with me in the comments or drop me a private message via facebook or e-mail.
The Dogs of Blogville Calendar Contest
Don’t forget to get your pictures in for this Calendar Contest. In years to come you’ll be able to say, “My dog was March 2014.” Yes. You. Will.
So far we have five entries.
What Will Delilah do for a piece of fruit?
I will sit pretty for a piece of frozen pineapple. Yes I will.
For those of you who missed it, here is the promised video with my wild and highly food motivated lab.
Follow-Up Friday
Guess what? I coerced a newbie to co-host tomorrow’s hop. I hope you’re as excited as I am! I will be joined tomorrow by none other than Flea from Jones Natural Chews!
Darn fox! I skip when I walk and Mom has yet to get that on film. Frustrating when you want something so badly and can’ capture it! If you have so many back posts to read I think you should just sort through and pick out ones that pop out at you and forget the rest…start with the current ones again. Sounds cruel and heartless, but at some point it just gets to be too much backlog!
Out foxed again, one day you will get that sly fellow.
Hope you received my entry.
One day Mr. Fox…one day…
Excited about Flea being your co-host tomorrow! Love her!
For love of a dog, that darn fox is wily! One day, I just know you will catch a good photo of him. Woof-hoo that Flea is co-hosting!!! We love Flea.

They didn’t coin the phrase “sly as a fox” for no reason!
Just trying to decide which pic to send in! Have narrowed it down to 3!
Hooray for Flea being co-host!
Oh, my gosh. We had company in town for four days, and I feel like I’m irreparably behind! In the meantime, though, I’m putting catching up on hold to comb through my pics for a calendar entry! 🙂
Mr Fox is a sly one….no surprise there. Off now to sort out a pic for the calendar. Have a tremendous Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
My dogs get excited when they go out in the year to find overnight cat smell. I can imagine how thrilled they would be with fox smell.
Thanks so much for participating in TNT! I am glad you enjoy the hop. That darn fox, doesn’t it know we want to see a picture? lol Good job on leaving it Sampson! Foxes can be big meanie heads.
Boo to the fox; Yay to Flea! No problem with the comments. I completely understand. I get behind all the time and have no idea how all you bloggers manage to keep up! BTW, If I don’t reply to your comments on my blogs please don’t be offended. I do read all your comments. But not all comments warrant a reply.
Awesome tricks! GAH! Mom is getting ideas again!!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Those dang foxes! We always know there is a critter around when Torrey alerts like that. I am going to check out the calender contest.
Dang fox! Just sit still for a minute will ya please?! :-\
And, like Emma, I say just do the ones that pop out at you — most recent first — and don’t worry about the rest. I’m sure we all understand how easy it is to get behind on things, especially when you’ve been on vacation at the same time that your computer decides to crap out. I know I do at least!
Isn’t it ALWAYS the way that you don’t have your camera handy when you need it most? Glad you didn’t have to chase Delilah down though. Phew.
Great video. Loved how enthusiastic she is! Her behavior looks strangely familiar too.
All I have to do is THINK about getting my camera and the wildlife runs away. Or my own dogs/cats run away or stop doing whatever cute thing it is I keep trying to get on camera!
Good luck getting caught up. I can’t even imagine two weeks worth….I go away for a weekend and it feels hopeless!
