Welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday, the blog hop that let’s you wrap up your week and leads you right into the weekend!  Today I am joined by my friend JoAnn from Sandspring Chesapeakes.  If you haven’t met JoAnn and her dogs Norman, Nellie, Gambler and Glory, well what are you waiting for?  JoAnn can get those dogs to pose for some crazy photos!

 

Thank you JoAnn for joining me today!

About Those Wooly Bears

Gizmo asked, “The “punk” effect is so cool…and your camera has a setting for that?”

Yes, my camera has a setting called “Magic” and within that setting are about 12 different options, one of them being “punk.”

Jessica asked, “Is Delilah good with other dogs?”

It depends on the dog and the situation.  Delilah does not like certain dogs while she is on leash.  I always have to worry whether she will snark or not.    Having been to Blog Paws last year and observed the people and other dogs, I prefer not to bring my dogs there.  I think I would be too nervous.

Such Intensity

Callie, Shadow and Ducky’s Mom said, “There are so many things my girls do that make me laugh or smile — I wish I had a camera handy EVERY second of the day to capture it all!”

OMD I so agree with this!  The last couple of days Delilah has sat in the kitchen and ripped a long, loud fart and I so wished I could have caught it on video.

Jan asked, “That’s a cell phone shot?”

Yes, that photo was taken with my iPhone.

Animal Couriers said, “Lovely shot – looks like Sampson is doing a ‘lazy’ sit as we call it.”

Sampson has always sat like that.  He has never been a ‘strait’ sitter.

Val asked, “Did you have a treat in your hand?”

I believe I was working on getting one of their meals ready and they both just sat.  It was a perfect photo opportunity.

Heeeeeeeeere’s Jackie

2 Brown Dawgs said, “I still have not had a block of time to start the book. I need a maid.”

You and me both, sister.

I Have a Crap-load of Pumpkin

Emma asked, “Do you have Aldi in your area? Mom bought some all natural pumpkin in a can (15oz) yesterday for 89 cents.”

We do Emma, I’ll have to check that out, thanks for the tip!

Jen K asked, “And yes, that’s definitely a crap-load! (Is that a metric measurement?)”

It’s an industry term. 😉

Carol Bondy asked, “There…did you use the unsweetened one???”

Yes, the shredded coconut was unsweetened.

Lily asked, “Does punkin make you guys poopy more?”

No, actually pumpkin is full of fiber, which helps make the poopy firm.  Because my guys get chicken necks in the morning, I like to give them a little pumpkin to help them feel full.  I’ve also heard that pumpkin can help with an upset tummy, but don’t quote me on that.

Jan asked, “Do you ever start with fresh pumpkins?”

Actually I did last year.  I have hopes to have a pressure cooker for next season so I can make my own pumpkin.

Julie asked, “Hmm, I wonder how applesauce and banana would work for sweetness?”  I bet that would help.  Jodi also suggested some cinnamon and a little maple syrup.

Oz the Terrier said, “Oh Miss Jodi, what’s stopping us?! The fact that my Ma does NOT bake ever.”

Oz, you’ve got to get your mom on board.  It is such a satisfying feeling knowing what are in your dog’s treats.

Donna said, “(personally I prefer reeses pieces)”

That’ll work too!

The Post Where the Mama Learns a New Trick

Callie, Shadow and Ducky’s mom asked, “What I want to know is WHO was recording the video while you and Sampson were torturing your Mama and “her creaky knees”?”

The Daddy was.  After the Mama gave him explicit instructions on how she wanted it recorded.

Emma said, “Has your mom tried walking you two in the creepy dark woods in the morning rather than the evening? We love walking in the dark in the morning, it is so peaceful and Mom says the chances of criminals being out in the early morning are slim to none, they prefer evening and night.”

It’s not the criminals that the Mama is worried about, it’s the coyotes and the fishers.

Jan asked, “That is a great trick, but shouldn’t you reward the mama with a treat when she does it the right way?”

She is being rewarded.  She actually believes she’s teaching us. BOL

Jessica asked, “Wait, you go up and down the stairs, too?”

I have too, it’s a great motivator for the Mama.

Sue said, “Love the video, but Delilah…. hobbit feet?! That’s no way to get more treats!”

Hey, I’m only repeating what the Mama says.

Happy Halloween!

Emma asked, “Can’t you get the postal supplies at an Office Max or other office store?”

I suppose I could.  I was planning on using priority mailers, but envelopes with priority stickers will probably work just as well.

Okay, so this Halloween photo:

Is the exact same photo as the one above it.  I just edited it differently.  Typically I edit my photos in PicMonkey, but when I was looking for the Halloween theme, I wasn’t finding what I wanted.  I googled and found another editor called Fotor.  It’s got a lot of fun things to play around with.

Pamela asked, “Will we be seeing the blooper reel any time soon?”

There was no blooper, it’s such a great photo I am going to use it for many different things. 😀

Jan said, “Was there a bribe involved?”

Nope, it was a candid shot.

Roxy said, “Hey, you have the same mask as me. Aren’t we stylish!!”

Pretty neat huh?  I guess your mom found out about Fotor too.

Gizmo said, “Jodi Halloween is fun and all but the best thing I read today is that Arista is safe.”

I 110% agree!

I am now way over my word limit, so I shall stop here.  Many thanks to JoAnn for agreeing to co-host.  If you are interested in co-hosting next week’s hop, let me know.
