Welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday, the post where I highlight reader’s comments, answer questions and generally just wrap up my week.

You Make Me Smile – November 30, 2014

Jan said, “Several years ago we took our dogs to the mountains where we keep all our snow. They got out of the car, sniffed, peed, and got back in for the rest of the time we were there. Not big fans of snow, but then I’m not either.”

Ah ha ha, you made me laugh with that one Jan.  I can picture it happening.

2 Brown Dawgs said, “And look at all the weight he is putting on that back leg!”

Isn’t it awesome?  Although I think I caught him mid-jump but it’s still awesome.

When You Have a Dog Like Delilah

Emma said, “I counter surf, Bailie does too, but that darn cat bro is the absolute worst.”

Oh Bert.  When Bob Stone lived here he liked to get up on the counter too,  and he knew he wasn’t supposed to be there so as soon as you walked toward the room, you’d hear him jump down.  Delilah just doesn’t care if you see her or not.

Lauranne said, “I don’t know if by now I wouldn’t be tempted to let her at it first and just ‘make do’ with whatever’s left! “Hello guests, welcome to my house. For tea tonight we have half a chicken which Delilah has previously licked and some potatoes she turned her nose up. I’m afraid she ate all the beans and carrots.””

BWA HA HA you made me laugh!  I’m afraid there would be nothing to serve the guests if I took that approach.

Jen said, “I swear…..Leroy and Delilah were made from the same mold. What the hell is their deal?”

I wish I freakin’ knew!

Jan said, “btw, Is she wearing high heels?”

LOL no, no she is just standing up.

Jan K said, “Luke licked a hot frying pan when he was a puppy….I’m not sure that it phased him at all!”

OMG he sounds so much like Delilah!!  She’s taken food that was cooking right out of the pan.  Labs!

One Man’s Trash

Genvieve said, “Shelter pets are THE BEST! They come with some baggage, but everything else they bring to the party (and make no mistake, it IS a party) makes up for it a million times over.”

Can I tell you how much I love this saying?  You are right, it is a party!! And I hope you don’t mind, I shared it on my Facebook page.  Giving you credit of course. 🙂

Emma said, Bert is the shelter pet, and we are pretty sure we know why his furry behind landed at the shelter.”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought this very thing about Delilah.  But she really is a loving girl and she has come a LONG way.

Blueberry’s Human said, “I am still amazed that someone gave Blueberry up! I mean – she’s not only unusual looking (in a good way) but she’s also sweet as pie with a hint of mischievousness that makes her fun in unexpected ways. ”

Can you imagine how boring our lives would be without the Blueberries, Delilah’s, Luke’s, Bert’s, Cupcakes, Sophies and Swyatt’s in them?

Patty said, “Both of my labs are rescues and neither is normal lol”

I’m beginning to wonder if it’s a lab thing. 😉

PawNosh Bowls – Advent Calendar Day 3

Blueberry’s Human said, “Hi, I’m Blueberry’s human, and I drop things. ”

Now that made me laugh.

2 Brown Dawgs said, “I am not comfortable feeding the dogs from glass bowls. I worry they may crack them. I guess my dogs are nuts…lol…but they do push their bowls around.”

I don’t have one of these bowls, but I’ve heard they are very sturdy.  I would have to watch Delilah because she pushes hers around too.

The Dreaded Christmas Card – Barks and Bytes

Emma asked, “Love those lamp posts! Do they move? Try putting one or both in the snow and taking the photo there maybe?”

They do move!! BUT we have no snow.  It’s all gone.

Pamela asked, “I wonder how much it would cost to hire Ms. Taleteller from Tales and Tails to come out to shoot custom Christmas pictures?”

OMG THAT would be amazing!!  Could you imagine the shots she could get?

Monika said, “If you’re a member, you can download that photo on Costco’s website and pick up your cards in a day (or you can take it in and do it at their photo kiosk). I do it every year and you just can’t beat the price or selection. Happy howlidays to you”

Thank you for sharing that and Happy Howlidays to you and Sam as well.

Frankie and Ernie said, “OMD we Love the Lamps…. and every Single ONE of the pictures EXCEPT fur the LAST one where that EVIL snow FREAK is sneaking up behind our FURENDS… THAT is just WRONG.”

OMD I’m sorry!!  I totally forgot your Mom’s obsession.  Don’t look at it!

Gilligan says, “I’d say you’re being a little hard on yourself for those photos. They are still pretty freaking charming, and the dogs look sweet. A lot of these photo programs have ways for you to correct for red eye, and even an “ehnance” button that makes everything look nicer right away. I think you can achieve this with the editing tools on instagram if you’re taking photos with the phone. If you’ve got a traditional camera then iPhoto has all of this if you have access to a Mac.”

Here’s the sad thing Gilligan.  I do have a Mac, I just haven’t figured out everything it can do. 🙁
