You Make Me Laugh – October 9, 2016

October 9, 2016 By Jodi

You make me laugh, (or smile), the sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do on a daily basis, that brings a smile to my face, or a laugh to my lips.

Sampson, the way you get so excited when you see “someone”, and then get SO disappointed when you realize “who” you’ve seen…

Golden Lab and Scarecrow

You make me laugh.

This happened last week. The day before we’d seen the neighbor out decorating her house for Halloween. The next day, Sampson was walking up the hill and his body language told me he saw someone. When I looked ahead, I knew right away what it was. But he didn’t.

When he got to the house, he realized it wasn’t a person after all.

Have your dogs ever mistaken something for someone?

    Poor Sampson is thinking “darn, that person can’t come over here and pat me!”. We used to see some scarecrows last fall when I was walking Sheba, but she never reacted to them at all.

    We have that same problem with things like branches or leaves. We think it is a squirrel or wabbit sitting still but then we get closer and it is just a branch or leaf. Bummer!

    Sampson is curious with that “person” , why he sit and don’t move at all..
    then he tries to find out is he sleep or not :-(, but it wasn’t a man..

    Dogs probably wonder why we dress up dummies to look like humans. But humans do so many weird rhings…

    LOL, yup. I often think if a shadow had a name, my dogs might try to get a pet out of it! 🙂

    Bear gets scared by his shadow. He used to freak out when he saw himself in the mirror, but thankfully that passed.

    Ha! Can’t be too careful, S. Once my neighbors hung a plastic lifesized picture of Frankenstein on a pole. I panicked. Mom said, “It’s only Frankenstein.” That’s my point!!!!!

    Love and licks,

    Lately, I’ve been the one doing that! There’s a house a few doors down that has some weird zombie scarecrow like thing sitting in a lawnchair on their front step–just a few doors down from where a real man often sits in a very similar lawnchair on his front step–and every single day, I lift my hand to wave and then have to casually tuck my hair behind my ear when I remember that thing isn’t real.

    Mity used to mistake people for other people, sometimes his mistakes were not the most flattering!

    Aw, poor Sampson! I don’t recall my girls ever mistaking “something” for “someone”; but I’m sure I have when I’ve forgotten my glasses or contacts. Lol.
