A few months back, I found out about a Fairy/Gnome walk about two hours from my house. I told my seven-year-old granddaughter about it and we made plans to go.
The walk is a two-day event, and we had planned to go yesterday. Since it was a two hour drive, I wanted to get an early start, so my granddaughter slept over on Friday night.
Sampson turns into such a watch dog when either of the grandkids sleeps over. He insists on sleeping in the room with them, and since J was sleeping in my bed with me, he immediately climbed up on the bed, where he stayed all night long.
We’ve finally had a turn of spring like weather and it got quite warm in the bed, with three of us there. I woke up about 3:00 am, to Sampson panting, and even with all that, he spent the entire night on the bed, walking J up with a healthy tail wag, and some morning kisses.
Sometimes when both kids are here, it can get a little loud (and crazy), and it often times stresses Sampson out a little bit, but when just one child sleeps over, the way he protects them, just fills my heart.
And I can’t look at this picture, and not smile. He tucked himself right at her feet and stayed there all night long. When I told her that in the morning, and showed her the photo, she said, “He’s the bestest dog ever.”
You make me smile (or laugh,) the sweet, funny, loving things my dogs do, that brings a smile to my face, or a laugh to my lips.
What did your pet do that made you laugh or smile this week?
**The Fairy/Gnome Discovery walk is still happening today (April 29th), if you happen to be in the Salisbury, MA area, you can check it out at Pettingill Farm. Link HERE.

He is so sweet.
What a wonderful doggie memory for the child.
Good work, S. Sleepyhead watchdogs are the best kind. I watch over Mom just like that every night – cuddled up, eyes closed.
Love and licks,

He is the best-est dog. He didn’t even line up to kick J in the middle of the night when he starts chasing rabbits. Honey could use a lesson from him. 😉
Oh, he absolutely is the bestest dog ever!! That is so sweet. ♥
