I was looking through posts for past Thanksgiving photos and came across this oldie but goodie, which first aired three years ago.
I think the captions perfectly fit the personalities of my dogs, don’t you?
From all of us, to all of you, Happy Thanksgiving!
Well my little ‘Mayor’ of the neighborhood has been at it again.
By far, his favorite stop on his route is the Whinnem’s house. Here Karen gives him lots of loving and Ray gives him Beggin’ Strips.
For quite a while, Liz and her husband, (Thibeault) lived with them, and we visited with them on most days. In September they moved into their own place, so we see them very infrequently.
Fall in CT has been weird. Typically, we have warm days, and cool nights, but the sultry heat of summer broke and cold days and colder nights moved in.
This means people stay inside and we rarely get a chance to visit with anyone on our walks.
A couple Saturdays ago, on our chilly Saturday afternoon walk, we turned the corner onto Karen’s street and I saw that Liz’s car was there.
Sampson always stops and stares, as if he can will people out the door.
I can usually get him up and moving in a short time, but he will stop none-the-less.
On our return trip, he stopped in the front of the house and I was trying to coax him up. I happened to look at the front window, and saw four arms waving wildly at us. I waved in return and then I noticed they all stood up and were putting coats on!
Yes, those sweet, wonderful people stopped their visit to come outside and greet the ‘Mayor’ of the hood.
And yes, he got Beggin’ Strips.
His joy at seeing the people he loves, always makes me smile.
You make me laugh, (or smile,) the sweet, funny, loving things dogs do that make us laugh or smile.
What did your pet do to make you laugh or smile this week?
I will more than likely burn in hell for what I’m about to type.
Okay….so those of you who know me, know I’m probably burning in hell regardless because well….let’s just say this probably isn’t the worse thing I’ve ever thought or said. And I’ll leave it at that .
Most of you know Delilah is dealing with heart issues, along with a progressive cornea disease called Endothelial Decompensation (Endothelial, another word I don’t need to look up.) In lay terms; Delilah’s corneas are thinning, which allows fluid to get behind the cornea, and it can cause blisters in her eyes. To try and prevent this from happening, I put a saline ointment in her eyes twice a day to try and keep fluid from building up in her eyes.
While most dogs with this disease don’t go blind, there can be some sight loss and Delilah has definitely experienced this.
I know she sees contrast far better than she sees in a traditional manner, I know this because I watch her and I can tell how she stops sometimes and stares in the direction she heard a noise, trying to figure out what it is.
Well, Jodi, why are you worried about burning in hell for that? It’s factual and there’s nothing wrong with that?
Yeah, that’s not what I’m burning in hell for.
This is.
Friday morning I was sitting watching the news, when Delilah heard something (what I don’t know) and jumped up, dashed over to the couch to stare out the window.
That’s when I LAUGHED and said, “What the hell are you looking at, you can’t see anyway.”
I know. Burn baby, burn.
