You Make Me Laugh – September 18, 2016

By

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.

This guy…this guy right here, he makes me laugh.

Golden Smiles

We’ve had some very hot, very humid weather for most of August and into the beginning of this month. Last week we had a front come through that took away a good bit of the humidity, making our afternoon walks, fairly tolerable.

On one of those super nice days, Sampson and I were on our way back and across the street from our house. I felt that familiar jerk on my arm, which typically indicates a good sniff is in order, or someone needs a potty break.

But when I turned around to see what had stopped him, I caught him scratching himself. And then in a moment I can only describe as complete joy, he flopped down in the grass, feet up in the air and wiggled in the grass.

When he was done scratching his back, he sat back up with this big goofy smile on his face.

Look at that smile.

Look at that smile.

How can you not laugh at that? What does your dog do on your walk that makes you laugh?

Pet Blogger Showcase – September 17, 2016

By

Thank you for joining me today for the Pet Blogger Showcase.

Today I’ll be sharing three of MY favorite posts from the previous Pet Blogger party which took place on September 3rd.

Here in no uncertain order, I present my favorite posts from the last Showcase.

How to Tell if Your Dog is in Pain by Elaine at Chasing Dog Tales

Most of you know that Sampson’s been struggling with some leg and muscle injuries as well as arthritis. The thing that really upsets me, is I noticed things were changing, but I didn’t realize the ‘symptoms’ were telling me he was in pain. Knowing what’s ‘normal’ and not normal can be really helpful.

The Most Beautiful Barf by Beth at Travels with Barley

Having a maniacal muncher myself, as soon as I saw the title of this one, I knew she’d gotten into something. If you have one of THOSE dogs, the one who eats anything/everything. I’m pretty sure you can relate to this one.

A Coat of a Different Color by Kathleen at All Things Collie.

Before I started following Kathleen’s blog, I thought collies only came in the Lassie ‘style’. You know, the long-haired kind. I had no idea there were different types of coats, and NOW she tells me there are different colors, and man, what a variety of colors! I love learning about different breeds of dogs and this post about the coat colors, what was SO interesting.

So there you have it, my favorites from the last showcase. What were yours?

You Make Me Laugh – September 11, 2016

Before I share today’s post, I’d like to take a moment to remember the fallen, both human and animals, from the September 11th tragedy, 15 years ago. They are all heroes.

Sampson, even though it can be frustrating at times, the way you simply lie there when I’m trying to put your harness on for your morning walk…

Putting a harness on a dog

you make me laugh.

I should clarify, some mornings I can’t laugh.

To his credit, Sampson usually only does this on his morning walk. I grab his harness, and tell him to get up, but he won’t. Most mornings I end up putting it on while he’s lying there!  I can’t quite figure out his motivation for this, because he really does love his walks!

Delilah on the other hand, runs over to me and is so excited that I’m putting her harness on….she spins.

Honestly, sometimes putting the dog’s harnesses on is like putting boots on a toddler. It’s a wrestling match.

Any tips for a frustrated dog wrangler?
