Welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday. The post where I highlight reader’s comments, answer questions and generally wrap up my week.
You Make Me Smile – March 23, 2014
Emma said, “Goodness, I’m guessing hubby is in bed too which would make four full sized bodies in a full bed over full!”
Actually, Sampson and I have been staying on the futon mattress in a spare room. Hubby and Delilah are still sleeping in the bedroom. Except Hubby doesn’t usually settle in as early as Delilah would like, so she comes in and snuggles with us.
Frankie and Ernie said, “They Truly do LOVE getting to cuddle up with us, don’t they?”
This Mama sure does!
Donna suggested, “Maybe you can get YOURSELF a comfy dog bed?’
There have been nights when I’ve actually thought about sleeping on one of their beds. 🙂
Many thanks to Vlad & Barkly’s Dee for the new (to me) gluten-free website! I’m always up for finding new sites to help me with this dietary requirement.
Jenna, Mark “HuskyCrazed Drady said, “I saw this giveaway also, and I wanted to enter, but have no idea for a recipe, or anything like that!
Don’t let that stop you! Here’s a little tip that Jodi gave me, if you can bake it, you can dehydrate it. Take one of your favorite dog treat recipes and then place it on a cooling rack and set that rack on a cookie sheet and bake it at the lowest setting in your oven. The time varies depending upon the treat. You will have to check it.
Callie, Shadow and Ducky’s Mom said, “Ducky, on the other hand, could jerk your arm right out of its socket when she pulls.”
Guess what Sue? Sampson’s physical therapist told me about a different type of harness designed to stop the pulling. I’m working on getting one and will keep you updated if it works.
No is When the Negotiation Begins
Molly the Wally said, “LOL D makes us chuckle as I try and do lap dog too.”
Molly, I think you are the perfect size for a lap dog. 🙂
Sue said, “In my experience, the hardest part will be towards the end of that – when he’s really feeling good and you’ll still need to keep him quiet.”
I do believe you are right. He already tries to run (he tucks that leg up.) Twice already Delilah’s started barking and he’s tried to run and investigate. I’ve been off since Wednesday so I can care for him, but next week I go back 1/2 days, which is why Hubby put the crate back up and he will have to be in the crate when one of us isn’t here.
I totally hate putting him in the crate with that giant cone on his head, but I can’t take a chance that he will run. Have you seen that freaking cone?
It’s gifuckingnormous.
The physical therapist insisted he have a cone that large because he has a long nose. Personally I feel he’s so dejected when I put it on him, that he will simply lie there. BUT we can’t take any chances, so I have to put my baby in a cone and then in a crate. But as the PT reminded me, it’s only for two weeks and most of that time someone will be monitoring him. Although I do put the cone on him at night, just in case.
True story, the first night Sampson decided he wanted to snuggle with me and I got smacked in the face by the cone at 3 in the morning.
Jan K said, “There is nothing like a little silliness to help relieve stress! You and your sister sound like quite the pair.”
We like to think so Jan. 😉
Jan says, “I love what the vet office always says when you call with a problem. “Keep an eye on him.” Like, gee, who would have thought to do that?”
Right? Like how do you think I spotted it to begin with? It wasn’t because I was playing Candy Crush. 😉
Well that’s a wrap for me, hope you all have a great weekend! And thank you again for all the love and support!
