Welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday, the post where I highlight reader’s comments, answer questions and generally just wrap up my week.
Caption the Photo
Sophie said, “OH, Mom, “Just 5 more minutes!” ”
Sand Spring Chesapeakes said, “Awe shucks, you caught me, can’t I just sleep in today?”
Frankie and Ernie said, “P. Uie…. I gotta cut the BEANS outta my diet.”
Jen Gabbard said, “Dude – I was having a dream about Lassie, did you really have to wake me up?”
Sophie hit the nail on the head. That is exactly what I was thinking! LOL but I so enjoyed all the comments. When Sampson was a puppy I had to call him like a child just to get him out of bed and outside before I left for work.
Find the Beauty
Molly the Wally said, “That really is the downside of this time of year…the dark o clock mornings.”
I love that saying, “dark o clock”! LOL
Frankie and Ernie said, “Just think of this…. Dec. 21st. is the SHORTEST (DARKEST) day of the YEAR… and on the 22nd.. the days start getting LONGER… Isn’t that exciting? We love that thought. It is like a Christmas gift…”
It is exciting. You know those silly surveys that you take where they ask you what your favorite day is? Most people list a holiday or their birthday but I always say December 21st, because after that the days get longer again!
Christmas Came Early
A quick update. Di has informed me that Charlie has discovered the oranges in the yard and likes to chase after them; although they’re a bit big for his mouth. I think Charlie might be getting a ball for Christmas. 🙂
Sue said, “Wonderful! I needed a good news story today 
”
We all need good news stories like this Sue!
Jan said, “It is hard to understand anyone being cruel to such an adorable dog, but I do love happy endings.”
It totally boggles my mind how people can be so cruel.
Sherrie Petrie said, “Two weeks ago my hubby was looking on the web page for the Municipal Shelter and found the cutest Chihuahua puppy (a deer chihuahua) who had been there over a month and was an owner surrender. We think the previous owners had small children because when we played with her tail she would snap at us and if cornered she would attack snapping but after two weeks of love and affection she has turned into a spoiled little precious angle!!!!!!! She sleeps with all of us (her other 2 “sisters”) at night and has mastered the doggie door. I’m very proud of her !!!!!!!”
Whoo Hoo!! Good for you Sherrie!! Another feel good story. Bless you.
#Advent4Dogs Day 10
Emma said, “Mom is terrified that we could take off some day, so we always carry our info on our collars and we have chips too. ”
It scares me too Emma. Because Delilah is after all a runner.
Two French Bulldogs said, “People like stealing French Bulldogs. Mom keeps her eye out for us.”
That worries me too Lily and Edward. Not Delilah so much….I think they’d bring her back. 😉
2 Brown Dawgs said, “Delilah would never take off on you!”
BWA HA HA right. From your lips.
Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful
I’m the Brain right? And the Mini Me. For sure, the Mini Me.
Sophie said, “What a day you had! I laughed all the way through your post. I could picture every step of your day. I know why you can’t stay mad at Delilah. She has the sweetest expression! She smiles sweetly with her eyes. She is a love.”
I’m glad, I meant it to be funny. And you are right, I can’t usually stay mad at her.
Molly the Wally said, “Sorry we laughed too and specially at the bit about well how many times can a dog shake themselves dry in the rain?…….never too many times in our book.”
Yay, I wanted you to laugh. Really? You can’t shake enough? It sure felt like enough to me. LOL
Emma said, “Ice sucks, but we walk in all weather, so we take Mom out in ice storms too. She usually ends up falling and we then jump all over her thinking she wants to get down to our level and play. She seems to put on a bad mood after that happens and we end up skating back home. She bought something called yak traks for under her shoes for ice which help a bit, but we just enjoy dragging her along with us wherever we decide to go. ”
Oh Emma, you crack me up. I do have a knock off set of Yaks, Hubby tells me they’re in my car. I suppose it’s time to take them out.
Hawk a.k.a. Brown Dog said, “My Human got me a set of Pawz,…Course, visualizing you trying to get 8 boots on 8 Lab feet…WOW! WHAT A POST THAT WOULD MAKE! BOL!!!
I keep saying I’m going to get them booties or shoes, I just haven’t done it yet But you can be when I do, I’ll be writing a post about it. 🙂
Jan K said, “I won’t usually walk when it’s really icy, but sometimes you just have to.”
Since Sampson had his surgery the dogs have become accustomed to doing their morning business on their walk. I figured I have better control of them if I’m walking them and they’re not out in the yard taking chances.
Blueberry’s Human said, “I love your various nicknames for them! I’m glad we don’t have ice issues here; I can barely walk on dry surfaces.”
LOL I’m sure you walk just fine! Glad you liked the names.
Beth said, “Careful on that ice! After falling twice in 2 years (not on ice but from an elevation) and breaking each arm, I’m EXTREMELY nervous of slipping.”
Oh my gosh! That’s awful, I hope you’ve had no lasting injuries! Yes, I try to be careful, I’ve fallen before and hurt myself, so I’m extra careful.
Monika said, ” Stay warm and don’t be too hard on the ‘Evil One’; she’s so adorably cute and clever and the topic of so many delightful stories that make the rest of us smile with our morning coffee. ”
Thank you, what would I write about with her?
Jan said, “Love your varying nicknames for your dogs. I knew which was which. Do they have any nicknames for you after they return from these icy walks?”
Oh I’m sure they do Jan. I’m just glad they can’t articulate it. 😉
