Here we are, another week gone and time for Follow-Up Friday. This week my co-hostess is a newbie. 🙂 That’s right, but I’m sure she’s not new to you!
Quite frankly I’m not sure how this lady does it. She writes a bang up blog, stays on top of current animal legislation in Missouri, share adoptable dogs, recently added the cutest little black lab to her pack, and in addition to all of these thing, she creates the most beautiful jewelry and has planned a month-long celebration for her dog Jeffie’s birthday.
If you guessed Sue from The Talking Dog Blog, give yourself a gold star! Welcome Sue and thank you for joining me today and sharing in hostessing duties.
This is the Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop, the hop that let’s you wrap up your week and leads you right into the weekend!
Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop
I’m Not Mad at You, I’m Mad at Me
Last year when Delilah ran off I reconciled my mind to the possibility that she might always have to be on leash, yet I continue to work her and her recall in the hope that someday she’ll get it. And who knows, maybe some day she will, but I don’t expect it to be soon.
2 Brown Dawgs said, “You need one of those GPS collars” – I know, Hubby was telling me about them and he said, “But they’re $8 per month.” And I said, “But $8 for piece of mind, it’s well worth it!”
Gizmo said, “Only hope I can offer is that as he got older (like 5) he stopped his wandering” – Um…Giz? She turned seven in December. 🙁
I wasn’t sure how I was going to like Black and White Sunday but I loved it! Here’s the picture I ran.
And here’s the original photo.
Sue asked, “Is that Sampson at the top of the steps?” Yes, that is Sampson, he loved that porch!
Emma asked, “Is that your house?” No Emma, sadly it is not. It belongs to my daughter’s in-laws, and we were lucky enough to stay there for a week when they were renting it out.
Mel asked, “Is he waiting for you to put the camera down?” No, actually I think he was wondering why I was off the porch and he wasn’t! 🙂
2 Brown Dawgs, “Are those palm trees?” Yes indeed.
Misty Shores, “I find it amazing how some photos look so much better in black and white than color.” I agree, I like this so much in black and white, I’m thinking of printing it off and framing it.
Sugar, “LOVE the railing, what’s the color?” The railing is plain white, but it really stands out, no?
Dogs N Pawz, “Is that Sampson guarding the house?” It is Sampson, but I don’t think he was guarding.
Sue, “Where are you???” This my friend is the beautiful Emerald Isle, North Carolina.
Doggy’s Style, “May I compliment your eyes?” Yes you can. Thank you Leo. 🙂
What Would You Do For Your Pet?
Most of us agreed, we’d jump in after our pets. I never let my dogs get that far away from me near water, so I never really thought about it. Having now thought about it, I would try to remain calm and talk to them trying to encourage them to swim to a safe spot. Knowing myself though, I’d panic and go right in after them.
Emma said, “First, you are using wordpress, so when you insert a link always check the open link in a new window box that way when the reader closes that linked page they still have your page.” Thank you Emma, I appreciate the tip, I did not know that but going forward, I will always have the link open in a new window.
Jackie asked, “can you imagine standing and watching your pup be swept away?” No, I absolutely could not.
2 Brown Dawgs shared a really interesting story.
I read it, I get it but I know me, my heart rules and I would die trying to save them.
Wellness Wednesday Fleas and Ticks
Carol asked, “I like the idea of spraying before we go walking..but do you know if it is ok to use with topical treatments???” No Carol, I don’t. Any of my vet tech friends know the answer to that?
Barb said, “When you have perfected your own spray, I would be very interested in your recipe if you care to share. Absolutely Barb!
Married with Dawgs said, “I use apple cider vinegar, regular grooming & baths and a natural spray with a variety of essential oils. It’s been working like a charm for almost 2 years.” I’d like to know more about the ACV and what spray you are using.
Dawn asked, “how often do you do a Lyme disease test to check your dogs?” That’s a great question Dawn and would you believe I don’t know? I have to check with my vet and see if they test that when they do bloodwork, if they don’t you can bet they will going forward!
Snoopy asked, “Have you ever tried the discs that are supposed to work for 2 years, Mum’s read about them before, but thought maybe they were too good to be true?” No Snoopy, I have never heard of the discs. Tell me more. 🙂
Sue asked, “And the toy has survived Delilah, you say?” Yes the toy did survive, but once she had flattened the bottle I took it away, so who knows if eventually she would have managed to get it open.
Whew! This edition of Follow-Up Friday is a wrap! Thanks again to Sue at Talking Dogs for co-hosting with me, please be sure to stop over to her blog and enter Jeffie’s birthday photo contest.
