Welcome to Co-Hosted Follow-Up Friday, the blog hop that let’s you wrap up your week and leads you right into the weekend.
My co-hostess this week apparently likes punishment. Not only is her female, Storm expecting puppies in less than two weeks, she also recently started the This ‘N That Thursday blog hop and today she’s back to help me out.
Please give a warm Heart Like a Dog welcome to our friends at the 2 Brown Dawgs blog. (Sorry, I’ve always wanted to type that.)
The thing I love about Follow-up Friday is the flexibility, so since I’m struggling to respond to comments, I’m going to try answering some of them here, along with my follow-up.
Savvy?
Emergency Recalls…WHAT?
It always makes me feel better to find that other people are doing similar things that I am (talking to your dogs like they KNOW what you’re saying.)
Thanks to Tales and Tails who said “Jen over at Never Say Never Greyhounds did a great post a while back about teaching recalls, and she does have an emergency, can never be ignored recall. She teaches it with grilled steak, if I remember right, and by golly, I’d recall for her every time, too! I think it’s definitely worth your time and effort to teach it and work on it.”
I plan on bookmarking this and checking it out when I have a few minutes.
I also started watching Patricia McConnell’s “Lassie Come!” video, which is also on my list to finish.
Acd6pack asked, “Do you dehydrate the turkey hearts yourself?”
No, I’m lazy when it comes to making treats for the dogs, although Hubby and I have been talking about purchasing a dehydrator and once I have one, I intend on working on dehydrating certain things and hearts will probably be one of them.
My question for you is, how do you recall a deaf dog that is off-leash?
Al asked, “How many takes?”
Actually I took 11 photos and only one of them was a real ‘blooper’ which I ended up using anyway.
AnimalCouriers asked, “are we seeing a little sun there?”
Yes, yes you were. We’ve actually had a couple of spring like days. It gives hope to the soul.
Delilah the Retriever and Oz the Terrier
Jan said, “Not many rhyme with Poodle or Chihuahua though.”
Oh yeah? ;-0
The lady named Jan had chihuahuas
They made her laugh like he he and hah, hah, hah’s
She also had poodles
who liked to eat noodles
then needed their thirst quenched with some wa wa’s.
Last week Caren said, “Liked your quote but was hoping you would post some of the quotes that you received…darn! Next Time.”
So here is mine:
WTF? I didn’t know he was so delicate!
As always I loved all your comments. Some of my favorites were:
Caren – “I can’t believe I ate the WHOLE thing!”
JoAnn – “Look mom no body!”
Houndstooth – “The thing just EXPLODED! I’m as shocked as you are!”
Georgia Little Pea – WHAT are my legs doing there?!
Julie said, “that sweet face at the beginning of the video melts my heart.”
It melts mine too my friend. 🙂
Emma said, “Mom understands that poor woman all too well. She is always telling me about how my sister Katie would take off on her and not let herself get caught. One time she even ran out into a kids soccer game and was after the ball, they had to stop the whole game and mom still couldn’t catch Katie…now she is older and a bit more sensible but mom knows that it just happens and there is nothing you can do. Katie just wanted to play as well, so there was no physical harm ever done.”
I imagine that made mom very anxious Emma, I’m glad you’re such a good girl and stay close to your mom.
That’s a wrap for this edition of Follow-Up Friday, hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs and Heart Like a Dog. Please check out our fellow hoppers. This is the co-hosted Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop
