Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket

By

If you saw our post yesterday you know we had an Easter “photo shoot” on Saturday.

Sampson has had camera’s stuck in his face since he was three weeks old, he’s very blase′ about it.

Delilah is by far the harder dog to get a photo of, she’s not particularly fond of ‘smiling’ for the camera, she’s constantly looking somewhere else and for some reason, I feel like I rarely get good shots of her.

So imagine my surprise when during our Easter photo shoot, I took eleven photos with only one blooper.

To be fair it wasn’t her fault.

There we were out on the deck, both dogs posed with the eggs looking great.  All of a sudden both dogs snapped their heads to their right, my left.  What the heck I thought that’s a great shot, I’ll title it, “Is that the Easter Bunny I see.”

It worked in my head.

Monday Mischief Does she look like a dinosaur here, or is it just me?

Sadly what works in my head doesn’t work when a deer walks through the neighbor’s yard and behind our fence.

To her credit, she did lay back down and stayed while I snuck up in the back to try to get a photo (I didn’t) but as soon as we gave her the release command she went up back to check things out for herself.

Do you plan photo shoots with your dogs?  Do they turn out the way you think they would?

The Trash Collector

Saturday was a bad Delilah walk day, it was as bad as Defeated and Lost, Parts One and Two.

Yup.  It was that bad.

I plan on talking about the walk portion of the day tomorrow.

Today I want to tell you about Saturday night.

Hubby and I had dinner plans with my cousin.  We planned to meet at six o’clock, which meant more than likely we’d be back after their scheduled 7 o’clock dinner time.  No big deal, maybe they’d let Hubby sleep in a little later yesterday morning.

When all was said and done, it was about 8:30 by the time we got home.

I headed straight to the kitchen because Delilah was losing her mind.

I heard Hubby say, “Oops, I must have left my lunch stuff out.”

Spring Fever

By

Delilah has spring fever.

That’s the only explanation I have.  If I went back through my posts I’m sure I’d discover that last year and the year before at this time, Delilah was getting into mischief.

Technically it’s not like she contains her mischief only to the spring, but it just seems, she’s more active at this time of year.

Our walks normally run about half an hour during the week, and I try to increase them to over 45 minutes on the weekends or on a day off.

Last Wednesday I came home on my lunch and took the dogs for a half hour walk in the woods.  I gave them each a treat and left them to sleep on the couch until I returned home shortly after 5:00 PM.

It worked in my head.

Once I walked in the door however, I immediately noticed that all had not gone according to plan.

IMG_4251 I KNOW I didn’t leave that door open or that trash on the floor.

IMG_4249 Nor did I shred a Pop Corners bag and leave it on the living room floor.

I looked at my dogs.

IMG_3810 I ain’t no snitch, I didn’t see anything.

Delilah was surprisingly quiet, sitting off by herself and not interacting with me.

IMG_4252 Why do you always look to me?  Is it because I’m a rescue dog?

No Delilah, it’s because you’re a mischief-maker and this is the Monday Mischief blog hop, hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog and My Brown Newfies.
