Today we are joining the 2 Brown Dawgs and Ruckus the Eskie for This ‘N That Thursday, the Halloween Edition. Many thanks to our hosts.

Before I share our Halloween contribution, I’d like to share some extremely good news.  If you are my friend on Facebook you probably already know this.

Remember this girl?

Last Tuesday I was bawling my eyes out because her photo was removed from Petfinder.  This Tuesday I was bawling my eyes out because I found out that she did indeed have a name and that name was Arista.  I’m not sure what she’s being called now, but I am beyond thrilled to share that she was saved!

While I’m certain that my blogging about her really had no bearing on her fate, I’m also almost certain that social media played a very large part and for that I am extremely grateful.

Halloween Fun

I have to commend those of you with the foresight to plan for holiday shoots and the patience it takes to work with one or multiple dogs.  I have trouble getting both of my dogs looking in the same direction, never mind at the camera.

None-the-less here for your viewing pleasure is our contribution to the Halloween edition of This ‘N That Thursday.

And for the record, Delilah was not amused.  I believe her exact words were, “Are you woofing kidding me?”

I better watch out the next time there’s a human shaming hop. 😀

Dogs of Blogville Calendars

The calendars arrived yesterday!!  Yay!!  It will take me a few days to get them out.  I hope to really work on them tomorrow, but having to ship to so many people may take a little bit of time.

Plus I will probably have to raid a couple of Post Offices in order to get all the supplies I need. 🙂  (Note to self, if I do this again, it might be a wise idea to order the postal supplies.)

Follow-Up Friday

I wanted to respond to a comment posed in last week’s blog hop.

Earl Lover said, “I think I should know a bit more about blog hops before hosting/co-hosting, as I don’t want to volunteer then not know what I’m doing! But if its free, then I would be quite happy to co-host.”

First, it is definitely free!  If someone is charging you to co-host or join their blog hop that is not cool.

Second, I really have very few rules for my FUF co-hosts.  I personally like to go to the blogs who are participating and thank them for doing so.  As a co-host if you’d like to do that you are welcome to, but it is certainly not required.

I do ask that you mention you are co-hosting and provide a link to Heart Like a Dog in your post, but other than that, I have no rules.

If you are able to insert link code in your blog to have the hop show up, then you can be a co-host.  If you aren’t able to insert code but are able to add a link to my site and tell people they can get the code here, then you can be a co-host.

I provide the code to you typically sometime on Thursday, although if I’m being very proactive you might get it sooner. 😀 I also add your link to the hop so you don’t have to worry about getting up early and inserting your link.  It’s all part of the service.

It really is that easy.  And hopefully you’ll find some great new blogs to read and make some new friends.

That being said, my co-host for tomorrow’s hop is Jo-Ann from Sand Spring Chesapeakes.  If you are interested in co-hosting next week, please let me know in the comments, or drop me an e-mail at stone.jodi@ymail.com

That’s it for today, I look forward to recapping my week and answering some of your questions in tomorrow’s Follow-Up Friday post.
