Welcome to the latest edition of co-hosted Follow-up Friday.

I’m very pleased to introduce you to a new co-hostess this week.  We’ve been slowly getting to know one another by reading each others blogs.  What I’ve learned thus far is she lives in Wisconsin with her husband and her four fur babies, Norman, Nellie, Gambler and Glory.  She hunts with her dogs, (how cool is that?) she shows and hunt tests Gambler and Glory, and she’s recently been writing some beautiful posts about her late father.

Did you guess JoAnn Stancer from Sand Spring Chesapeakes?  If you didn’t, then please be sure to hop on over and get to know her.

And remember, co-hosting is easy, just ask JoAnn. I have co-hosts lined up for the next two weeks but after that I’ll be back to begging.

Black and White Sunday

As luck would have it, I can’t locate the original photo.  I know, I know, I just made it into black and white. But I can’t remember where I put it.

So here’s another one from the same photo shoot.

This photo (and a number of others) were taken almost two years ago when I participated in a Back to School blog party hosted by Frankie Furter.   Our ‘session’ in the hop was Prom Etiquette.  I know, can you imagine Delilah teaching etiquette to anyone?

I didn’t think so.

A couple of you asked if Sampson was wearing a tie, as you can see in the color photo, yes he was.

This Dog will be the Death of me.

Honestly either Delilah will kill me either by giving me a heart attack or making me fall on the trail.  The other scenario which I am constantly worried about is that one of these days she will eat something that will kill her.

As it turns out, she came through this scare with flying colors.  Not without a few tense days on my part. Hubby figured out who sent the packing peanuts so I placed a frantic call and was advised the majority of them were made from potato starch.  (No wonder she was desperate to eat them.)

I never liked packing peanuts because of the mess, although with a dog like Delilah…

When Hubby announced at 6:00 am Tuesday morning that she’d taken a big dump, I shot out of bed like a cannon. She DID?

Poor Delilah couldn’t figure out what I was so excited about.

Gizmo said, “I hope everything “comes out” OK “in the end” (humor helps, right?)”  Yes it does.  Although I don’t think I laughed much that first day.

Leslie said, “Oh man, dogs are good at providing us with gray hair, aren’t they?”  You don’t know the half of it Leslie, between the kids and Delilah I’m just about completely gray.

ACD6Pak said, “I’m thinking that you’ll be out there in the dark with a flashlight won’t you?” Damn straight I was! Followed her around like I was a lovestruck school girl.  I think I scared her.

Tracking Spring

Here is my latest photo, taken yesterday afternoon.

I thought I should throw in a picture of the bush in my back yard.

Vermont Soap Giveaway

Shannon said, “I wonder if it would help with Rogue’s allergy itchies?”

My contact at Vermont Soap said, “This shampoo will help. We just released a new Hot Spot Oil for pets as well. It is designed to treat irritated itchy spots on pets. Try it out, I think your dog will be very happy!”

There you have it, straight from the expert. 😀

This ‘N That Thursday

Most of you can relate to this issue and I’ll tell you the truth.  When we walk in the woods if the dogs go way off trail, I don’t usually follow them in to pick it up.

I heard that.

When they poop in the field I always pick it up.  When they poop on the trails, I usually pick it up, but if I’m really lazy I flick it off to the side.

2 Brown Dawgs said, “We did talk poop on FB didn’t we? It was there for all our friends to see. ” LOL yes, yes we did.  In fact, I think I even said “I can’t believe we’re talking poop on facebook.” 😀

Emma said, “We only poop on walks, we learn no pooping in the yard as puppies.” I was wondering why that is?  And what happens if your human is really sick and can’t take you for a walk?  Where do you go?

Thanks for joining JoAnn and I for Follow-up Friday.  Have a great weekend.

This is the Follow-up Friday blog hop, the blog hop that let’s you wrap up your week and leads you right into the weekend.
