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

You Make Me Laugh – September 28, 2014

By

You make me laugh (or smile) the funny, sweet, loving things my dogs do on a daily basis that brings a smile to my face or a laugh to my lips.

We have a little electric grill that we use for heating up foods, or making delicious sandwiches.  When I’m doing up dishes after dinner, I take the wet dishcloth and run it over the grill, close it up and let it sit.  When the dishes are done I take a paper towel and wipe the grill clean.

Of course Delilah is always right there awaiting an opportunity to assist me in some way. 

Thursday night we used the grill to heat up some balsamic chicken for dinner. After I had wiped the grill off I turned to dispose of the paper towel and I noticed a tiny little spider crawling on the rug.  Not thinking about what was on the paper towel, and only thinking about the spider I reached down and squished it.  Delilah of course bent down too.  As I squished the spider I realized that my paper towel had gross grill stuff on it and I stopped what I was doing to get a clean paper towel. As I turned I said to Delilah, “Don’t….” But it was too late.

Delilah ate the spider.

Balsamic vinegar spiders. That's a delicacy in some countries you know.

I could only laugh, a deep belly laugh and I said to Hubby, “I can’t…I don’t…this dog.”  We both just laughed and laughed.

Your turn what kind of silly things do your dogs eat?

Sampson, the lazy way you let your Kong fall to the floor and wait for The Daddy or the Mama to pick it up…

Golden - Lab

You make me laugh.

He also has a tendency to give up on the Kong and wait for one of us to poke the treats out.  You gotta love a dog that is confident his needs will be taken care of.

Your turn, what do your babies do that make you smile?

This dog, this dog makes me laugh.

Me? Oh Mama, you are such a flatterer.

Me? Oh Mama, you are such a flatterer.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  I need a Delilah cam, because a lot of the stuff this dog does I can’t get on camera.  

One of the things I love best about Delilah is her zest for life.  Everything she does, she does with enthusiasm, she throws her whole being into what she’s doing.  And one of those things, is greeting either the Hubby or I, when we get up in the morning or come home from somewhere.

Take the other morning for instance.  Sampson and I got up while Delilah was outside.  I went into the bathroom and I left the door open, as I was sitting there Hubby let Delilah in.  When she saw that Sampson was up, she knew I was as well.  So she went flying into the bedroom to greet me, but I wasn’t there.  So she came flying back out to search the house and she had just gotten past the open bathroom door when she realized where I was and turned around.  It gave me the biggest belly laugh and it was an awesome way to start my day.

Your turn, what do your babies do that make you laugh?
