Heart Like a Dog

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

Seriously Silly

By

One of the things I love most about labs, is how damn goofy they are, even when they’re trying to be serious.

Like yesterday. Hubby and I grabbed breakfast and settled in on the couch to eat. Delilah, who many times gets some scraps from the Daddy, also settled in.

Slowly, so slowly she settled herself down…on…a…squeaky toy. All Hubby and I heard was a long, drawn out squeak as she laid right on it.

Of course, she had no idea as the noise didn’t faze her one bit.

Which made both Hubby and I laugh and laugh.

Coming Home

By

We have a little balcony on the front of our house. On nice days, I leave the slider open. On those days, the dogs would always walk to the screen when I got home from work.

One day, someone didn’t close the slider and as I pulled into the driveway, a cat walked across the lawn. That was the day that Delilah went through the screen. Ever since that day, we have our own version of a doggy door.

I really don’t mind because it lets the dogs get outside on those super nice days.

When Hubby picked me up from the airport last Sunday, I was hoping he’d left the door open so the dogs would see me as soon as I got home.

Sure enough, he had, and when we pulled into the yard, Sampson was snoozing on the balcony. One of the things I’ve noticed is there are times when Sampson sleeps, where he is literally sacked out. This happened to be the case last Sunday.

We pulled into the yard, and I said, “Hi puppy!” and he kept right on snoozing. So I said it louder, and this time he heard me. But as he’d been sleeping when we pulled in, he heard me, but he didn’t know where he heard me.

So his head whips up and he looks around, and then he spotted me, and I got the biggest smile.  Which of course, made me smile.

Except I didn’t have my camera ready…so….you’ll have to content yourself with this photo of him smiling.

Look at that smile.

 

You Make Me Smile – May 21, 2017

By

I’m a bad dog mama. I bought Sampson and Delilah toys for Easter, and I forgot to give them to them. Luckily for me, the dogs didn’t know it was Easter, so they weren’t twixed about not receiving them on time.

When I finally got around to it, this is the reaction I got.

It’s tough to live with that kind of enthusiasm.

Delilah of course, accepted her bunny with relish.

Not the real relish that you put on hotdogs, although, I’m sure she would have taken that too. No, Delilah attacked her bunny with delight, promptly destroying it and pulling the squeaker out.

Eventually her squeaking woke someone up.

Not that it mattered, I mean, he just went right back to sleep. Which of course, made me smile.

For the record…she got that squeaker out the next week.
