Heart Like a Dog

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

You Make Me Smile – April 13, 2014

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

Delilah, your determination to lay on the couch, despite the obstacles put there to keep you off…..

Miss Delilah, happy at last.

Miss Delilah, happy at last.

You make me smile.

Back story:  We are allowed to give Sampson a bit more freedom in the house, but he’s not allowed free access to stairs nor is he allowed to climb on furniture.

I knew the first place he’d head would be the couch, so I blocked it off, threw a couple of dog beds on the floor and encouraged them to use them.

The first night Delilah stood at the end of the couch contemplating.  Hubby said, “She’s going to go over.”

But she didn’t!

Yesterday morning same thing.   She stood at the end looking longingly at the couch, again she didn’t.

Hubby and I ran out to do some errands and I put Sampson in his room, and allowed Delilah couch access.  When we came home, we took Sampson out of the room and once again blocked off the couch.

While we were having a bite of lunch I looked up and said to Hubby, “She going for it.”

Sure enough she did.  She looks so damn content just lying there, I couldn’t help but smile.

I keep forgetting to remind you, please vote for #9, Crunchy Blueberry Pancakes, in the Excalibur Dehydrator give away hosted by Kol’s Notes.  The last day is tomorrow!

Sampson, the way you stared out the door at the Vet’s office last week, waiting for the next person to come in and love on you…

You made me smile.

**You can just barely see his left knee in this photo, but if you look closely you can see the Seroma jutting out right where the knee bends.

I’ve been using warm compresses on his knee four to six times per day and the circumference of the Seroma seems to be shrinking.

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

 

You Make Me Laugh – March 30, 2014

You make me laugh (or smile.)  The funny, sweet and loving things my dogs do every day that brings a smile to my face or a laugh to my lips.

Delilah, the fact that you understand me when I say, “Babe, there’s a chippie out there” makes me smile.  The way you dart to the door and run like crazy to the place I pointed out to you, and enthusiastically try to catch that chipmunk….well that makes me laugh.

I saw a chipmunk go in here.

Chip Hole1

Delilah ran up the stairs, sniffed around and starting digging.  Here’s what she discovered.

Chip Hole2

I’m not sure you can tell from the two photos, but the hole she discovered is in front of the rock you see in the first photo.  She dug like crazy until she’d uncovered the hole.  And then…..

Chip Hole3

She tried her darndest to find that Chippie, which made me laugh.

Your turn.  Do your babies understand certain words when you talk to them?  What are some of the words your dogs know that surprise you?
