Have you met my Lillie? She is the sweetest Golden Retriever with a great temperament. She is so laid back that sometimes, she is well, lazy. Her favorite past time is sleeping. Since Golden Retrievers are known for hip issues, I was very interested in the Hill’s Science Diet Healthy Mobility Challenge. Hill’s Pet Nutrition sent us a sample of the Science Diet Healthy Mobility food and toys for Lillie to play with. The Hills Pet food is supposed to make help your dogs mobility after 30 days. So far, Lillie seems to like the food. We have used the Hills Science Diet in the past, so it wasn’t a big change for her.
Isn’t she cute? As you can see, she likes to play with toys, sitting down! Lillie really seemed to like the toss ring that came in package. Surprisingly, she has left the squeaker in the toy. Evan tried to teach her to play with the frisbee – that went something like this – Evan threw frisbee, Lillie looked at him like “You want me to get that?” Evan did this about 10 times until he said Mommy, she doesn’t want to play frisbee. As soon as Evan put the frisbee down, Lillie went to pick it up. Go figure. She just has a mind of her own.

One of my most favorite moments with Flip was when the vet came out of the operating room and told me she she as going to be ‘OK’. That one word has given me many more years with Flip!

I just realized your contest doesnt mention we can comment 4 times and tweet 4 times so please delete my comments #2-4 if the extra comments are not allowed. Other sites are allowing 4 twets and 4 comments. My mistake.

One of my most favorite moments with Flip happens almost every day. Flip looks me right in the eye with her gorgeous blue eyes, as if to say ‘Thank you for adopting me. I love you’. It just makes me melt.

Flip’s all-time favorite activity is sleeping and snoring.

My favorite moment was the day I saw Flip for the first time in the Connecticut Humane Society Shelter…I saw her in a tiny cage, our eyes locked, and I fell in love instantly. I knew I had to ‘adopt’ her and she ‘adopted’ me. We are now best friends going on 12 years.

My favorite moment with my dog is after she ran away, finding her in the neighbor’s backyard with their greyhounds! She worried us so much but just went to visit her friends :)

My favorite time with my Cairn Terrier Penelope is a regular thing. I’m not sure how she figured it out, but alot of the time when I ask her if she wants a treat she makes this sound that sounds like “mhm” lol

My favorite time with my two Labrador’s Moose and Maci is bed time. I love snuggling with them and watching them try to get in a comfortable position.

we have a 9 year old pug, named “puggi” poor thing cant see too good anymore or smell too good but he still tries with all his might to chase the kids and catch dog treats…………he can’t really go on family walks anymore cause he can’t make it but when he used to go with us he barked at all the big dogs in the neighborhood like he was the head honcho! lol
Dawn LaJaunie says
My favorite thing my dog does is he barks when company comes in as to say hello then when they go to the door to leave he barks goodbye but while they are in the house he doesn’t bark.

My favorite ‘Shadow’ moment is when he runs around our yard with pure joy, the kind of joy only a dog can display!
Andrea T. says
My dogs favorite activity is to wait until I leave the house then chew up my stuff.
Meghan says
My favorite moment is reoccurring…the way he tilts his head when he wants attention. It’s his way of saying “I love you mom!”

my oldest child loves to play ball, any type of ball, she would be a great socker player….we play kickball in the house all of the time….she can bounce the ball on her nose and block kicks as well….my 2 other little girls love to play hide and seek, they hide under the couch and let mom find them ….
Tori SC says
My favorite moment was when she went out the front door (minus her leash of course) & thought it was time to play tag and she was it. 3 of us & she could out dodge us all…..until we got the hotdogs. O.S.C.A.R. her favorite.

Amy says
I have two dogs, a 15 month old old english sheep dog and a 10 year old beagle. My favorite moments are when the sheepdogs instincts take over and start herding the beagle. She moves him where she wants and it is hysterical watching him try to escape.

We’ve had some good times – in the garden catching rotten tomatoes, around the house cornering groundhogs – it’s hard to say what’s the best.

My Boston Terrier Zoe loves to “zoom, ” we think she might just have a little greyhound in her! She helps me relax and enjoy life!
Lindsay R. says
My dogs favorite thing to do is chew up sponges. He somehow manages to get them everytime we leave the house.
Jessica says
Its hard to pick one favorite moment, because I have them everyday. My golden retreiver is my guardian angel, he’s been there for me through some of my toughest moments, and I love the way he grunts when I pet him. My great dane has an un-canny ability to make me laugh just in time to lick my face and catch the inside of my mouth, which grosses me out but makes me laugh harder. My two mini dachsunds are my snuggle buddies and in the winter keep my feet and legs toasty warm while we cuddle under a blanket together.
Natalie R. says
My favorite moments with my “Panda” (a black and white deaf 8 month old Shih-Tzu) are when he’s immensely happy and does a “happy dance”. He puts his front paws up one foot at a time while walking happily to a treat or toy.

My favorite moment with Baudouin, my Bouvier, is “sharing” the couch with him (though he does weigh 120 pounds, so he sort of takes up the whole thing!) I love how he sighs as he is stretched out over the entire couch and I’m squnched in 5 inches of space, as if it’s such an inconvenience for HIM to have to share!
With my other little dog, Bandit (a Border Terrier), I just love watching him! He is the happiest little dog and wants to be with you all the time! Even when he is being naughty and we have to scold him, he’s still completely happy, simply wandering over to the next activity!
Jess says
I play hid and seek with my dog. He just loves it. Now that I have my son, he plays too. Of course my dog finds me first everytime….he’s such a cheater!
Peggy says
I take care of the guard dog at my job. His name is Big Boy because he is ummmm, Big Boy! LOL He is literally a “junk yard dog”. Taking the good care of him that he deserves is very important to me.

My two basset hounds Luci & Flash love to sleep so I love it when they are both cuddled up together and it’s real quite and I can listen to them snore. To me it’s one of the best sounds in the world:)

My English Bulldog’s favorite activity is eating!
Jen says
I have a 2 year old chihuahua. His favorite thing in the world to do is to go to the dog park. He has all of his little doggie friends there to play with and he loves running around off leash. The only problem is that we eventually have to go home!

Our dog Rosie likes to run around the trampoline with the kids.

my dog, Eor, acts like he is after worms or something in the ground. he’ll bark at the ground and jump up really high and pounce on that spot, then dig really fast. It is sooo funny. I love him.

My favorite moment ever was when my Pug, Rylee, sat next to me when I was sitting on the couch rubbing my big fat preggo belly. My put his teeny head on top of my massive belly and just looked up at me like “Is it time yet?!?!”
Samantha k says
Fav moment: when my two jacks lay in front of my face in bed. Once they know I am awake they start liking my face and running around like crazy. It is so cute. It makes me feel loved
Leee Ann Diehl says
My 80 lb baby likes to play with these squeaky eggs – they came out of toy chicken that you stuffed them inside and the dog was supposed to get them out – he “killed” the chicken but has had the eggs for a few years. Squeaks them like crazy in his mouth and will actually catch them if you throw them to him.
Beth Steltz says
My dog, Jakie really enjoy his bathtime. He does the cutest thing by after I give him a bath he goes right to out laundry room to sit on the washer! When he was a puppy I used to put a towel down on top of the washer and put him on top to brush his teeth and blow dry him. He has never forgot and just begs and crys to be up there but he is too big now for me to do that!
Anita Adkison says
While i LOVE to play with my dogs, my favorite moments are always the quiet ones. I have four mixed breed rescue dogs and they all sleep in my bedroom. I love when they’re all in my room at night, sacked out on their dog beds. Or when one lays on the couch or bed with me snoozing while i read or watch tv. :)

“My favorite moment with my baby “Jiggy”
is when we 1st met” I had went to Indiana for a family visit and a friend had a puppy to give away. I said yes as soon as she told me about her. She is 3 months old, Maltese, Shitzu mix.
I have depression and anxiety problems as well as walking and foot and leg problems.
So, she is going to help and be good therapy for me.<3
I <3 my Jiggy Boo..

I love my dog. We have a large breed dog and a 20 month old son. A couple of weeks ago I had given my son a snack. He was sitting on the floor eating and the dog was laying next to him (hoping he would drop a few pieces). The next thing I know my son is hand feeding his snack to the dog. And the dog ever so gently was eating each piece my son gave him. It was so sweet. I wish I would have had my camera nearby.

I have 4 Maltese dogs. They were my babies until I my 6 month old came along:) They are so sweet and playful. One of them Corky he howls at his favorite toy! They love being together and love our new little girl, they are very protective over her. I market for a boarding facility called For Paws Unleashed. If you could like our page and or help me get more fans I would greatly appreciate it. The suites have flat screens, Sealy mattresses for the dogs and webcams. We have doggy daycare, boarding and grooming. We also have 2 salt water pools. Thanks for sharing the info on the dog coupons they are so hard to find!
Blessings,
Carrie

My dog Chloe’s favorite activity is chasing bubbles with my son! I’ll blow them in the backyard and they both love to chase and pop all of them. Kind of funny watching a 70 pound bulldog chase bubbles… =)
