As usual I’m late to this party.

I’ve mentioned before, sometimes things aren’t quite clear to me when I read about them.  Hence, not knowing what I was supposed to do for this event, my post is a bit late.  But none-the-less, I am here!

Two Little Cavaliers and Pamper Yourself In Pink are hosting a Social Media Blog Event.  Bloggers sign up to promote their blogs on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus.  On specific days (12/14, 12/18 and 12/22) these 30 bloggers will have posts that will contain links to enter the contest.  Follow the instructions in the blog post by going to the link and entering the contest. (The free WordPress account won’t let me add the script myself.)

The money paid by these bloggers will be split 40/60.  You can enter the drawing here.  The winner will receive $112 cash AND $213 will be donated to the charity of the winner’s choice!  How exciting is that?   Please go check the link out and enter to win.  What do you have to lose?

Before I knew I was supposed to be blogging about this event, I had planned a post for Delilah’s birthday.

Yes, today is my darling Delilah’s sixth birthday, or at least this is the date we have chosen as her birthday  since we don’t really know the date she was born.  When we adopted her in May of 2007 our vet told us she was maybe 18 months old, going back 18 months to December we chose this date to celebrate as it was my grandmother’s birthday and she was very special to me.  The vet’s office lists Delilah’s date of birth as December 1st.

We celebrated her birthday with the family on Saturday.  Pizza and cake for the human partiers and raw food and special cookies for the canines. 🙂

 

 

 

 

A brief history.  Delilah was adopted by us from American Lab Rescue, she came to us from a high kill shelter in Louisiana via a converted horse trailer from her foster family in Tennessee.  You can read her story here.

Hubby always says, “Delilah is one dog who is happy to be alive.”

She greets and embraces life head on, whatever is thrown her way she is up for the challenge.

Her enthusiasm for life is amazing, everything she does is with her whole being.  Nothing is half-assed with this dog. 🙂

I could stand to take a few lessons from this gal.

Funny, sweet, frustrating, impetuous, enthusiastic, challenging, silly, stubborn, loving, these are all words I use to describe my girl.

So today on this special day we call your birthday I’d like to say thank you Delilah for all the joy and laughter you have brought into my life.  I am grateful to whoever looked at you and said, “We can save this girl.”

You make me a better person Delilah and for that I thank you.

Think of the lives you can save simply by entering this contest.  Who knows, the donation made on your behalf just might give someone else their ‘Delilah.’
