With Sampson on the D.L. Delilah has decided to step up to the plate.
Saturday was my morning for a dog food run, since Trader Joe’s is on the way, it’s also the day I stop and shop. It is a 60 mile round trip and I schedule it so I go only once every three weeks.
I tried to make sure everything was picked up before I left, because I knew Delilah would either be bored or mad.
Normally when she gets into something she drags it out into the living room and decimates it on the rug. I’ve gotten so I automatically look over that way as I walk in the door.
But there was nothing!
I brought the dog food in, set the necks in the sink to thaw, brought the groceries in and put them away. I walked into the bedroom to start a load of laundry and
I guess the living room is no longer her favorite place for destroying things.
It’s what’s left of a bag of nut thins. A bag of nut thins she took out of my work bag.
Since she follows me everywhere around the house, I asked her, Did you do this?
Here’s the answer I got.
I can’t stand to look at it. Oh the nutty goodness.
Later on when we took our walk I noticed her poop was a little bit soft.
Hmmpf I said, You don’t think it’s because of the bag of NUT CHIPS you ate, do you?
Do you have a destructo Delilah at home? What kinds of things has your dog eaten?
Welcome to the Monday Mischief blog hop hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Blog, Luna and Cinder and My Brown Newfies.
I SO have “destructo” in my home . . . her name is Pipper! And she loves to get into EVERYTHING . . . last week she managed to get a plastic bottle of cinnamon sticks which she DESTROYED! NOTHING was left in its’ original condition . . . NOTHING! ANYTHING she can get, she will destroy. I’m HOPING that once the puppiness in her goes away things will improve . . . hopefully. 😀
I’ve never had a “nut chip” but they sound YUMMY. Smart of Delilah to help herself, rather than waiting for you slow moving peoples to get around to it.
I can’t leave a trash sack within five feet of the floor even when there is nothing yummy smelling in them. I think they destroy them just for the practice.
It’s funny, Gracie has certain things she goes after like tissues, paper, laundry basket but she leaves my shoes and purse alone….so far. We’ve gone through 3 bottles of bitter apple and have had a 4th for a long time now. I’m hoping *fingers crossed* that it stays that way.
BWAHAHAHAHA! Poor Delilah! We no longer have a destructo dog. They all grew out of that phase. After age two.
Hey Sampson, Hey Delilah, Jet here. Hi Miss Jodi.
Uh oh, busted. Mom likes Nut thins, too!
Hard to give the naughty speech with the puppy dog face, isn’t it Miss Jodi?
Delilah is doing a very good job of looking guilty!
LOL! Delilah has the same look on her face that Leroy gets when he ate something he shouldn’t of have! I guess in Delilah’s defense I have to say that at least she ate something edible this time!
Oh yikes! I guess I should be happy mine are just foraging for stuffs to eat in the yard. I would say that qualifies as some major mischief. 🙂
PS Thunder is joining Sampson on the DL and with a cast too boot. Nothing serious. Injury to the ligaments in his wrist. I will blog on it eventually. Three hunting dogs and not a dog for this hunting season!
PS for some reason I did not get this post or yesterday’s post to my email? Do you still show me as subscribed?
That would depend on what your e-mail address is? LOL
You would know it is me. 🙂 If I don’t see Tuesday’s post I will resubscribe.
Oh No! Poor Thunder. A cast and everything!! Did they think it was from his water entries?
I take it Miss Storm is expecting? 😉
Oh the stuff in the yard….that dog was a cow or horse in another life, she is constantly grazing….LOL
Still not sure about Storm. She is a bit fatter, but doesn’t really look pregnant to me. The breeder says it will still be a bit before she shows, but she is day 40, so…
Maybe dh will have one dog after all…lol.
Hehehe – I bet the soft poop was worth it since I am sure the Nut Chips were so very delicious. Forbidden food – always better than regular food!
So far Blueberry has been very good and she hasn’t destroyed much of anything. Although sometimes she will steal my toilet paper if I leave it within her reach, but only if I leave for work. Which means it can’t be kept on the regular roll thingy.
Awwwwwe….she looks like she is sorry! She is precious!
Hi Y’all!
BOL!!! I never was destructive and besides, when I was young and still in my hard chew stage I was in my crate if no one could watch me. Eventually I outgrew that though. Now I leave stuff alone, so while I still use my crate, it is my choice.
Y’all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
The team of Agatha and Christie were the destructo twins: 2 couches, a collection of expensive, hardcover cookbooks, the pockets of every jacket I owned, kitchen table legs, the vinyl kitchen floor, etc. etc. etc.
But the worst was when Christie ate a lipstick. I thought she had internal bleeding until I saw the chewed up lipstick case under my bed. Let’s just say lipstick makes poop look considerably worse than nut chips.
Sneaky Delilah!
Silas is, mercifully, not destructive of things in the house. Although a lot of that is management–we learned his predilections early on. The bathroom rug is so delicious that we have to keep it behind the baby gate. The throw pillows only go on the sofa under direct supervision. Etc.
Well, Doggy has eaten a 2lbs bag of gummy bears, I thought he was going to get really sick, and to be honest other than the hyperactivity of that day nothing changed, he has an iron stomach.
LOL what a great shot of Shamed Delilah, too funny. I came home yesterday to find a foam tub scrubber on a stick murdered on the living room rug. Hubby couldn’t believe they had done it in seconds since he had just walked out of the living room and apparently someone grabbed it while he was looking under the sink for something else. Neither girl admitted who did it. Stinkers.
Moree once ate a box of decorative soaps- a box that had belonged to my husband’s grandmother and never been opened. He also once ate about half of a giant Hershey’s Kiss (that one had us freaked, but he was fine), and we lost him after he ate about 1/3 of a bath towel (which I’m still not certain how he got).
Smokey once ate a hardbound book belonging to a friend.
Junebug was probably the worst, though. There was a reason we called her “The Destroyer of all Bedding”- she didn’t eat it but did put holes in everything. Of course, the funniest story (now) is the day she chewed C’s glasses. While we were at the Doctor’s getting him a new Rx and ordering new glasses, she destroyed his cell phone- which he had left in the same place the glasses had been.
🙂 I talk to my dogs all the time too…sometimes entire conversations!
OMG – 60 miles to the Trader Joe’s? Next time I start to b**ch to myself about having to walk 8 blocks north and 1 avenue east, I will think of your 60 mile trek and be grateful!!!!
I love that Delilah switched up and decided to wreak havoc in your bedroom for a change. I guess we all, 2 and 4 legged, need a change of pace and venue every now and then. And the fact that she manages to get the nut thins out of your bag …. she’s a girl after my own (and my Mazzie’s) heart.
Oh Delilah you never disappoint me 🙂 What was a girl to do when mom clearly left those for you to sample 😉
So funny you would ask…well yes I do have a Miss Destructo right now and her name is Maia. Let’s see so far this week she has chewed up a twenty dollar bill, I was able to recover 3/4 of it so the bank gave me a new one (could have kicked myself for not taking pictures to do a post), a toothbrush, no idea where she found it, de-stuffing a pillow bit by bit, chewed up tissue and the list goes on 🙂
