Spring Fever

March 11, 2013 By Jodi

Delilah has spring fever.

That’s the only explanation I have.  If I went back through my posts I’m sure I’d discover that last year and the year before at this time, Delilah was getting into mischief.

Technically it’s not like she contains her mischief only to the spring, but it just seems, she’s more active at this time of year.

Our walks normally run about half an hour during the week, and I try to increase them to over 45 minutes on the weekends or on a day off.

Last Wednesday I came home on my lunch and took the dogs for a half hour walk in the woods.  I gave them each a treat and left them to sleep on the couch until I returned home shortly after 5:00 PM.

It worked in my head.

Once I walked in the door however, I immediately noticed that all had not gone according to plan.

IMG_4251 I KNOW I didn’t leave that door open or that trash on the floor.

IMG_4249 Nor did I shred a Pop Corners bag and leave it on the living room floor.

I looked at my dogs.

IMG_3810 I ain’t no snitch, I didn’t see anything.

Delilah was surprisingly quiet, sitting off by herself and not interacting with me.

IMG_4252 Why do you always look to me?  Is it because I’m a rescue dog?

No Delilah, it’s because you’re a mischief-maker and this is the Monday Mischief blog hop, hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog and My Brown Newfies.

    Mom says we are like little kids, we know what we did wrong and by trying not to be obvious, we actually give ourselves up. Some bad dog activities at your house I guess!

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 1:46 pm

      LOL Emma, your mom is right, it is like having little kids!

    the “ain’t no snitch” photo is the BEST!

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 1:48 pm

      LOL thanks Caren!

    Haha she will never confess. Cute pictures and video. 🙂

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 1:48 pm

      Basically I think she already did. 🙂

    Come on now….tell the truth…It was the SQUIRRELS again!

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 1:49 pm

      You’re right Amber, it must have been the squirrels!

  6. Coralee says

    Wow, the garbage can certainly makes for some great doggie mischief! I love that the loyal sibling sees no evil! 🙂

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 2:01 pm

      yes, the garbage can is certainly enticing for a little mischief maker!!

  7. Jen@MyBrownNewfies says

    March 11, 2013 at 9:25 am

    LOL! Sampson is hilarious! I love that picture of him covering his eyes!

    Poor Delilah. I think she is constantly falsely accused. I’m sure there is a reasonable explanation, like some other dog broke in and did it:)))

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 2:02 pm

      Or course there’s a reasonable explanation, she was simply walking by and the door flew open and the contents came out. LOL

    Pawsome mischief. LOL that was some great shredding. Have a marvelous Monday.
    Best wishes Molly

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 2:09 pm

      It was a good shredding, I’ll give her that. 🙂

  9. Peggy Frezon says

    March 11, 2013 at 10:10 am

    Awww that rivals the famous Guilty Dog who ate the cat treats video! I’m sure she didn’t mean it! 🙂

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 2:10 pm

      Awe Peggy, your too kind. She meant it! LOL

  10. Animalcouriers says

    March 11, 2013 at 10:21 am

    That is a guilty look if ever we’ve seen one. Mind you, Samson’s look is even funnier 😀

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 2:10 pm

      LOL thanks!

  11. Roxy the traveling dog says

    Ooooo, busted! Spring does lead to more mischief.

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 2:10 pm

      Our Spring mischief was more snow. 🙁

  12. Sue @ The Golden Life says

    March 11, 2013 at 10:58 am

    Agree with Caren — the “ain’t no snitch” photo is the best!

    Maybe “spring fever” is what had Ducky so wound up the other night. I know it’s starting to effect Callie & Shadow — they’re wanting to spend more time out in the yard, and Callie is wanting to break free of the leash.

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 2:11 pm

      LOL Sue, he’s very cute. Yes, Ducky could have spring fever too, I hear it’s catchy.

  13. Kirsten says

    March 11, 2013 at 1:58 pm

    Well, paper shredding is a pretty innocuous way to spend your time, if you HAVE to get up to mischief!

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 2:11 pm

      I agree, it could have been far worse!

  14. Flea says

    March 11, 2013 at 2:30 pm

    Oh my dog. The dreaded middle name. She is SO busted.

    • Jodi Stone says

      March 11, 2013 at 10:07 pm

      Yup, you know when the middle name is used, it’s all over! LOL

  15. Oz the Terrier says

    March 11, 2013 at 3:10 pm

    Oh that is priceless! Love the photo of the covered eyes…”if I can’t see you, you can’t see me”.

  16. Kristine says

    March 11, 2013 at 3:12 pm

    Hahahaha! Sampson kills me. What a goof.

  17. Urban Hounds says

    March 11, 2013 at 4:19 pm

    I love the mischief shame face

    Ahh, but it’s mischief that doesn’t have a big impact. Good for you, Delilah.

  19. Georgia Little Pea says

    March 11, 2013 at 4:47 pm

    It’s been almost 3 years since I came home to anything shredded and I thank the cosmos for that! Sampson HAHAHA! 😀

  20. Genevieve says

    March 11, 2013 at 5:34 pm

    Sampson, you are a loyal brother!

    Love and licks,
    Cupcake

  21. Debbie says

    March 11, 2013 at 6:42 pm

    Love the photos! 😀 Of course, no doggie sibling will ever tell and none of the perpetrators confess either. LOL

  22. Wyatt Airedale says

    March 11, 2013 at 9:45 pm

    Haha…I don’t think I have ever seen so many guilty faces in one blog post before!

    Wyatt

  23. H and Flo says

    March 12, 2013 at 1:38 am

    Hahaha! Totally busted.

  24. Rosemary says

    March 12, 2013 at 2:05 pm

    LOLOLOLOLOL Delilah’s looking at you in the video like, I’m a good girl mommy, come rub my tummy and forget about that mess!

  25. Donna says

    March 12, 2013 at 8:12 pm

    Love it. I’ll just lay here and wag. Oh, or maybe I’ll go up on the sofa which is my doggie version of flipping you the bird.

    P.S. Meadow loves your voice and if it’s any consolation – SHE came to the computer when you called to see what was up. 🙂

    Who let that naughty “someotherdog” in the house again? He’s such a trouble maker
