If thwarting were an Olympic sport, this dog…
This dog would be a Gold Medalist.
Gold Medal? That’s a flour right? You can eat flour, right?
I’m not sure if it’s intentional or not, but this dog manages to get in my way more times a day then I can count.
Certain times are worse than others.
When I’m in a hurry.
- I walk in the door with a couple of bags full of groceries and am rushing to the kitchen to put them away because they’re heavy.
She’s running right in front of me, trying to beat me into the kitchen.
- I walk in from work and have to pee.
I say a quick hello and rush towards the bathroom with Delilah hot on my heels. I try and get my pants undone and Delilah shoves her head between my legs.
Do you know how hard it is to try and pull your pants down with a dog’s head between your legs?
The other time she’s spot on her game is when food is involved.
- It is close to meal or snack time and I get up to do something.
She is right behind me, prancing along, or she stops and waits, standing right where I need to go.
- When I’m preparing food in the kitchen.
I wouldn’t mind so much if she’d stay in one spot. But no matter how many times I say, “Delilah get out of the kitchen” or “Sit right there” she gets up and comes right back. I can’t tell you how many times a day I say, “Stop licking the floor!”
Last week I found myself saying, “That’s your face I’m TRIPPING on.”
You can’t make this shit up.
Our kitchen is an open kitchen so there’s no way to shut her out of it. Which means you just have to stay on top of it, but man this dog is persistent, and the minute you turn your back, she goes for the gold.
Yup, if thwarting were an Olympic Sport, I’d have a Gold Medalist on my hands.
Tell me what sport you’d add to the Olympics that your pet would medal in.
Parents are so close minded, D. If there were an Olympic medal for floor-licking, we’d be in a tie for the gold! Practice makes perfect…..
Love and licks,

My sisters and I don’t get in the way much, but we are always hearing “damn cat” about Bert. He is always in Mom’s face, under her feet, getting stepped on. He is the problem around here.
Haha I can relate to the dogs being in the way when I am trying to bring groceries in.
Let’s see…with Ducky it would be the Gold in dirt (and other yard trash) eating! Callie would get the Gold in sprinting from the napping position. I’ve never seen a dog move sooo fast from the napping position when something exciting catches her eye!! And Shadow would tie with Delilah in being constantly in the way. 🙂
I am laughing because the toilet issue you mention is one I often have with not one, but 2 dogs. They will try and get on my lap once I am able to sit!
Mity can count, if guests come round he does a quick count up and then claims his spot on the settee – it’s very funny!
I think Sam may be good(?) competition for the D-Dog in the under foot category. He either stands in front of me where I need to go or sneaks up all Ninja style behind me and then I trip over him. That dog is gonna put me in the hospital yet!
That is such an angelic face. It is hard to believe that there is a single behavior problem.
Oh–Humping, no doubt! Isn’t that already an Olympic sport?
Oh boy do I know what you mean! hahaha
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Haha! I can relate to a lot of these! Haley would hold the Olympic record for manipulating me into giving her the longest morning belly rubs! Wait, that should be my medal then, right? 🙂
Jodi, Our girls would have the Gold in KISSING. No matter what you are doing and where you are doing it they have to be kissing you. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY !!!!!!!!
you cracked me up with Gold medal is a type of flour! lol
Hi Y’all!
That open kitchen thing, that’s why my Human taught me “move”. Course she says “please MOVE”.
Y’all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
