Sampson and Delilah basically took the summer off from daycare. They still had lots of interactions with other dogs, via our walks and our impromptu training classes, but they didn’t go to daycare and hang out with their buddies for nine hours a day.
Since they started daycare again last month there have been a couple of amusing stories.
There was the day Sampson disciplined a puppy rather harshly and needed a timeout. 🙁
That same day Delilah almost went over the counter when the pizza delivery person came; and I don’t think it was the pizza she was after. 🙁
Then Friday I got a call at work.
“Jodi? This is ‘N’ from the Mellow Mutt.” “Sampson is laying in a crate sleeping, which I think is normal, but Delilah is standing in front of the crate barking.” “Is she trying to tell me something?”
She then goes on to say, “I looked at him and he’s breathing, but I don’t know if Delilah is trying to tell me something is wrong; does she do this at home?”
My head was spinning and I was thinking no, she doesn’t do that at home because he doesn’t go in his crate at home, he prefers the couch. And why the hell am I paying money for the dogs to go to daycare if they are only going to be sleeping?
I had a customer on the line and said, “I’ll have to call you back.”
I hung up on her and handled the client, then called her right back.
“A funny thing happened after I hung up,” she said, “Sampson got out of the crate and Delilah went in, I brought him over and told him he could go in there too, so they’re both in the crate.”
That’s a true story, I swear. Delilah will bark or whine at Sampson when he has a toy she wants or if he has had some treat and she wants to clean up after him. One time she barked at him in the middle of the night because she wanted his spot on the bed. He got off the bed.
I’ve come to the conclusion, Delilah’s a Diva.
