Heart Like a Dog

The Good, the Bad, and the Oh My God of living with dogs!

Spring Fever

By

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.

Monday Mischief – 3-5-13

By

We’ve had some nice days this past week.  Days warm enough to melt a LOT of the snow we had on the ground.

Snow Of course some areas don’t get as much sun than others.

Some Snow Some get a little bit.

No snow Some get a lot.

water And then some get flooded.

It makes for a lot of mischief on a walk. 🙂 Which makes for the Monday Mischief Blog hop, hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Blog and My Brown Newfies.

Delilah-2, Misto Can-0

By

Delilah loves oil.

I don’t know why.  Maybe she was a masseuse in her previous life or maybe she scrounged for food at McDonald’s, all I know is she LOVES oil

She’s not discriminating either, she loves all oil.

In this house you cannot put a pot of water with oil for pasta on the stove, because she WILL drink it.

And her love of it is well documented.

Salmon Oil

This was the Salmon oil she stole off the counter and carried into the living room, where she destroyed the can.  On a hot and humid day if I don’t have the air conditioner on, my rug still smells like fish.

Thank you Delilah.

Two years ago for Christmas my youngest daughter sent me some homemade bath scrub.  It was made with sugar and oil.  It’s almost impossible to use, because Delilah loves it so.

Yes, I caught her antics on tape.

(I’m sorry, for some reason I could not get the youtube video to load in the blog, you’ll have to click the link.  Please remember this is a video and you can’t actually help her.  It’s always my instinct to help her as she is so determined.) 🙂

Yesterday I ran out for a couple of hours and forgot to put my Misto can away.

Hubby found it in the living room when he got home.

IMG_4185 It’s her second one.

Delilah – 2, Misto Can – 0
