Why Delilah’s NOT Getting Coal in Her Stocking, Even Though She’s Mostly Naughty

December 23, 2014 By Jodi

Friday night I was having a conversation with one of my vets regarding Delilah’s liver levels.  Despite the seriousness of the conversation Dr. Atz and I had a good laugh.

I had said something along the lines of this dog eats anything…stuff in the road, things in the yard, any food that drops to the floor.  And Dr. Atz laughed and said, “So Delilah’s probably getting coal in her stocking this year?”  I laughed along with him and said, Delilah is definitely getting coal in her stocking.

Again?  You're talking about me again?  Don't you have other things to talk about?

Again? You’re talking about me again? Don’t you have other things to talk about?

Except she won’t.

I know, I know.  This is the same dog that ate the entire box of packing peanuts, the box of bisquick, baking chocolate, supplements, raisins, dog poop, a pound of corned beef, destroyed a can of Salmon oil, two Misto bottles and that’s where my memory fails me.

But if you look beyond that, she’s a very sweet, loving dog.  The way she mimics Sampson to get the attention she wants, the way she insists she’s a lap dog, despite the fact that she refuses to curl up on your lap, the way she shoves her head between your legs in order to feel safe, all of these sweet and loving things outweigh all the naughty, taxing, challenging behaviors.

Now what?  Bob made it look so easy.

How can you say I’m not a lap dog?  Look, I fit.

Besides, she’d probably eat the coal and who can afford THAT vet bill?

Tune in tomorrow for the 12 Days of Christmas Delilah style.

Have you been checking out the Advent posts over at Kol’s Notes?  

I’ve been dabbling with a little short story writing coinciding with the Advent promotion.  Perhaps you caught the “Buddy Biscuits to the Rescue” story?  

I also wrote a story to go with today’s sponsored post,   “Not a Creature Was Stirring, Unless You Count The Dragon.“

In the meantime,
