Baby Delilah

I haven’t really written anything about our first baby, our Dachshund-Corgi mixed eight month-old pup in a while. For the past two weeks Delilah had a playmate, his uncle Bear came to visit while his parents were on the east coast. She was such a good girl, and it proved that she is still a crazy, high energy baby girl versus Bear who is ten years her senior. We have been thinking about getting her a brother or sister to keep her occupied while we are away at work and yesterday when I came home from work it proved why she needs a friend! Since it’s been hellishly hot here we have been keeping her indoors and when I arrived home yesterday I found my new cooking light mag ripped to shreds, every single page was ripped out. It was really funny to me because she hasn’t done this since she was really young, and there were other books, mags under our coffee table that were more easily accessible versus this mag that was in the middle of the table. The highlight of all of this was that on Monday I lectured her and Bear about how they better use their pee pads or they would never be able to stay in the cooler house again by themselves (I know, like they understand me). Well, she did and I couldn’t have been happier! My little pup is growing up and misses her Uncle that has been gone since Tuesday. Now the search begins to find her a mate.

A few hours later she was completely dead to the world

I just want everyone to see her lovely ears that catch the attention of every person that she comes in contact with. Her nickname is Yoda, don’t be surprised if that’s her Halloween costume.

On a sidenote, Delilah is fully grown! She has sustained her 9.2 pounds for over three months now. She just had her first battle with fleas, which were gone two days later. She is digging ice cubes and loves her toffee flavored toothpaste. Such a big girl!
