Delta Dog Days

 We have had Delta for almost a month.  As sweet as she has been, she is mischevous.   When we left her alone the first time to go to church, I made sure all the gates were locked, the pantry now had 2 heavy child-proof locks and I put a chair in front of it just to be sure.  Came home and she was on the other side of the gate in the hallway.  She had used the chair to jump on, and over the gate.  No damage anywhere and it was my fault about the chair.  Outside she has dug in the yard, trampled my flowers (taken over the yard), jumped from the pool deck through the rails and loves to howl at squirrels.  Can't jump that 6 foot fence though!!  

Left her with friends, 3 gates and a crate for Labor Day weekend and other than escaping a gate once (not shut all the way) she was very good.  Does not like the car. 

She has escaped the yard only once.  We were cleaning up after a storm and it was nearly dark, I came in the house and she wanted out.  I checked with the person I live with (Otto) and he said it was ok to let her run.   I was fixing dinner and happened to look out the front door.  Saw my neighbor running through the yard and thought "oh no her dog got out".  Next look, she was running the other way and was chasing MY DOG!!  Someone left the side garage door open.  They got her back safely.  Still not chipped or fixed but she has a big tag on her collar.  Boy can she run!  It still is what it is!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  😳  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
