Delilah's Page

Proud pet parent of:

Delilah, 2, a black Pit/Lab mix (West Suburban Humane Society Downers Grove, Il.)
Leonard 'Lenny' Skeonard, 3, a Chihauhau (rescued from a neglectful home)
Gabriella 'Gabby' Love Peach, 9, a black shorthair (Cat Guardians Lombard, Il.)
Amelia, 7 weeks, orange classic tabby (rescued before taken to be PTS)

How we met:

Delilah was picked from the 'line up' at 3 months old.
Lenny took about 6 months to accept us as his family.
Gabby was chosen (and named) by my daughter at age 3
Amelia was passed to me in a washcloth on a busy street

Pet likes:

Delilah LOVES dog parks, chasing birds and bunnies(hasnt done any of this for months because of knee), people, and learning new things
Lenny likes to bark, wrestle, play tug-o-war
Gabby likes to stay away from the dogs
Amelia loves Delilah! I think she has made D her mommy!

Pet dislikes:

I am so glad I can change her dislikes! Now, pretty much the only thing she dislikes is if Lenny walks near her bone. She's still learning it goes on the microwave if she growls.
Lenny dislikes having cage door closed.
Gabby dislikes that she is not the only pet.

Pet’s favorite spot:

Dog park, my bed, lap

Pet’s favorite toy:

DNA(she knows the name)--got it at Petco, it's a 3 colored rubber double helix and laser light
Lenny--squeakers
Gabby is too cool to play.
Amelia--laser light

Pet’s silliest habit:

Lenny snorts/hyperventilates when his Daddy comes home.

Pet’s sweetest moments:

Just watching her trust in me, the whole family, grow over these 2 years. Stop reading now if you get grossed out easily. Anyone whose dog has tried to poop out your hair and they run right to you because they know your going to pull the damn thing out. That's trust. That's love.

I crack up when my pet:

Jumps/twists in the air to try to bite bees. I was scared when she started it and I definately try to distract her. Unfortunately, this is something she's going to have to learn on her own.
Lenny--when I try to give him venison jerky he wont eat it, he rubs his neck on it just like he does with goose poop!

My pet is unique because:

What animal isn't unique? She's unique because she's Delilah, Delilah Jones, Deli, Lila, Didi, Double D...
Amelia is a female orange tabby.
