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.
I KNOW I didn’t leave that door open or that trash on the floor.
Nor did I shred a Pop Corners bag and leave it on the living room floor.
I looked at my dogs.
I ain’t no snitch, I didn’t see anything.
Delilah was surprisingly quiet, sitting off by herself and not interacting with me.
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.

Fantastic photos!!!!
Thanks.
Mom says we are like little kids, we know what we did wrong and by trying not to be obvious, we actually give ourselves up. Some bad dog activities at your house I guess!
LOL Emma, your mom is right, it is like having little kids!
the “ain’t no snitch” photo is the BEST!
LOL thanks Caren!
Haha she will never confess. Cute pictures and video. 🙂
Basically I think she already did. 🙂
Come on now….tell the truth…It was the SQUIRRELS again!
You’re right Amber, it must have been the squirrels!
Wow, the garbage can certainly makes for some great doggie mischief! I love that the loyal sibling sees no evil! 🙂
yes, the garbage can is certainly enticing for a little mischief maker!!
LOL! Sampson is hilarious! I love that picture of him covering his eyes!
Poor Delilah. I think she is constantly falsely accused. I’m sure there is a reasonable explanation, like some other dog broke in and did it:)))
Or course there’s a reasonable explanation, she was simply walking by and the door flew open and the contents came out. LOL
Pawsome mischief. LOL that was some great shredding. Have a marvelous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
It was a good shredding, I’ll give her that. 🙂
Awww that rivals the famous Guilty Dog who ate the cat treats video! I’m sure she didn’t mean it! 🙂
Awe Peggy, your too kind. She meant it! LOL
That is a guilty look if ever we’ve seen one. Mind you, Samson’s look is even funnier 😀
LOL thanks!
Ooooo, busted! Spring does lead to more mischief.
Our Spring mischief was more snow. 🙁
Agree with Caren — the “ain’t no snitch” photo is the best!
Maybe “spring fever” is what had Ducky so wound up the other night. I know it’s starting to effect Callie & Shadow — they’re wanting to spend more time out in the yard, and Callie is wanting to break free of the leash.
LOL Sue, he’s very cute. Yes, Ducky could have spring fever too, I hear it’s catchy.
Well, paper shredding is a pretty innocuous way to spend your time, if you HAVE to get up to mischief!
I agree, it could have been far worse!
Oh my dog. The dreaded middle name. She is SO busted.
Yup, you know when the middle name is used, it’s all over! LOL
Oh that is priceless! Love the photo of the covered eyes…”if I can’t see you, you can’t see me”.
Hahahaha! Sampson kills me. What a goof.
I love the mischief shame face
urban hounds
Ahh, but it’s mischief that doesn’t have a big impact. Good for you, Delilah.
It’s been almost 3 years since I came home to anything shredded and I thank the cosmos for that! Sampson HAHAHA! 😀
Sampson, you are a loyal brother!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Love the photos! 😀 Of course, no doggie sibling will ever tell and none of the perpetrators confess either. LOL
Haha…I don’t think I have ever seen so many guilty faces in one blog post before!
Wyatt
Hahaha! Totally busted.
LOLOLOLOLOL Delilah’s looking at you in the video like, I’m a good girl mommy, come rub my tummy and forget about that mess!
Love it. I’ll just lay here and wag. Oh, or maybe I’ll go up on the sofa which is my doggie version of flipping you the bird.
P.S. Meadow loves your voice and if it’s any consolation – SHE came to the computer when you called to see what was up. 🙂
Who let that naughty “someotherdog” in the house again? He’s such a trouble maker
