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.
Jane Parry says
Fantastic photos!!!!
Jodi Stone says
Thanks.
emma says
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!
Jodi Stone says
LOL Emma, your mom is right, it is like having little kids!
caren gittleman says
the “ain’t no snitch” photo is the BEST!
Jodi Stone says
LOL thanks Caren!
2 brown dawgs says
Haha she will never confess. Cute pictures and video. 🙂
Jodi Stone says
Basically I think she already did. 🙂
Amber DaWeenie says
Come on now….tell the truth…It was the SQUIRRELS again!
Jodi Stone says
You’re right Amber, it must have been the squirrels!
Coralee says
Wow, the garbage can certainly makes for some great doggie mischief! I love that the loyal sibling sees no evil! 🙂
Jodi Stone says
yes, the garbage can is certainly enticing for a little mischief maker!!
Jen@MyBrownNewfies says
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:)))
Jodi Stone says
Or course there’s a reasonable explanation, she was simply walking by and the door flew open and the contents came out. LOL
Molly The Wally says
Pawsome mischief. LOL that was some great shredding. Have a marvelous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
Jodi Stone says
It was a good shredding, I’ll give her that. 🙂
Peggy Frezon says
Awww that rivals the famous Guilty Dog who ate the cat treats video! I’m sure she didn’t mean it! 🙂
Jodi Stone says
Awe Peggy, your too kind. She meant it! LOL
Animalcouriers says
That is a guilty look if ever we’ve seen one. Mind you, Samson’s look is even funnier 😀
Jodi Stone says
LOL thanks!
Roxy the traveling dog says
Ooooo, busted! Spring does lead to more mischief.
Jodi Stone says
Our Spring mischief was more snow. 🙁
Sue @ The Golden Life says
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.
Jodi Stone says
LOL Sue, he’s very cute. Yes, Ducky could have spring fever too, I hear it’s catchy.
Kirsten says
Well, paper shredding is a pretty innocuous way to spend your time, if you HAVE to get up to mischief!
Jodi Stone says
I agree, it could have been far worse!
Flea says
Oh my dog. The dreaded middle name. She is SO busted.
Jodi Stone says
Yup, you know when the middle name is used, it’s all over! LOL
Oz the Terrier says
Oh that is priceless! Love the photo of the covered eyes…”if I can’t see you, you can’t see me”.
Kristine says
Hahahaha! Sampson kills me. What a goof.
Urban Hounds says
I love the mischief shame face

Pamela | Something Wagging This Way Comes says
Ahh, but it’s mischief that doesn’t have a big impact. Good for you, Delilah.
Georgia Little Pea says
It’s been almost 3 years since I came home to anything shredded and I thank the cosmos for that! Sampson HAHAHA! 😀
Genevieve says
Sampson, you are a loyal brother!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
Debbie says
Love the photos! 😀 Of course, no doggie sibling will ever tell and none of the perpetrators confess either. LOL
Wyatt Airedale says
Haha…I don’t think I have ever seen so many guilty faces in one blog post before!
Wyatt
H and Flo says
Hahaha! Totally busted.
Rosemary says
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!
Donna says
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. 🙂
Gizmo (@GizmoGeodog) says
Who let that naughty “someotherdog” in the house again? He’s such a trouble maker
