Yesterday was my last day of vacation and I had the hardest time getting up off the couch and finding my motivation.
It didn’t help that Delilah got me up at 6:20 am and it was pouring out. I wasn’t up to walking the dogs in the rain so we decided to wait it out and see what happened.
The rain finally stopped and the sun came out with all the humidity. 🙁 I managed to drag myself to the grocery store and as soon as the groceries were put away, I found myself back on the couch.
Around 5:30 I finally decided it was now or never so I prepped the dogs and myself for a walk.
I’ve been working with Delilah going in and out of the house without her leash. It is a lot of trust on my part, because one time she darted across the street to confront out neighbor….in HIS yard. Yeah, that was embarrassing.
When she is excited for her walk it is a good chance to test her and have her succeed. I usually check to make sure there are no cars coming and no-one walking down the street. I open the door and say, “Go to the car.” She has been doing very well at this.
Yesterday I checked as usual and opened the door. Sampson made his way down the steps and over to the car. Delilah took off, straight across the lawn! I was caught off guard and could not see what she was heading for until…
I saw it leap about two feet off the ground.
She darn near almost caught it too!
If it hadn’t ducked into its hole in the ground.
Sooner or later she is bound to catch one. Which brings me to a most important question.
What happens if Delilah eats a chipmunk? Can it hurt her?
