Delilah the Retriever and Oz the Terrier

By

All during the month of March  I’ve been following Marching Out the Limericks on Oz the Terrier’s Blog.

When Oz wrote, I still have a few more days available if you’re interested, I shot off an e-mail  with this silly fact about Delilah: she jumps backwards at dinner.

Last Friday Oz left me a comment and at the bottom he said, “P.S. Delilah’s limerick is “killing” me…this is the hardest rhyme-scheme yet. BOL Limericks will be going into April so hers will be coming, don’t you worry.”

I felt bad so I shot off an e-mail “I just saw your comment do you need more info? I can give you some more of her stellar qualities. LOL”

The response was yes, that might be helpful.

Well yesterday was Delilah’s day and in case you missed it on Oz’s blog:

Oz the Terrier

There once was Delilah the Retriever

who was such an over-achiever.

She runs fast like a flash

likes eating poop as well as trash

and if she tells you she’s a lap dog, believe her.

Isn’t the limerick perfect?  I think Oz really captured Delilah’s essence, what do you think?

I started thinking.  Oz (and his mom) spent so much time writing limericks about his blogville community, maybe it would be nice if someone made a limerick just for him.

So I gave it a shot.

Oz baby, this one’s for you. 😉

Let me tell you ’bout a little Cairn Terrier

Who started life behind a great barrier

He was rescued by his Maz

She renamed him Oz

And now his life couldn’t be merrier

Were you following Oz’s limericks?  Were you one of the lucky recipients?  How lame was my attempt?

Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket

If you saw our post yesterday you know we had an Easter “photo shoot” on Saturday.

Sampson has had camera’s stuck in his face since he was three weeks old, he’s very blase′ about it.

Delilah is by far the harder dog to get a photo of, she’s not particularly fond of ‘smiling’ for the camera, she’s constantly looking somewhere else and for some reason, I feel like I rarely get good shots of her.

So imagine my surprise when during our Easter photo shoot, I took eleven photos with only one blooper.

To be fair it wasn’t her fault.

There we were out on the deck, both dogs posed with the eggs looking great.  All of a sudden both dogs snapped their heads to their right, my left.  What the heck I thought that’s a great shot, I’ll title it, “Is that the Easter Bunny I see.”

It worked in my head.

Monday Mischief Does she look like a dinosaur here, or is it just me?

Sadly what works in my head doesn’t work when a deer walks through the neighbor’s yard and behind our fence.

To her credit, she did lay back down and stayed while I snuck up in the back to try to get a photo (I didn’t) but as soon as we gave her the release command she went up back to check things out for herself.

Do you plan photo shoots with your dogs?  Do they turn out the way you think they would?

This is the Monday Mischief Blog hop hosted by Alfie’s Blog, Snoopy’s Dog Blog and My Brown Newfies.
