Delilah, the Dog of the Day
Name: Delilah
Age: Four and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Dalmatian Mix
Home: Port Saint Lucie, Florida, USA
 
   Delilah is four and a half years old, we got her from the local pound last May. She is a Dalmatian cross and lives up to the Dalmatian name of "Velcro dog!!!" she follows her pet humans everywhere. We just finished building her fence so she can have a back yard to play in. Though she loves living in Florida she is not a beach dog (the waves scare us). She has also earned her nickname Deli dog (when food is around she does not leave my side) wishing someday she can have her own deli. We have already decided we would call it "the Deli Dog Nosh!"

    Her favorite pastime is bunny chasing and bird watching. When she gets a bunny's scent she is nose to ground until she finds her prize. I would not let her hurt a bunny but I guess that sniffing out is natures' sport! I am not sure what she would do if she caught one, either, but she enjoys trying. She must have some kind of hound in her, too - when she sees a bird she stops and points. She has finally learned, though, to respect her older (and wiser) sibling, Ms. Puss, a seven-year-old calico kitty.

    I had my last dog, Scrubber, for nineteen years and it took a long time to get over losing him, but Deli has managed to win her way into our hearts. We love Delilah dearly, and encourage everyone who wants and is ready to care for a pet to please go to their local shelter and adopt. Save a life! Deli had been there for 3 1/2 months when we found her, and she did not have much time left. I now cannot imagine a day without her warm love and companionship!
