Delia’s Paw Print Tattoo
I finally did it! Getting a tattoo of Delia’s paw print has been a goal of mine since she joined our family. A few weeks ago a friend and I went to Self Inflicted Studio in St. Louis and the amazing Zack “Panda” Donahue imprinted my baby girl’s paw onto my wrist. He took the photocopy of Delia’s paw print and duplicated it amazingly. I got her print by placing her paw on an ink pad (I only had pink ink handy), then placing her inked paw on a piece of paper. I was shocked when I saw the print. Her metacarpal pad left an almost perfect heart shape. I knew THAT…

D is for Delia
is for…. Delia is my five year old Bichon Frise. She is a beautiful, funny, free-spirited little girl and I love her to bits. Let me share a few of my favorite qualities of hers: She’s an excellent rover reporter… She tolerates my shenanigans…costumes, lavender hair, dresses… She is a thorough and honest reviewer… She adores her Nannie (my Mom)… She is becoming a good big sister to her new brother, Chewy… She is my best friend and one of my greatest blessings.

52 Snapshots of Life Week 2: MUSIC
This week’s theme for the 52 Snapshots of Life photo challenge is: Music. Dancey Delia Delia and I have the same taste in music. I discovered this shortly after I adopted her. As we were driving home from work I noticed her “dancing” in the back seat. When she gets excited she moves her front feet up and down, then stands on her back legs and wiggles her bottom, which looks like she’s dancing. She’ll do this for treats, her ball, and some music. Heavy metal, punk, hard rock music plays…she dances. I thought at first that maybe it was too much stimulation and it was more of…

Delia’s First Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze Adventure
Delia went on her first pumpkin patch and corn maze adventure. She is always happy to go on adventures, but the fact that her young cousin was going along excited her even more. As we waited for the hay ride to the pumpkin patch, Delia checked out the scenery. This one is a little bit too big. We finally made it to the pumpkin patch. “There are are pumpkins as far as I can see, Mom.” “I know I saw my cousin run into this corn maze. Which way did he go?” “I found him!” Off they go…. Catching her breath on the tractor after her run through the corn…
