Delilah Mae

 

~Delilah Mae~

She always barked at the firecrackers 

and hated the sound of the running lawn mower.

She'd talk by imitating the sound of voices.

We'll miss her.

She died Wednesday evening, July 2, 2014.

Such a good natured pup.

Delilah Mae was born October 4, 2004.

She almost made it to be 10 years old.

She fooled the Vet when she told us, Delilah 

would have trouble getting pregnant and would 

have to have surgery.

She never had surgery and would have 18 

puppies fathered by our dog Sam.

He was hit by a truck and was a one nut wonder.

After her first litter of pups, 

I thought we had a little time before she'd have 

another spell 

(politely called being in heat) 

where females can get pregnant.

When she had what is called a split cycle, 

she got pregnant again without our permission.

Another Vet told us that dogs don't read the 

books.  Delilah could talk, but she couldn't read 

books and didn't bother to try.

The moral to all of this is….

You may think you have everything figured out,

but your plans are subject to change

because God has a say-so in it all.

We have had Airedales for 14 years.

Each one has a different personality.

Each one.

Kind of like children.

No matter how many you have, 

each one is different.

Good-night Delilah.

You were a great pup and we will miss you.

Very much.
