A girl and her doggy

So this past Friday, we added to our family.  Her name is Delilah and she is a pit/lab mix.  More lab than pit.  She is 9 months old and so ridiculously laid back and gentle that I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Delaney (like with her own name) drops the DUH part of the name and just calls her Lilah...but she still answers and it's all good. 

So we brought her home on Friday and Delaney followed her around and trying to get her to do things that Delilah wasn't ready to do, as she was too busy sniffing around her new house.  But by that evening, she settled down and was a little more responsive to Delaney's requests.

Now Delilah has been living in a house where she was allowed on furniture and allowed to sleep in bed with the owner, however, this is not the case at our house.  When getting into bed that night Delilah thought she'd help herself to the foot of our bed.  I made her get down and sleep on her pillow.  She tried once more an hour later, and again I put her back down on her pillow, since then...she hasn't tried again and just curls up on her pillow.

How is she with a toddler you ask?  Well, Delaney can take toys out of her mouth and all she does is lick Delaney's arm.  When Delaney is eating a snack in front of her, she just sits and watches Delaney eat without bothering her.  Now don't get me wrong, the second Delaney offers it to her, she will eat it...but even then she takes it from her very gently.  She allows Delaney to lay on her and on her pillow. She has never tried to jump on Delaney either.  So far so good. 

We are enjoying her a lot.  My husband has always had a dog while growing up, and I can tell he missed having one.  She is a wonderful addition to our clan.

This is Delilah and she says hi!
