Well, hello there!

My name is Dela, and I'm pleased to meet you!

I came to live with Edie and Denny under some rather unhappy circumstances. You know how usually you hear about pets going to the bridge before their owner? Well, as it turns out, my owner went to the bridge before me. She's waiting there for me, and I'll meet her when the time comes, but for now, I'm going to make Barb and Bar happy, while trying to teach some manners to Edie and Denny.

 

Here's my mom who is at the bridge. Isn't she lovely? Doesn't look a day over 10 in dog years, does she?!

 

Here's a good shot of me teaching Edie and Denny a thing or two about humans. They're doing very well with simple exercises like this.

 

This is called "Stare at a human intently until they give you what you want."

 

Here we are putting the lessons to work. Notice the little extra lift of the paw from Edie? She's actually a natural. It's Denny that really needs these lessons.
