I’ve decided to let Delilah talk in her own voice–I thought she put her story in her own words better than I did. 
Hi, I’m Delilah!
I’m an unusual sort of mutt– I seem to have the sharpei wrinkles, boxer coloring and frame, and wiry fur of a terrier. You may have missed me because I’ve been recovering from a hurt paw at medical, and because I had to be thoroughly cleaned when I first came in-l was covered in tar (ugh!) and ticks (double ugh! that was one itchy time). But I’m all cleared, and I can now play and flirt with people (I LOVE people. I will do my best wiggle-butt dance every time you walk past me).
Here I am being a total lovebug!
I’ve been told that I’m an absolute sweetheart, that I’m so patient and kind to put up with folks who cleaned me, but honestly, I don’t mind. I get to look all pretty and it was such a relief to have someone taking care of me, rather than me taking care of myself (I don’t exactly do a good job of that– I’m still under a year old, so I’m technically still a puppy).
Besides, there were treats! I love treats almost as much as I love people (I’m still trying to get used to this thing called a biscuit. They’re so hard compared to hot dogs), and I’ve been told I do a beautiful ’sit.’ This should make me easy to train, but I’m also willing to learn– I’m so curious about this thing called a normal life that folks talk about, and I’m so ready for it.
I’m patiently waiting for a treat here.
This is what happens when my handler pays more attention to the camera than to me
