Delilah feels secure looking through bars
Delilah is my son's dog. We keep a cage in the living room for her.
She likes having a place she can retreat. Maybe she' will take a nap.
The door to the cage is always open. She can come and go as she pleases. There is a nice dog bed inside. She is nice and comfortable.
But sometimes she likes to nap on the rug. After playing with some of her toys she will go over to the drunken leprechaun who sleeps under the television. She nudges it with her nose to move it ever so slightly. Then she goes over to her cage for a nap.
She also likes to lie on the carpet in front of the cage and look around. But first she pulls the door of the cage open. Then she lounges and peeks through the bars of the cage door.
She looks for all the world like she is peering through bars in a jail. My son laughs and calls her a jailbird.
thecontemplativecat here. what a precious dog. How old is she? my daughter has a dog, Lucy. She likes to do the exact same things, altho she doesn't like being in her cage.
ReplyDeleteI think she is about 5. It seems as if she has always been here. Some dogs like to feel cocooned while others are threatened.
DeleteAnimals are endlessly entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThat they are.
DeleteSuch a heartwarming beautiful story dear Emma 🥰

Hugs and best wishes to you and yours my friend ♥️
The same for you. You are a good online friend.
DeleteDelilah obviously feels very comfortable and knows she is not forced to go inside the cage, but that it's a place of solitude for her.
ReplyDeleteEach of us has a special place in the living room. The cage is hers.
