Treats for Della

I had ordered a new outfit for Della that arrived last week but today was the first occasion she had to wear it. Usually when I put anything on her it means we are going someplace so she went immediately to the van and wanted to get in. But the reason for this dress up occasion was a visit from our neighbors, not an outing. They came and brought dog cookies. They looked really good, lots of frosting and everything. She was very happy and appreciative. 

We had a pretty good thunderstorm last night and Della climbed into bed and laid down between us. She hasn't generally been overly concerned about storms but we were getting some pretty intense thunder and lightning at the time. After the storm finally passed, I got up and she did too and returned to her bed. The rule around here now is that Della gets anything she wants. But come to think of it, that has always been the case, pretty much since the day she arrived.

The big cookies were too hard to break, but she took the whole thing and had no problem breaking it up.
