Eskie Rescuers United

Hi, my name is Delilah, and I'm a pretty happy girl, as you can see from my pictures.  They say I am a pure bred miniature American Eskimo - I weigh only 13 pounds - but I so prefer being called dainty or petite.  In addition to being small and beautiful, I am about 6 years old, house-trained, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines and preventative medications.

My parents tell me I am a wonderful girl and they love me so very much.  I am quite social and want to be everyone's constant companion.  I like to to be where my family is hanging out, especially when they are in my favorite room in the house......the kitchen!  (I'm especially good at floor cleanup duty :)   

But sometimes I can be a little possessive....okay, maybe even a little jealous.  When my mommy and daddy are sitting next to each other on the sofa, I sometimes try to jump in between them, and demand their attention and affections.  After all, I am their little Princess Diva!  I am lovable and affectionate, and I just ADORE attention!  I also love treats, and cuddles, and belly rubs, car rides, and all my toys (and sometimes the baby's toys too, hehe), and I especially love to toss and shake and try to kill those toys with the squeakers in them.  And did I mention I REALLY love attention?

I know, I sound too good to be true......but I'm told I do have a few issues (they are forcing me admit these, because everyone knows a Princess Diva has no flaws).  I probably shouldn't act like this, but I can't help it - I love my home and my family, and I want to protect it and them.  So I am very territorial, especially when the doorbell rings or strangers come into my house, and I bark (and bark)......and well, sometimes I get a little too anxious and excited, and I nip at the intruder's ankles.  I get a time out and a serious talking to after I do this.  Mommy and Daddy are so afraid that when I go into my protective mode, I might one day accidentally nip my baby brother's face instead of the ankle of an adult, and then I would be taken away somewhere not very nice.  They are so very sad, but they want me in a safe environment where I won't accidentally hurt anyone, and they know their house is no longer that.  I love other dogs, kids and adults, but I need to be in a quieter home with just adults, or adults with older children.  Small children make me nervous.  It's probably also best that I be in a home with people who are Eskie savvy, and who will understand and love all my breed's (and my) quirky traits.

I've also been told by my doctor that I have mild epilepsy.  I've had it for several years and I have an average of one seizure a month that lasts between 5-15 minutes.  Afterwards, I am perfectly fine.  My doctor calls them idiopathic......that means "of unknown cause".  I am not on any medication since the frequency and severity of my seizures are considered too mild.

Mommy and Daddy think that both my anxiety and seizures are both stress-related (hey....it's VERY stressful being a perfect Princess Diva!).  I love my home and my family, but I have to admit, a home with three small children is neither quiet nor stress-free.  They believe that in a quieter home, maybe one with a big fenced in back yard where I can run and play, or in a home where I can get lots of regular walks and exercise, will alleviate most of my issues and help make me a more relaxed girl.

I sure hope you'd like to meet me, and if you're looking for a loving and cuddly lap dog, that would be me......Delilah, The Princess Diva!
