DELILAH NOV. 4 1995-APRIL 12, 2005
Delilah (also known affectionately as Lupita Maria,
Poopsie, Slappy D, Chili Amar and Isabella Rosellini),
was born in Nov. 1994 and adopted by Mei-Ling in 1995
and the next year helped unite her mother with
dog-sitter who would become her father, her beloved
Monte. She was a dog of the world, living in Michigan,
in St. Louis, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C. and,
finally, Buenos Aires.
She will be remembered for her
love of squirrels and McDonalds french fries and her
unique mannerisms (including the demurely crossed
front paws, the jowl-shake, her ability to do
360-degree jump-twists, the blissful half-moon posture
she adopted when her family came home and her ear
nibbles). She was a faithful running companion, a warm
presence at the foot of the bed and an indispensable
part of the family. ‘Lilah charmed everyone she met
(except mail carriers) with her soft face and calm
demeanor. The house now seems quiet without her
clacking toenails and her snuffling snore at night,
but her spirit lives on in our hearts.
She was 10.5 years old.
We love you Lilah!
