Description: hi,
i thought you might want to see a photo of her. we named her Delila, which is portuguese for dehlila ( if i spelled that right in english), from the bible story of samson and dehlila. this is my youngest son Brandon and her.

Lila is doing better, but is still almost always scared, unless she is in you lap. Last night she ate a lot of food, including bugs while she was outside at night. It was a lot of fun watching the little hunter.


Thanks,
Jeff

Hi again,
Lila is doing better, she eats a lot more, but still not much. She is still timid, but not as much. We came up missing from the backyard a few weeks ago. We figured she got under the fence (there is some places in the very back that the fence doesn't touch the ground). We searched and searched for her. There is some dense woods behind our house. We thought she might be there. We put out "missing dog" signs through out the neighborhood. When it got dark out, we decided to leave the back gate open so me might come back on her own. Later that night she came back. The next day i attatched chicken wire to the bottom of all the high spots on our fence. we let her out again, and once again she disappeared. We have a pile of brush in our backyard (for bonfires) and I looked there again, but could not see her. I finally took a powerful spotlight and shined it deep inside the brush pile, and there she was! Just like a fox.
I filled in the holes, which were very small. The next day she hid there again, I don't know how she found a large enough hole to get in. I had to clear out brush just to get her out. Now she lies in a hole ( from a plant we removed) in a small flowerbed next to our house, which is alway in the shade. Maybe she thinks it is a den. I hope she gets over her shyness. She only likes to play late at night or early in the morning, but we really like her. We have never heard her bark yet. The only sound she has made is while yawning and once when the kids got a little rough she yelped. My neighbor said she has slightly barked at him when he was close to our fence.

See ya,
Jeff
