Lilly 02-245

Profile

Lilly is thirteen months old. She is from the puppy mill group we got on Saturday night. She is a medium to light colored golden with the most gorgeous face, nice black nose, typical brown eyes and the most amazing facial expressions. She is smaller and skinny at this time. I will find out her exact weight once we visit the vet, but even after gaining the weight she needs, she will be a smaller golden.

Everything Lilly encounters is new to her. She has mastered stairs into the house, linoleum, carpeting, wood floors. She is learning about the television and is fascinated by it still. She is quite shy and is reluctant to approach people. She has already been on a walk and met several people of all ages, she adapted immediately to her gentle leader, but was shy around the people. She has had a bath and did well, a couple more bathes are in her near future. She will only eat and drink in her crate so far, but she is a good eater. I know she is not potty trained, but so far she has done her business outside however, she has either been crated or tethered or watched very carefully so far. She gets along fine with both of my dogs and ignores the nasty, hissing cat.

Our sweet little Lily passed away suddenly on June 2, 2011. Prior to passing she was able to spend the Memorial Day weekend doing all the things that she loved - running, swimming, chasing rabbits, and snuggling up with Mom, Dad and her sister Jo. Lily was a puppy mill dog from Missouri. She was a shy, skinny little thing when we first adopted her. With the help of her older sister Jo, also from a puppy mill, she quickly learned to trust us, and feel comfortable at home. Before long Lily's personality began to bloom. She loved to romp, and play and steal hats and mittens - anything to get attention, which we lavished upon her.

She filled our lives with so much love and joy, and she is dearly missed. We may have helped save her from the puppy mill, but we are the ones who benefitted the most from this deal. Thank you to Cheryl, Lily's foster Mom, for sharing her with us.

Thanks for trusting us with the sweetest dogs in the world,

Diane K. and Kurt B.
