Janet and I just added a new member to our family. Her name is Lily. She’s a two year old cocker spaniel adopted from a local rescue. Lily has had a very tough life so far, but she’s going to get nothing but love and attention from now on. She has survived life in a puppy mill as a breeder and then was dumped into the woods by the owner when they received word that an inspection was coming. Only a few dogs survived, Lily was one of the lucky ones. A nice lady named Marlene fostered Lily and nursed her back to health. Right now she is still in shock from the horrors she has endured, so she is very shy around people.
Since mostly men ran the puppy mill she’s especially timid and cautious around them. Jan has been working to socialize her and it’s been good so far. I sneaked a photo of her and Odie on the couch but I’m still being very quiet and not making any sudden moves around her. We’re about to take both dogs on a walk in a few minutes. I’m looking forward to helping her feel at home.
Thanks Lorenzo for making this important announcement. Lily is mostly black w/some grey highlights. Once she is not so shy with us we’ll be able to take photos w/better lighting. Today is our first full day with her. The rescue’s vet guesstimated she’s between 2-4. Now our family is complete. 🙂
Congratulations on the new addition! Hope the kitties (especially Zen) are doing well. Lily looks adorable and it looks like she and Odie are well on the way to becoming best buddies! Enjoy having her in your life.
