Lily Sunday

When we first got Lily, she was forbidden to enter any part of our house that had carpet.  Though she was 6 months old when we adopted her, we had no idea where she had been for the first part of her life and were unsure about her bathroom habits.  It turned out that she *sort of* understood where puppies were supposed to go, but for the first two months, she pretty much did whatever she wanted.  Therefore, she lived in the kitchen/dining room!  She would sit at this gate (that looks into the living room) and cry and whine until one of us would sit with her.  If this didn't work, she took to chewing on the corners of the walls or trying to eat the gate...she was very persistent.  When she wasn't doing those things, you could find her doing this...Lily loves a good nap.  Though I'm not sure why, with that huge bed, she chose to sleep with her head on the floor :)

Lily Sunday

Since I'm trying to stay on the "blogging train", I'm going to keep up with what I started a while ago.  I just adore our puppy Lily and she's so cute that I feel like she should be shared with all of you!  So here's to another Lily Sunday :)

This is my FAVORITE picture of Lily.  She was home for only a few days when we snapped this shot and it was so good, we put it on our Christmas card last year.  Lily has huge ears...not basset hound huge, but really huge for her size.  Not only are they big, but she can control them.  Normally they are just down, but she can lift them straight up, put one up and one down, or pull them straight back (see the last Lily Sunday for an example).  Everyone who has ever seen her comments on her crazy ears and I'm pretty sure she realizes that her ears can get her whatever she wants.  This picture makes me smile no matter how many mattresses she tears up *true story* or times she throws up *she has a sensitive stomach* all over our rugs.

LILY SUNDAYS

Here is little Lily on her first full day of living with us.  That day also happened to be my 27th birthday.  I'm not a big cake person, so if you look carefully, you can see my orange frosted sprinkled cookies (it was Halloween week) that held my bday candle.  Though she's bigger now, this is the essential "pwease give me your foods" look that Lily uses every day.  We were clapping to see if we could get her excited...she just wanted the cookie.  Her look didn't work that night, though she did get a few stray sprinkles!

Lily Sundays

My constant companion and best friend during the days while the Air Force owns my husband's life is my dog Lily. We've had her for almost 8 months and she's just a little over a year old. She loves getting her picture taken and she's pretty adorable, so for now, while I have a lack of interesting things to blog about, I'm going to start "Lily Sundays". Every Sunday I'll post one of Lily's finer appearances. I'll start back with the night we got her!


Little Lily was very doped up the day we brought her home. She had just been fixed that morning and was so silly that she was drooling everywhere and couldn't hold her own head up! She definitly was not acting like a normal puppy, but she managed a brave face for this one picture on October 26, 2009.

Also, Happy Anniversary to my amazing parents Glenn & Tracee!
