Lilly - Adopted 8/15/02

Click for larger image

Lilly is a very beautiful 3 years old Flashy Sable Collie female with unique markings.  She is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations.

She is quiet, well-behaved, eager to please and snuggly. She is shy but after a little while she warms right up to you and follows you everywhere. Lily will probably not need a fenced yard once she gets used to her forever owner as she will just stick by their side.

Lilly is crate trained and house trained. She has spent most of her life indoors, going out only for potty breaks on a leash and to run at the dog park. Lilly can sit and lay down on command. Lilly is good with other dogs and cats.

She would not do well in a home with children or a lot of activity or noise.

Yesterday was one of the nicest days I have ever had!!!!

I hope I can find the words to adequately describe our day yesterday. We drove Lilly to her new home just off the lake. (Lake Michigan) and Golf course right down the road with a view you wouldn't believe, but the best is yet to come...

As we drove up the road here is this sign..."WELCOME LILLY" in front of the house. We turned into the driveway and this lovely wonderful lady was standing there waiting to welcome us and waiting for her Lilly to arrive home. And what a home our sweet Lilly has. She was welcomed with the most wonderful gifts, a large basket of gifts special for Lilly that Kathy's sons girlfriend made with a big pink stuffed bone, a Kong, and so many wonderful new things for Lilly, I couldn't believe it. Then next to the basket was this picture in a frame of flowers with the name ...LILLY...printed in the frame. A balloon to welcome Lilly and happy birthday decorations around the kitchen. Kathy had boiled chicken earlier for a special food treat. There was a bowl full of dry food and another full of fresh water. A crate in the laundry area big enough for me to sleep in, with soft blankets for Lilly to lie on, just incase Lilly felt scared at first. Lilly is very shy and reserved with strangers but after a few days with Ron and visiting at my house she was totally at home with us and like a Velcro pup to Ron, especially if she wanted safety. She also would bark if she saw anything unusual in or outside. So she will protect and guard. Lilly is a one-person dog and she now has quite a wonderful person to love her and for her to love.

Lilly will never want for anything but especially she will never want for love and attention. They now have each other and what a great match they are.

Kathy also said she was so happy with the pleasant experience it has been for her with MWCR. She said that it meant so much they way our rescue kept in contact, by phone, not leaving her waiting and wondering if she would get her collie very soon. To Andrea's credit I am sure, as she is who Kathy was talking with to get her Lilly from MWCR. Kathy also made a very generous donation to MWCR in addition to her adoption fee so I am very grateful to her for all she will give to Lilly and what she donated to MWCR. She truly is a very special lady and I know she and Lilly will be very happy.

Can't tell you how good this was for us to see. Thank you Andrea for giving Lilly to Kathy and Kathy to Lilly.

Hugs to all
Cheri

p.s. Kathy has been giving me Lilly updates as she calls them, almost every day and I can just hear the happiness in her voice in the last one. She calls Lilly her little Velcro collie. Her son calls her Lilly pad. She just loves her sweet Lilly. As soon as she sends me a picture I will send it to you.

Lilly was fostered in Deforest, WI.
