<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On Mother's Day we got our newest addition to the
house with a 4 month old female that was advertised in our local paper. We
named her Lilly (her name was Betsy) and she knew it by Sunday evening. If
you saw her you would think she has a sad rescue. Her ribs stick out in
fact every bone in her little body is prominent. How this family claimed
to love her is beyond me. When we went to pick her up, they had her tied
to a short chain in the front of their house with her bed on the porch.
The daughter came to the front door and told me to take her bed with her and
went back in the house. That was it...no goodbyes...good luck...no
anything. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>She is so shy and afraid of people. I must
socialize her as much as I can to get her over it. She is fine with other
dogs and since we kinda live in "dog heaven" here she should be fine. Two
of my sons live on adjoining properties and when we have all our dogs out
playing near the creek there are 6 of them and Lilly loves them all. I
took her to the vet yesterday morning....made the appointment before I had her,
and he said aside from being so thin, she appears to be fine and just give her
an extra portion at lunchtime until we get some weight on her. I did put
her back on puppy chow as opposed to what she was being fed.....Alpo mixed grill
for adult dogs. I put her in a crate on Sunday night to sleep and she was
fine...she loves it. That's a good thing because she is not housetrained
at all.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lucy, who was spayed on Wednesday, plays with her
and I think as time goes on they will become "sisters". Daisy, our lab
tolerates her but that's is Daisy. She is a "people dog" and really
doesn't play with other dogs.....just plays fetch constantly. The cats are
fine and she is really not bad with them either......sniffs but hasn't chased
them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are sending drool to Elwoods family to help them
with their sadness.</FONT></DIV>
