The Lovely ~*Lily*~

Hi Donna,

Just a quick update on Lily (A Jezabelle Pup) - it can pretty much be summed up like this: she's the best puppy we could have ever asked for and we love her like crazy. She is so playful and incredibly smart; we even think she's started to learn her name. She bonded to us really fast, too (I think we should have named her Shadow, because that's what she is - a little shadow). She doesn't really like her crate (she won't usually go in on her own), but when we put her in there at night or for an hour or two during the day, she just whines for about 10 minutes and then settles down to eat or play with her toys. She is so funny when introduced to new things (empty water bottles, her hairbrush, fire hydrants), and she's definitely a crowd pleaser. We've taken her to Petco and to two assisted living/nursing home facilities, and everyone just goes crazy over her. And she's very receptive and friendly to strangers, which is great. Sam's parents come visit her during the day and she loves his whole family (and they love her!)

We knew we'd love having a puppy, but we had no idea how much we'd love her - you really made a perfect match. (I now need to start working on convincing everyone that she should have some four-legged company in the form of another Town and Country Schnoodle!) :-)

Thanks again for such a great little friend. Hope everyone in your family - canine and otherwise - is doing well.

Best wishes,

Erica
