Default An update on Lily!!

Thank you all so much for your prayers and donations to help little Lily. You just can't know how much we appreciate you all. The following is an update [which I posted on MillBusters too] and we will continue to update occasionally. This is one tough, determined little girl!!


On a happy note our little Lily has an update! Indeed she does have problems and, in spite of them, is the sweetest, smartest little girl. There were those who were interested in adopting her when she was first rescued. Our rescue is a little different than some, in that our focus is the physical and emotional healing and then concentrate on the "forever home". If the dog is intact they are spayed/neutered and since our vet felt it safe to spay her after she gained some weight [her only problem when she came in appeared to only be starvation]. She gained beautifully, went in for her spay and her heart stopped and she had to be revived 3 times. We just couldn't let her go, she had been through so much and just learned to trust those who loved her. What a scare .... fast forward .... those that were interested in adopting her no longer wanted one with "problems". Trish nursed/loved her back and then we learned about the liver problems and possible neuro problems. Patrick & I decided that since she would be "unadoptable" that we would adopt her and she would join our Toto on her little "Yorkie Throne"!! We would love her and do whatever it took for her to have a healthy, happy life. Out of the clear blue ... an angel couple who were not deterred by the medical problems, nor the expense, wanted her and there was not a more perfect prospective life for Lily! Isn't that amazing ... there are good, caring people out there! They were told everything in advance [we don't withhold anything and they are more than able to handle expenses that could be ahead] ... so Lily, her medical records and all her stuff are all settled in her forever home and her new Mom & Dad just adore her. So long as she is coming along so nicely, the medical issues will be approached slowly ... they feel, as we do, that she has been through enough to this point and it is better, for her, to take it one day at the time!!

Sorry this is so long .... the investigation of the horrible place she came from goes on, hopefully with successful results .... and Lily is doing great and oh how she is loved ...

Trish spoke with her new parents yesterday and she is doing great and evidently has decided that she rules her new home!! But, isn't that what Yorkies do???
