My Jilly loved to look outside. The front of the house has floor length windows but in the back, the large den window was a long, rather high window and not floor length. Jilly would stand as near the window as possible and stand up on her hind feet, trying her best to somehow see out! She would get so frustrated that she could not see out into the back and dogs across the alley and all the goings on in the back. I felt so sorry for her. She was super tiny - only 3 lbs. grown and had had many medical problems due to being born a very small runt. I would do almost anything to please her and make her life a bit easier. I actually did not want a floor length window or anything like that in the back of the house but I did have the den window enlarged and lowered about a foot or so and double windows put in by a subcontractor - for Jilly.

Then I moved the den couch so that the back edged up against the window at just window-sill level so that whenever she wanted, I could open one or both of the windows and Jilly could lie there on her little round pillow and watch out the window all day long, taking in all of the sights, sounds and scents. She used a stack of pillows on the end of the couch to jump to the window sill. She was so thrilled with the window I named it "Jilly's Window" and the whole family always refer to that window as "Jilly's Window" to this day, even though she's been gone 8 years now.

Tibbe very much enjoys the use of "Jilly's Window" now himself.
