Lilly Update


Friday we had given Lilly her last round of antibiotics. The next day she started getting sick again. Mostly throwing up but she seemed to lose her motor skills and once again acting disoriented. Sunday she got worse so we had to call the vet to come in and took her to see him. She was pretty much lifeless the whole trip and in his office. But when he would talk to her she would always wag her tail at him and never got mad at him for all the poking and prodding he did. We found out that Lilly is blind in one eye and has some nerve damage to the side of her face she was hit on. After a long exam and blood test we still were not sure what was wrong but her sent us home with more meds. Can you imagine being hit by something hard enough to make you go blind,being dropped off in a place you have never been before?  She had to be so disoriented. Good news is today she is feeling much better. She even licked Lucy's face and acted like she waned to play with our other dogs.We are hoping once she is in good health again and knows no one is going to harm her she will have no dog aggression.
**********
A wonderful website and Boxer Rescue group has been so kind as to help us find a forever home for Lilly. She is up for adoption there but  will remain with us till she is well enough to have her spay and recovery time.http://boxarrescue.rescuegroups.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=4326651

Introducing...Tiger Lilly!


For lack of a better name and since she looks like a Tiger we are now calling our foster gal,Miss Tiger Lilly. We have to say Miss because she is truly a little lady. The dog that came to us just a little over a week ago is fastly turning into a beautiful girl with a very sweet loving personality. You just cant help but love and adore her when you see this sweet underbite for yourself ! Lilly was a pitiful mess when she appeared in our yard. She looked beaten and wore down,starving and scared to death of everything. Some of our neighbors reported they had seen her just days before with a log chain around her neck but thought she looked mean therefor they were scared to approach her to remove the chain. :(  We don't know what happened,how the chain got removed but she had no chain,no collar when she found her way to us.

She was starving, All of her ribs and back bone was showing. She was also in heat and we figure that had a lot to do with why she had some bites on her face & ears. At one time in her 2 years of life she has had part of her left ear torn off as you can see in the pictures as it tends to stand out more so than her other ear.
Lilly was very scared and shaken ,we took her to have her vetted right away. She is heart worm negiviteve ,thank goodness! She did very well as our vet examined her & gave her shots,never once growling at any of us but offering me sugars. She weighed 47 pounds last week,we know she has gained since then as she is looking much better. She has took a pretty hard hit at some time to the side of her head as her left eye had blood in the white area around her eye. She seems to have had some brain damage due to this hit to the side of her head. She was walking very slow and in circles quite a bit which could be from spending her life tied or chained up or the brain damage she suffered. She would also bump into things quite often as well. She had a few accidents the first day but none since then. She is no longer walking in circles and only once in the past few days have I seen her bump into things. She is no longer walking with her head down as she did at first. So in one weeks time she has came a long ways.
Lilly’s is super loveable and wags her tail whenever anyone speaks to her. She is housebroke and up to date on her shots and will be spayed next week.She seems to be a pretty easy going mellow young girl.
 Her only fault is she is dog aggressive but only when my dogs approach her or run toward her. They can brush up against her and walk by her she is perfectly ok with that so we really think this is due to all the trauma she has been through and maybe the brain injury had effected that as well. She may have spent her life alone and never been around dogs till now. But as with everything else she is improving and in time, a little TLC  she will come around and make a excellent pet and furry family member.

Her first day with us.
Here you can see her bloody eye.


A few days ago. How can anyone resist this face!!!

 Lilly today! Waiting for her forever home♥
 She's saying,come on,adopt me,I'll love you foreverrrrrr♥

Here you can see some of her scarring which is healing quite nicley.


 Here you can see her poor little ear that was torn off but healed really well.


 Lilly say's,come on,Im waiting to love you for the rest of my life!♥

I wanted to share with everyone my sweet little Christmas card that never was. I spent quite a bit of time coming up with this one. When I went to pick them up something went wrong in the priniting process and half of the image was cut off. It was too close to Christmas to order more so this one never got sent out but I thought I would just share it right here on blog land and while doing so send everyone a Very Merry Christmas and wishes for a Happy & Healthy New Year.




Seasons Greetings from Chuck, Pam & The Pack ;)

My little bit of Chirstmas 2011

Once again, I cut back a little more on my Christmas decorating. Although it's not a lot I wanted to share it here with you bloggers.
First of all I have to share pictures of my Christmas Mousey girl. My buddy Cookie & I did a little swap and this lovely is what she suprised me with! Isn't she just adorable! Poor girl, I just keep moving her around searching for the perfect spot. I may have to leave her out all year.
Thank you Cookie, I'll love her forever & ever!

Then this round fat fella is the new man in my life ;) He was a big suprise from my buddy Starla. She said he named himself Brrrrrr-ley which just so happens to be my father in laws name who we lost back in September so he is very special to us and we will always treasure him. He will live the winter(maybe every season;)) with us,sitting atop the end table overlooking my hubby's recliner. Thank you so much Starla!

It's The Most Wonderful Swap Of The Year!

...and it really is the most wonderful swap of the year. TDIPT swap that is. Most of you know that  many of the ladies of TDIPT have several swaps throughout the year but our Christmas swap is always the best and most special.
Recently I came home to find this big brown box on my bar from my bestie, Big Brown Dog, Jan Davis.

Everything was wrapped so perfectly and pretty.
Jan sent along SO many goodies. Sweet little vintage Pit Bull tags,as you can see candy galore, sweet quilted ornies,some of the best pumpkin butter I have ever ate! The letter P (Jan I'm thinking about putting a safety pin on it so I can attach it to all my shirts like Laverne of Laverne & Shirley,lol)
How I adore my Santa hanger, It's absolutely perfect and prim!
I flipped out when I seen my Santa quilt & JOY banner Jan made just for me. The JOY banner is very special to me as we lost our Aunt Joy to cancer years ago. So my family likes to put out JOY blocks or anything that says JOY at Christmas time. Now I have my very own JOY. ♥
Thank you Jan, I love it all !!
Be sure to check out Jan's blog to see a whole bunch more of her work. She is a wonderfully talented artist and sweetheart of a lady.
