Lilli Update

Here is an update on 9 month old Lilli.
She has outgrown most of her bad puppy habits, but can't be trusted with certain potted plants. She is very smart and has learned secret cat powers as well. She holds the cats down with her paws and thumps them until they tell her how to acquire some of their cat powers. As a result, she can appear and disappear so fast you aren't sure where she is. She can camouflage herself into a dark brown or green couch so you have to look twice to see her eyes and collar.

She will get into the pool, but perhaps due to falling in when she was little, hasn't realized the recreational benefits of swimming yet. She loves running in the park and playing with her toys. To this end she is very smart and knows the names of her main toys. If she leaves one in the back yard, you can say: "Lilli, fetch weasel!" and she will go get it and bring it in the house. She has also learned important "dog" things from her Aunt Gretchen, and assists Gretchen in guarding the house and yard. She has also learned to eat her Hundekuchen (dog cookie) in a more refined manner.

She has a very sweet personality, and even when she is bad (like emptying the bathroom wastebasket and leaving chewed items in the living room, it's hard to stay angry. Despite verging on 50 pounds, Lilli still wants to be held in your lap, even if it isn't very comfortable for either one. It would be hard to find a more loving and affectionate puppy. Thanks to Piper and Ruger, she also gets many compliments on her looks.

She is dearly loved here.


We are so glad and love getting the updates! Thanks!
