Hello DT. It's 12 days to Lily's 12th birthday! I figured it was time to celebrate! Lily was born on November 11th, 2000!

Here are a few pics when she was in her first year. I'll post new pics/videos every day for every year I've had her!

Everyone who meets her would describe her as, sweet, shy, sensitive, cuddle bug, food drooler, squirrel barker, couch queen.

Some of you may have seen her at the Dobe Nationals. She came along, as she just didn't want to be left home..... She was a big hit.....and loved the many pieces of chicken, wieners and liver that magically came out of people's pockets when they saw the sweet senior girl!

She participated in the full heart work up that was being provided.....and I'm happy to report.....her heart is 100% healthy!!! She's slowing down these days, but still plugging along. She perks right up in the backyard, or when cookies are around!

So without further ado. Here is baby Lily - Year #1.

8 weeks old!


Comfy Chair


Loving The Sun


It's a tough life being cute.

Well....looking for pics shows me...that way back then....I didn't carry a 'real' camera around like I have with my iphone! So it was scanning time for the last few hours!!! And pics that are 10 to 12 years old.....MAN I was young!!!

dapple, great Lily photos btw...you can imagine the smile, this photo brought me.

Reminds me when I had my first dobe Tanya (1977) and most weekends visited my parents farm to do body & paint work on my daily driver cars.
Their Boarder Collie was named Tippy and looked like Tiny, to a "t".
Our Tanya and Tippy also shared the couch, in the farm house kitchen, just like in your picture....thks for sharing & renewing an old memory of mine.
Tippy was one of the smartest heinz57's, I ever saw, and we all loved spoiling him...he thought he was half human & half farm dog.

Day 4!!! Here's Lily in Year 3-4. She's staring to grow up. She spent her days with her nails painted pink, swimming....She was a HUGE swimmer....out in the middle of the lake like a lab! These days, she goes in....but can't swim anymore. She tries but just bobs like a cork. Poor girl. Anyhow....here's Lily in her prime!
