Lily, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lily
Age: Nine and a half years old
Gender: Female Breed: Rough Sable Collie
Home: Branford, Connecticut, USA
 
   This is my dog and her name is Lily. I took this picture around Halloween last year. Lily is not usually very photogenic so the fact that she looks so pretty in this picture makes me happy. My other dog, Chloe, is also a rough sable collie. She is Lily's best friend. Chloe is three years old and very playful. She keeps Lily young. I also have two kittens, Sassy and Scooter. They are a little over a year old and they were once wild, but I domesticated them.

    Lily is a little unsure about the cats. They try to swat at her when she tries to play. Lily loves to bark and she looks so pretty after I brush her. She knows sit, lay down, paw and she comes when called. She is very gentle and obedient. She can be a little unsure of strangers but she warms up quickly. Especially if they pet her. She has arthritis so sometimes she moves a little on the slow side, but most days she is as frisky as a puppy. Lily used to be able to sleep in my bed with me but when she got arthritis she couldn't jump up anymore because the bed is too high. She is like a big soft bear, sweet, soft, and cuddly. Lily is the most lovable and affectionate dog I have ever met. She has a heart of gold and she wouldn't hurt a fly. I love her very much.
