Lily, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lily
Age: Eight months old
Gender: Female Breed: Yellow Labrador, American Pit-Bull
Home: Georgia, USA
 
   I'll never forget the very first day I saw Lily. My boyfriend and I were walking down a road next to my house with my mom's little Shih-Tzu when a bunch of puppies came running towards us from a neighbor's house. The lady came outside and asked if we wanted one. I told my boyfriend to go back to my mom's house and put the dog inside. My mother is scared of big breeds, so when she found out that Lily was a Labrador and Pit mix (her mother is Pit/Labrador and her father is a full Yellow Labrador), she was very nervous, but I couldn't let her say no. After waiting a few hours for the owner of the puppies to come home, we finally had Lily all to ourselves. It was pretty easy to pick out a name for her. Lily just fit her so well.

    She's a very smart dog. I taught her how to sit, shake, and even "kiss" in only a couple of days. She's really playful. When she gets very excited she'll run around the room with her butt almost touching the floor, it's one of the cutest things I've ever seen. She's so sweet, she loves giving "kisses." When it comes to meeting new people, she'll get really excited and she'll cover them with kisses. She has grown up so fast, and she's getting so big. She's a very unique dog, and I just love everything about her personality.

    And Lily even loves playing with my mom's Shih-Tzu, they're best friends even though she's so much bigger than him! No matter what kind of toy you buy her, she'll have it chewed up in just a few minutes. She loves to play non-stop. Whenever my boyfriend and I are laying or sitting down, she'll come up next to us and sit down. Whenever she sits down, it means she wants her chest rubbed. When she was very small, I would rub her chest all the time to relax her. And now she's spoiled with it. If we stop rubbing her chest, she will literally slap our hands and try to pull them towards her so we keep going. She's very curious. She loves watching everything we do, just like a human would. She's not like any other dog. I wouldn't ask for another, that's for sure.
