We all enjoyed a visit from my sister and her family this Thanksgiving. Lilly especially enjoyed playing with my two nieces. This picture was taken by my older niece as Lilly looked through the window right at her. Normally she likes to take her time outside, but on this particular day, she didn’t want to miss out on any of the action inside the house (not to mention, it was a lot warmer inside!).
Under Construction
08 Oct 2014 1 Comment
Our home has been going through some major construction this past week. We are having new siding, soffits, gutters, back door, front window, and dining room window installed. Despite all of the noise and people coming and going from our house, Lilly has been a very, very good girl (other than a few barking spells yesterday). In the picture below, she just couldn’t help herself, she had to let out a loud howl to let everyone know that this is still her house!!
So that’s where my old ball went!

We are planning a big project at home this Fall – new siding plus a new front window and dining room windows. We started to get things ready for the contractor this afternoon which involved moving couches around. Lilly was helping us out every step of the way. She was very excited when she discovered an old ball under the couch. She played with it for 5 minutes straight (and that’s a long time for her)!

I took the day off of work today and enjoyed spending every minute with Lilly on her 3rd birthday. We played, worked outside (she was very “helpful”), went for the promised birthday ice cream, and had grilled pork chops for supper. Here she is after supper making sure that we didn’t leave any pork chops behind!
All Grown Up!

For all of the mischief and energy during her first two years of life, Lilly has now grown into a beautiful, well-behaved adult dog. Don’t get me wrong, she still jumps up on people when they come over to visit and she still loves ripping any piece of paper she finds into a million pieces (I hope that never changes!) but she now completely trusts us and has the desire to listen to us. She has a great big heart and loves everyone. We love her, too! It is hard to believe she will be three years old in just a couple of weeks. Lilly, her grandpa, and I will definitely be going out for ice cream to celebrate!

With her grandpa in the hospital for more than a week, Lilly tried to help in her own ways by…
cleaning up her mom’s mess when she accidentally spilled dog food (and chicken rice casserole) all over the freshly cleaned floor, and greeting her grandpa with one million “welcome home” kissies when he finally returned home!

Lilly was perfectly content with her feet tucked inside of her circular Nylabone -looks like she’s in handcuffs!
All Bundled Up!

It was 15 degrees below zero again this morning. Lilly actually stood at the door looking at me (like I was crazy) when I called her to come outside with me this morning. You know it’s cold when that happens! She is usually the first one to tear out the door. She didn’t even want me to take her sweater off when we came in – she just snuggled up on the couch in a nice warm fleece blanket and fell sound asleep.

Lilly provided us with many wonderful (and funny) memories in 2013. We are looking forward to another great year with her in 2014! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from this year:

We set up our Christmas tree this past weekend. Lilly made herself comfortable under the tree almost immediately. She especially likes our nice soft tree skirt with fun little pom poms all the way around the edge.
