Lillie's Check Up

Many of our supporters have been following Lillie's story since last summer, when she came to us in active labor. Since then, her puppies, the adorable Frenchadors, have been placed with loving families, Lillie has undergone two separate ear surgeries to try to repair and heal the damage done by neglect in her first home and has been treated for allergies that seem to shift with the changing seasons. We got this update on Lillie's condition from her foster mom recently, and we thought Lillie's supporters would like to know how she is doing.

"Lillie had her check up last night. Her ears (after both underwent complete ablation surgeries) are doing great. Her allergies, not so great. She has an entirely new contact allergy, which has caused an infection on her tummy. She received a mild steroidal injection and has experienced immediate relief. She is also on antibiotics for the infection. She is also under strict instruction not to run around with a toy in her mouth while dragging her tummy on the ground, although we find this to be quite entertaining. After Dr. Dalo checked one ear, Murpheee raan over and licked it. After Dr. Dalo checked the other ear, Murpheee licked that one too. Then, while Dr. Dalo was examining her tummy, Murpheee licked her tummy. Lillie weighed in at 30.3 #. We have specific instruction that she is currently at the ideal weight for her frame. No more, Lillie. Lillie does NOT agree."

Lillie is on our available page at last. If you are among the admiring throngs Lillie has accrued and if you are interested in adopting her, read the long and detailed bio her foster mom has provided and see if you think you and your family would be a good match for Lillie.

We are looking forward to the day when Lillie is home forever, at last.

God bless you, Lilly! What a long haul you've gone through. Good boy, Murphee! Any chance we'll ever get a photo to see what grown-up Frenchadors look like?!

Yes, where are those Frenchadors? Are they itty-bitty Labs with stand-up ears and long snouts? Or 80-pound surf-chasing frog dogs?

I have fallen in LOVE with Frenchies of late. My dream dog of the future!!! Currently, however I have an amazing Mastiff and a bassett hound, both are rescues. My basset has crazy skin trouble, allegic to dust mites of all things, and we have had an eight year battle keeping her sane. I notice that Lillie seems to be on carpet? Carpet seems to have been one of our worst offenders. I had to get hardwood or tile floors and leather furniture for my Sophie... it makes a HUGE difference, she has no hot spots and has had hair for two years now.
big hugs, much love and the best vibes we can muster to this darling ms. Lillie. Soph says keep your chin up girl!
