Lilly

English Springer Spaniel

Hi. I’m Lilly. My good friends call me Poot. I’m the youngest in my pack. I’ve been with Mom and Dad for about 3 years.

I was born in Texas. My first family bought me at a flea market. A year later they got married and were going to have a baby. At the reception the bride announced to the groom she was going to have me euthanized because I had a pee pee problem. I was only 14 months old.

The groom’s mother wasn’t having any of this. She said she would take me back to Montana. She said she knew someone who would give me a good home. So I got aboard a plane and flew to Montana.

I met my new mom and a short while later was in a car on the way to her home. I sat next to her looking out the window at all the open land and mountains. This was quite an adventure I was on.

When we got to the house I heard barking and got excited. We went into the house and I met Abbie and Boo. I went looking around the house and came face to face with Ashley. What was this, I thought. It doesn’t look like a dog. Ashley began rubbing against me and purring. I got down in a playful crouch and started to bark. Then Abbie got between Ashley and me and started to growl at me. I ignored her and ran over to my mom with my tail wagging.

My pee pee problem persisted. I heard mom and dad talking saying I wasn’t a dirty dog. The pee was leaking out while I slept. I sometimes squatted with excitement also but they said that could be worked with. Everytime I got excited, I would check myself to see if I had gone potty. I was so embarrassed.

With good nutrition and healthy supplements my pee pee problem is under control. I am so lucky to have received a second chance :)
