Lilly: Shih-Poo

My Dog’s Name: Lilly
Age of My Dog: 11 yrs
Breed: Shih-Poo
What I Love About My Dog: Lilly has taught me how to be strong. Lilly is battling two forms of cancer: thyroid carcinoma which has metastasized and she had a grade II mast cell tumor removed 6 weeks ago. It’s been a rollercoaster ride since February 2010. What I love most about Lilly is her courage, her personality (goofy), her tenacity to fight the cancer, enduring 2 major surgeries and undergoing chemotherapy at present. What I love about Lilly is her zest for life, her determination to win this battle against cancer and how the little things make her happy, like a butt rub, scratching her ears, playing with her toys, cuddling in my arms, licking my face, and I love to hear her sigh of contentment in my arms, when I am stroking her head or just holding her close. She has brought such joy to my life in the 11 years she has been a member of our family and I am hoping and praying for many more.

Thank you so much for this honor! Since this was submitted, Lilly has had 3 chemo treatments and happy to say so far she is tolerating them pretty well, minimal side effects and good bloodwork. She brings us so much joy, she’s like my child, and each day is a gift and I am hoping and praying that the chemo will give her a happy long life.
Again thank you from Lilly and Mommy!
myself and my pack will keep her in prayer and thought.
I really love dogs. Actually, also got shih-poo on my own. What I can say is that there’s no room for sympathy because I know Lily will make. She will survive these trials and challenges. Long live Lily. An even if I dont know you at all, I’ll include you in my prayers.
