Mimi Linna, Lilly and Lolly's Blog – July 2011 Archive (7)

The day went great for Lilly. The night- not so much. We took her to Lincoln ( 70 miles one way) juat as we got to Oficce Depot I spilled my Sonic Rt 44- ice and all on my lap and Lilly. I just figured that people would think she peed on me. (nice to have someone to blame things on, now that the kids are raised.) She went potty on the grass and slept all the way home.

 She ate dinner and I ran her up and down the house.. if a earthquake shows in Brownville, NE,on the scale…

Lilly did not read the books on crate training.  I thought I was the expert on drate training a dog since I read so many articles/ books/ talked to others and well I crapped out. We put her in her crate in the spare room with me. I put her blanket, the heart beating thing and a toy..just like the book said and put her in and shut the door. Sweet mary, Jesus and Joesph..you would have thoguht she was 13 and I told… Continue

She's here..she's here. Lilly is here with me in my house and in my heart. Papa Scott and I are over the moon thrilled. So here's the day. I woke up without the alarm clock at 6AM. We drank some coffee, I took a shower and was otu of the house by 7. We are unable to use HWY 29 since the floods closed the road. ( I am very bitter with Corp of Engineers not letting water out of the dam sooner.. but I am in to good of a mood to b*tch about it here) After driving…

Tis the night before Lilly comes home and all through the house every cord was put up and not a tooth pick or paper clip was about. Papa Scott is asleep a snoring in bed and I think I am ready for motherhood again, I said. Her food it is ready, her bed is all set, bowls, toys, brushes.. I think the list has been met. I am nervous, excited and a little silly- for tomorrow at this time we will have with us,Miss Lilly.

This morning I put everything out for Lilly's arrival on Friday. I must say for a little bitty thing, she sure has a lot of stuff. That is what happens when one is retired, can shop by the internet and it is to hot to go outside.  We are renting a little (itty, bitty, teeny, tiny) cottage while we are restoring our 1870 Victorian house in Brownville, NE. We thought we would be in the place by last April and now it is looking more like October. Our main house is in…

I joined DoodleKisses because we were getting a goldendoodle. I had hoped to get some much needed information from people that owned doodles. I was not disappointed. I have learned so much and hope to use this education when Lilly comes home.

What I did not expect to find was the love and support of total strangers. I posted about having to board Lilly for most of the month in September. An angel in the form of Dori (and Rue) stepped forward and offered to watch Lilly. I was so moved…

Lilly was born on June 2, 2011. I have been waiting for her arrival since January of this year. Well really I have been waiting for her since our lab mix Molly went to doggie heaven in 08. I just didn't wear my husband down until this year. We.are.not.getting.another.dog.no way.no how.over his dead body would there be another dog in the house while he was alive. When I called my daughter and…
