Yay, we have a dog! :) Chris and I got a spaniel mix puppy named Lillian - we call her Lily. We adopted her from a pet resort that also takes in/finds homes for abandoned animals. Lily was found all alone. :( She is about 10 months old now and so cute! I have never seen a dog who wants to cuddle so much! She just wants to lay around on us or jump around on us when she is ready to play. There is only one problem....Lily dislikes pretty much EVERYONE but us.
Anytime other people are around...especially in our house...she stiffens up and keeps her distance. Sometimes she even growls at them. It makes me upset because she is so much fun and I want other people to see that too.
We think that she was abused in some way before she came to live with us. We took her to my brothers baseball game and we were sitting behind the batting box...when a player stood there and swung the bat...she flipped out. She was scared of the bat. She also cowers when I ge out the broom :( It makes me so sad.
We are hoping that she will get to the point where she is comfortable with others...so far she is only comfortable with us and my brothers girlfriend (haha, I don't know what it is, but she likes her). We need the dog whisperer or somethin'!
Regardless of her edgyness around other people we have a lot of fun with her and love her very much. She loves being squished between both of us more than anything. I guess she feels safe there. I just hope we can help her get used to others!
