Special Needs Pet Feature: Lily

There are so many caring pet parents out there who take care of special needs pets. To bring more attention to these joyful animals, and extraordinary people, this is a new feature to my blog. If you care for a special needs pet and would like your pet featured, please email me through my website contact. Send a photo and I will forward the questionnaire for your pet to be featured in an upcoming post.


What is your pets name?

Lily Louise

How old is your pet?

About 7

Where did you get your pet?

Lily came from the litter of our next door neighbor’s dog.

What is your pets physical challenge?

Lily is deaf and epileptic since birth

What is your pets favorite thing to do?

Lily LOVES to lay outside when it’s very cold outside.  She is my winter dog!

What is your pets favorite thing to eat?

Rawhide sticks for sure.

What do you love most about your pet?

Lily is so smart.  She knows sign language!  It took practically no effort to teach her.  She came by it naturally.

What has your pet most taught you?

Lily has taught me a lot about pack dynamics.  We’ve had changes to the pack over the last couple years and she has handled it beautifully.

Anything else you’d like to share?

Lily is most certainly Alpha of our 3 dogs.  She also hates the UPS man.  For some reason she doesn’t mind FedEx, but Brown just sets her off!
