It's the Ides of March, whatever that means. Pups like to sleep in Vicki's bed, end of story!

Good Morning Day 18!

Here I am, actually on my bed!

Day 17

I had to sleep many, many hours today because i played so hard all week. Vicki was surprised when she walked into her bedroom and AGAIN found me laying on her bed. What can I say? I just love the comforter design :)

i love these colors!

Day 16

Boy, am I ever tired out from my four days of almost non-stop play at Doggie Central. Vicki picked me up this afternoon and I got to ride in the car back to her house. I wanted to drive but she said I couldn't 'cause i don't have my learner's permit yet.

Once i got home and visited my pal Vernon for a bit, I just had to hit the sack. I am pooped!

Vicki exclaimed, "Who's been sleeping' in my bed?!" when she saw me all flaked out on her comfy bed. Yes, i have my own round fleece bed, and it's quite nice as it's right next to my box of toys, but there's something about her bed in the afternoon that i can't resist. And I love to put my head on her pillow. :)

Day 13

Is it Day 13 already???? Wow, where does the time go? I've gone to Doggie Central for a little vacation until Thurs...so no pics until then. sorry fans! Miss Lily needs a little down time to be refreshed for her next photo shoot!!!!

Oh! The places I go....

Late this afternoon Vicki took me for a ride in the car to Doggie Central where I'll be staying for a few days while she's in New York. I enjoyed watching all the people pass by as I sat nicely in the passenger seat.

Hey! if you want, you might be able to catch me in action playing if you log on to the doggie cam where i'm being boarded. hopefully i won't be BORED or boring :) just go to www.doggiecentral.com...then go to the doggie cam listed on the menu...you'll be asked for a user name and password and it's super easy!

user name: doggie

password: central

i'll probably be in the big dog room...and, dude, if you're lucky you'll get to see me!

I was soooo relieved to find that the cameras are only on between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM Pacific time because, like, hey i need my privacy, too! i don't want anyone to see me before I've put myself together...i can't always be looking perfect...i sometimes get bedhead, too, you know. see ya!

Sunday, Mar 5

it's so hot out today Lily had to wear sunscreen with SPF 85!

Day 12

Good Morning Sunshine!

Gonna be sun-shiny hot today...another day with temps in the 80's...

Day 11

Saturday, March 3rd.

Day 10

wow, it's already Day 10!

you can see here that i am sleeping again..this time on the couch along with my BFF Vern. Vicki's white sofa has been shrouded in layers and layers of sheets and towels so Vern and I can mess it up all we want without damaging the pristine white cushions.

Today I spent a good deal of time lounging in the sun. I was lectured by Vicki about the dangers of too much sun exposure since, according to her, I have sensitive, fair skin that may be prone to skin problems if I spend too many hours under the harmful rays. She said something about me needing to wear sunscreen or a t-shirt next time, but i didn't really understand what she was yapping about.

Oh, and Vern and I each got a Nylabone to play with this afternoon. They're highly digestible, or at least that's what the packaging says.

Day 9

Aren't I the cutest as I nap in the late afternoon in Vicki's office???

Sweetest Factor

The sweetness factor is officially off the charts!

Day 8

What's special about today?

Well, not only is it Leap Year, but Miss Lily had her first ever interview...yep, she had an interview at Doggie Central Day Care/Boarding to see if she can be a client. She passed with flying colors and is now enjoying the afternoon in doggie day care. Next week, when Vicki will be out of town, Miss Lily will have a super great place to go. She'll be well taken care of and have lots of pups to play with all day.

In this photo you can see Miss Lily on the right, with a deaf English Bulldog named Howard and a dalmatian also named Lily. The worker first let Miss Lily in the small play area by herself, so she could sniff around and acclimate. Then one at a time new dogs were brought in and introduced so she wouldn't be overwhelmed. After she proved she has excellent social skills, she was welcomed into the larger open play area.

Day 7

This morning I got a special treat: a hollow bone with p-nut butter inside. Vicki put creamy old-fashioned peanut butter in the bone and then put it in the freezer. 30 minutes later I was enjoying the challenge of getting the yummy peanut butter out!

Day 6

This morning Vernon and Lily took a walk.

Day 5

It was such lovely weather out today that I spent a lazy Sunday napping in the sun.

Day 4

Vernon and I played so hard last night, running in circles in the yard, that I had to sleep in until well after 9 AM this morning. I also discovered, much to my delight, that there is a fascinating compost area in the way back of the yard. It's super interesting to me....I keep wondering what all goodies are in there...but Vicki doesn't like me nosing around in it :(

Day 3

It's Day 3. This morning I was transfixed trying to figure out how to stop the little gold dot on the floor. Everytime I moved, it moved. It was so frustrating! Then Vicki told me it was the reflection from my new ID tag on my collar. Silly me!

I have found many new spots for naps. I am going to try to find a new one every day.

please do not interrupt me when i am obviously busy with my chew stick

Day 2

After a solid night's sleep I awoke refreshed. Here I am on my bed.

Then I ate breakfast and played a little before settling in for a mid-morning nap.

As you can see, I've found many good spots for snoozing. So far today I've taken 5!

Day 1

Today is Day 1 of Miss Lily's Adventures. Miss Lily is on a 7-week holiday until April when she will join her new family near San Antonio, Texas. Lily arrived this morning ready to play. She and Vernon played tag for several hours and then napped and then resumed their game of tag. Now it's lights out for the weary pup. So far today has been great. No mishaps, conflicts or problems of any kind. Sweet dreams.
