Sunday Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, as well as, temperaments. But, we have to admit to never having met any pup quite so centered as Lily. We ran into her the other day while she was out for a bit of exercise.
This Yellow Lab seemed so friendly and at ease with strangers, that we weren’t at all surprised when she so willingly granted us an interview.
Lily revealed that at home she’s often described as a "Buddha dog." So Zen– nothing bothers her.
Besides being a deep thinker and extraordinarily calm, Lily wants to be with people as well as dogs. She looks forward to early morning walks along the Charles with her pals: Myrna, Lucy, Buddy, Tahoe, Archie and their humans.
When spending time at her country home, she likes making her rounds to see all the neighbors, who always seem ready with a special treat.
In addition to being very social, Lily admits she loves to eat– everything! But, her favorite treat has to be apples! Out in the country, she’s been known to jump off the porch to go snag an apple from under a nearby tree. She carries it home, plays with it, and then devours her snack with pride.
Lily is also a big believer in recycling! Nothing goes to waste, she said, including handfuls of her shedding spring coat during an outdoor brushing. Lily watches with fascination as birds swoop in to scoop-up free nesting material.
This extraordinary beauty told us she’s planning a special event to celebrate her upcoming 10th birthday. Details are not set, but she expects to spend the day with all of her friends. And, of course, there will be plenty of … APPLES!
See ya, Lily. You’re a one-of-a-kind Sunday Dog!
