You would never know that as a young puppy, Lily Ann had a broken bone that never healed properly, causing one leg to be shorter than the other.

This has not stopped her from enjoying life, though, as Lily has no idea she is different.

Lily is a happy go lucky girl who runs zoomies around Rosie, my mother’s senior rescue Airedale. She enjoys car rides with the windows down, going to the local dog park, and playing with her many Jolly Balls and other toys.

But Lily’s best buddy is a long-haired cat named Paddington. They can often be seen taking naps together in the afternoon sun and chasing each other around the house. They even play hide and seek!

Lily knows no stranger and gives juicy snout kisses to everyone she meets. She makes me laugh every day and I can’t imagine my life without my Lily Ann!
