Hello, I'm Chamomile

We love having Lily be a part of our family

Chamomile's Story

We adopted Chamomile from PAWS and she is doing very well at her new home. We re-named her Lily. She is very smart and growing very quickly. Lily is getting lots of love from our family and seems happy. Unfortunately, our older dog, Eddie, seems to avoid her more than anything. It would seem he has not taken as well as we had hoped to having a new puppy in the home. But they have good moments where they are comfortable sleeping next to each other and go on walks together. We had been more optimistic, hoping that Eddie would play with Lily. Perhaps it will happen some day, but right now we are making sure to give Eddie lots of attention and space when he needs it. Lily's potty training is going very well, all things considered. Lily has learned her name and how to sit. Lastly, her crate training is going very well. She fell asleep in her crate the moment we brought her home from PAWS, and continues to recognize it as a safe sleeping place ever since. Lily's favorite activities seem to involve playing with toys in our apartment and meeting the dogs in our building at the doggie social hour outside. She also seems to love to cuddle us humans, especially curling up into our chest and neck area. It is very sweet. She also seems to love eating and growing! We love having Lily be a part of our family. It has been a lot of work, being our first puppy. But it is well worth it and, overall, easier than we anticipated. We look forward to watching her continue to grow. One of the biggest things we are looking forward to is her first trip to the dog beach. This will happen she she is able to get her rabies vaccinations and when she is better trained.
