My name is Lillith but my mommy calls me Lil. I was born January 12, 2006. I came to live here March 2, 2006. I am a purebred poodle. My mommy was very depressed when Madelynne died. She tried to kick it and ignore it but it got worse and worse, something was missing. I can’t replace Madelynne ever. I am not her. Mommy will love no dog as much as she loved her. Ever. But Mommy had an empty lap, and room in her heart for someone new. She chose me. I am the only member of our family that was not a rescue.
My mommy bought me from a breeder someone referred her to. She didn’t want to buy from a breeder. She went through all the kill shelters, to find that toy poodles were immediately taken by rescues. She tried rescues, again, to find them uncooperative. This page is about me, and Mommy is not going to go off on a tangent, but what she will say is, she adopted Magnus, a cat, from a rescue without a problem. As for dogs,
She went through the same process with Tippi’s mom, as she would have with a rescue. And unlike a rescue, Tippi’s mom actually took her info and checked her references without prejudging the fact that she’s a divorced mom with 2 children. All the furkids in our family are spayed, neutered, up to date on vaccinations and on flea and heartworm prevention, including the cats. Mommy has never denied any animals medical attention, nor has she ever been irresponsible in any way with her furkids. Some of her friends think she’s crazy cause she treats us like her kids. So perhaps there’s a problem with some rescues regarding purebred dogs
and those that run them ought to look at their systems carefully. Our family's donations will always go to nonprofit organizations that treat everyone equally. Ok, enough of that,
In any case, I lucked out cause I ended up with family that loves me, Yay!
I am a little monkey. I jump on anyone and everyone’s lap that comes in the house. I run and play a lot. I have lots of toys but my favorite is my big orange plush bone. I chewed one up and it broke mommy’s heart to take it from me cause I loved it so much, I looked so sad. She bought me a new one though.
I love my Canine family. When I come downstairs with Mommy in the morning, I have to run around and say hi to each of the other dogs. Not that they want to be bothered. When they get grumpy, I roll on my back to let them know I am not trying to be dominant, I just wanna play. My sister Cleo is 12 and ornery, but I still say hi. I annoy Tippi but again, I still say hi. Sagittarius will act a little grumpy sometimes. He’s funny. He pretends not to like me and pretends like he doesn’t want to play but then plays with me and acts affectionate when he thinks no one’s looking. He’s alpha in the house since Madelynne died and I know this and never challenge it. He’s like my grumpy old grandpa.
Now for the cats, I kinda had a thing. I was all of 1-½ lbs when mommy brought me home but I’d chase them and though they mostly outweigh me by 10 times that, they’d still run. I got bored of that though and now they ignore me.
Tippi and I travel with mommy a lot. I get carsick sometimes, yuck, but once we get there I have fun. I am very well socialized and play nicely with all of Mommy’s friends’ dogs. When Mommy goes to Tallahassee, she takes me to lake Ella and I love to play with the other dogs there. However, I do have a thing for chasing the ducks. Most of the time when Mommy tells me “no”, I listen, but she has to pick me up to stop me from running after them.
Overall, I am happy, fun little dog and mommy is happy she found me.
About Me:
My name: My name is Lillith, but my mommy calls me Lil. Mommy knew she was bringing me home a week before she actually did but she and my human sisters couldn’t decide what to name me. They came up with a list of names and posted them to the care2.com forums. Lillith won. Mommy wasn’t sure it fit me,
but Marian, who suggested it, insisted it won fairly. So my name is Lillith, nicknames are Lilly and Lil.
My breed: I am a registered purebred poodle. I was supposed to be a toy. My mother was 6 ½ lbs, my father was 4lbs. It was thought I may be around 6 lbs. However, at 5 months old, I am over 7. Mommy knew in advance, without knowing the size of my grandparents, there was no guarantee of size. That is the way it is with all poodles. I am very fat, the only fat poodle mommy has ever seen, so it makes growth charts hard to judge. She thinks I may end up being a miniature. Which is OK. I am healthy, I have a very thick curly coat. Mommy has seen tiny toys with scant coats at over a year old. There are lots of healthy tiny toys as well, but after seeing that not all poodles are as pretty as me, she thinks she lucked out regardless of my size.
Mommy would rather have me at a little bit bigger with a healthy coat and good health overall than an unhealthy dog.
What I like: attention, affection, other dogs, my toys, my food, just about everything.
What I hate: the groomer and being groomed. I scream and fuss when mommy tries to brush me. Mommy took me to Tippi’s groomer ( a VERY kind, understanding lady) and she said I screamed and fussed if I was even approached with grooming tools. Mommy has been taking me to the groomer frequently to get me over this.
Update: October 2006: I am 9 months old now. and 9 lbs 9 ozs!!!
Much better with the groomer. I am however, a spoiled little nut. I will hide rawhides and bones from Bel until there is just one and I make sure other dogs see me enjoying the one that's left.
I am also spayed, Mommy had that done 9/28/06. Friends and also Cosette' daddy george asked that she breed me because they all wanted a puppy like me. I am not show quality and breeding me would risk my life anyway which mommy wasn't willing to do. She had me spayed, with much anxiety and preopertive bloodwork. I was fine a couple days later.
October 18,2006: Here I am in my Halloween costume. I don't like my hat so Mommy will not make me wear it again. But don't I look cute?
