While hanging outside with Lilly recently, I took the opportunity to whisper in her ear that *if* she happened to have a miraculous recovery up her sleeve, that NOW would be the time to play that card. I think Lilly is both smart enough and ornery enough to play a little trick like that. Don’t you?
Have you considered consulting with a veterinary homeopath, or other holistic practitioner?
Conventional medicine does not have all the answers.
Wishing you and Lilly all the Best.
I agree, I do think that Lilly could just be that tricky! 😉
I love your attitude. She is strong-hearted and ornery enough to do something amazing!
miracles do happen. heard your theme song just now. made me stop and breathe deeply for a few minutes.
You and Lilly are good women!
The list of positives shows that Lilly still has a great quality of life in spite of everything (thanks to your devoted care and her ongoing treatment). I continue to hope that her list of “cannot do’s” will grow shorter over time. A miraculous recovery would be better still! If anyone can do it, Lilly can. 🙂
BOL – maybe she just likes all the attention! I sure hope that is the case.

Lilly, go for it girl!
Sounds like some good things are happening for Lilly. Hoping your next report will bring even
more good news.
