5 Months and ready for Spring

Yesterday Lily turned 5 Months old. Today she is ready for spring! I didn't take any pictures, but believe me if I told you she and Truffles looked really scruffy. They have grown thick coats as it was a miserable Winter and we ran out of jackets for them to wear as they have grown so much!
So, this morning we trekked all the way to a nearby town to have them groomed.
TMI - Lily, the poor thing gets carsick!! On the way there and back again!!! We've got to get her something from the vet or taking outing this summer with her, won't be very pleasurable - for her or us.
Here is the Afters (without the before):

 

 

 She is still our Pretty Girl! But in the next photo you'll see  - *gasp!* Lily has got some skunk in her!

 Do you see it?? :-D


Little more about our Miss Lily: She is a scardey cat!! Oh, yes, and for this I'm sure we are part to blame. So soon as the weather has stopped its erratic behaviour and we have more sunny days, off to Socialization classes she will go!
She barks when she sees new people, especially if they don't let her sniff you or you don't touch her. She barks at noises and at the dogs next door when they howl.
Our noisy dog-child.
Sometimes when one bends down to her to pet her, she will cower and/or turn on her back. We have no idea how to change it. :-( We hope to be able to call in some expert help soon. Not just for that, but for the socialization and some obedience training. (although we are slowly moving forward on the latter on our own)
Oh and did I mention Miss butter cannot melt in my mouth, looooooooooooooves digging holes. She is a real champion digger and is really giving Truffles lessons in whole digging every day - it seems he is beginning to get the hang of it!

More pictures of Lily and Truffles if you click on the 'Truffles' tab. They are very obedient with sit and lie down.
