Tiger Lily
Tiger Lily is another beautiful pup from my wonderful mentor, and I feel so fortunate to have spent a week with her and her littermates before bringing this little princess home. She is full of spunk and zest for life, yet always polite and respectful. I call her my princess because, from the very beginning, she could do no wrong—never once chewing a cupboard, a shoe, or anything she shouldn’t. She has truly been one of the easiest dogs I’ve had the privilege to train, especially as a steady, reliable family companion. Tiger Lily loves to run full tilt outdoors (and occasionally “prune” my trees), but she’s just as content to curl up on the couch when it’s time to relax. She delights in warm sunny days, basking in the heat, and spending time with our chickens. Inside the house, she’s often found alongside our oldest daughter—whether playing dress-up, curled up together, or simply keeping close by. She’s an independent thinker who enjoys doing her own thing, yet will happily follow you anywhere… as long as you ask nicely. Words hardly capture how much we love this girl. After producing two lovely litters, Tiger Lily is now enjoying a well-deserved retirement. She reigns as queen of the couch, an avid sunbather, and a playful “grandma” to her grandpups.

A Girl and Her Dog
Tiger Lily has always been my eldest daughter’s dog. In fact, Chloe even helped name her—she was a big Peter Pan fan at the time, and the name fit perfectly. From the very beginning, their bond has been something truly special and so heartwarming to witness. The patience and gentleness Tiger Lily shows toward Chloe speaks volumes about her loving nature. Whether they’re playing dress-up, curled up together, or simply enjoying each other’s company, the connection they share is beautiful to see. Tiger Lily isn’t just Chloe’s dog—she’s her confidant, her playmate, and her constant companion. Watching their relationship grow has been one of the greatest joys of having Tiger Lily in our lives. |
