Mount Vernon Pet Gazette: Carrie & Lily

Carrie and her dog Lily

Once upon a time, a skinny, lonely, skittish hound dog named "Lily" showed up on a pet adoption site. Two fair tween princesses hounded their parents to "pahleeeeeez" go visit this cute, cuddly, homeless urchin. Well, it was love at first sight/lick/bite and so "Lily" came to live at our humble castle in the kingdom of Stratford Landing. After several days —and umpteen pairs of flip flops — her name was changed to Luna (a joint decision by the subjects of the kingdom as she 1. failed to respond to her given name, Lily, and 2. has one blue "moon" eye and one brown, harkening to a sort of possessed look). So Luna (aka Looney) thus discovered her happily ever after home. Her flip-flop eating ways have luckily gone by the wayside. She now enjoys any opportunity to romp in the snow, chase her mean feline sister, Tilly, and stalk her squeaky yellow tennis balls in the yard. She recently celebrated a "school's off" snow fall with her sister, Anna. And they all snoozed happily ever after.
