Meet Jilly

In 2010, long before I met Ty, I was on the search for a new companion. I spent months looking at shelters and adoption events trying to find the right puppy for me. I knew I wanted a small dog and I was really interested in a Yorkie. After not finding the right puppy I started looking at KSL.com for a purebred. I still continued to visit adoption events but my search ended when I came across this tiny little chihuahua puppy.

A litter full of brown puppies and one mostly white one. I contacted the breeder however felt like I still needed more time. I was having mixed emotions about not getting a rescue dog and I wouldn't be able to pick her up until the weekend due to work and the breeder living pretty far away. So I waited.

Then on a Thursday night I couldn't sleep. I was up once again searching KSL when I saw Rhonda's latest post. This little white puppy was the last one and she was sure when Jilly was born that she would have been one of the first to go. I emailed her right away that I wanted her and that I would be able to pick her up right after work the next day. Luck would have it that she would be able to deliver her and we could meet the next day. I was so excited. The moment I held her I instantly fell in love.

There have definitely been some challenges. In January 2011 Jilly got into a little fight with our older dog and ended up loosing her eye.

Now a days Jilly loves to be lazy and snuggle under the covers. When she's not in bed she likes to sunbathe out on our patio. Her favorite person is her uncle Kaleb and will do whatever she can to be by his side watching him play his video games.

She's not always huge on eating but has been known to steal peoples coffee or beer. Her second favorite snack is lettuce.
