Lily Houdini
I wish I took a picture of this today, but when Christian and I got home, we were greeted at the door by none other than Lily. This was a huge shock to us because we crate her during the day while we’re at work. I rushed in the house to figure out what had happened and found all of the toys that were in the crate strewn about the living room (3 toys). The PS3 controller that Christian left on the couch *ahem* was upside down on the floor. On my way to the bedroom, I found her blanket that was in the crate pulled halfway out the doorway. When I got to the crate, I discovered the crate liner about half a foot away from the actual crate itself, the crate door wide open, and the top handle lock (there are two on each door) somewhat chewed up. I don’t know how she did it, but she managed to escape. No accidents in the house. Nothing chewed up except for the crate handle lock. No garbage to tissue paper torn to bits or anything. Aside from the condition of the crate, the toys, and the PS3 controller on the floor, nothing was messed up. Amazing. We’re still going to crate her. I vote to mount a Doggy Cam though.

Christian and I took Lily to the vet yesterday to get her checked out and cure her ear infection. We had to take her back this morning so they could sedate her to clean out her ears. Yeah, it was THAT bad. They found three of these babies stuck in her ear:
Um. Yuck. These little suckers are just nasty. Apparently, they work their way into the ear and fur and get stuck. We have to give her medication for the next few weeks: a pill to ingest and 5-6 drops in each ear twice a day, 12 hours apart. Good grief. At least she won’t be itchy and feel irritation in there anymore. *whew*
