Billie's friend Lily

Lovely Lily loves Billie

Yes, even a respectable dog can have a kitty friend and Billie's friend is Lily, who was rescued from the Pasadena no-kill shelter about four years ago. That makes Lily about ten years old. She was an owner-release because, the story goes, the owner had too many kitties and Lily was targeted as the one that should be given away.

Lily loves her home in Whittier, which she shares with her human, Mary, and another cat named Button, an old Pug named Ling Ling, and--of course--Billie.

Eating and sleeping are her favorite activities. Occasionally, she will chase a bug if it's a slow-mover. Lily has a bit of a weight issue, which the Pasadena shelter labeled as "grossly obese." No wonder she was still there after a number of weeks.

Send your pet's picture and story to revmary@sixthdayfan.com and Billie will see to it that it gets posted.
