Lily’s Pad Rescue

IT ALL STARTED WITH ONE SPECIAL GIRL…

Some things begin on their own without a conscious decision or choice. Fate makes paths cross and a path is started. That is the case with Lily’s Pad Rescue. On February 6, 2015 Mama and DaddyPad (then known just as Rachel and Ken) adopted Lilypad. Her name prior to that day was LuLu. Lil was a 15 week old English Bulldog with Spina Bifida and as a result she was fully incontinent and had to wear diapers inside. The space she snuggled into in Rachel and Ken’s hearts opened the door to many more to come and the birth of Lily’s Pad Rescue.

Presenting Haley (we have Comet already)

Well... it looks like Lily's Pad Rescue is about to welcome another little princess this week.

Just look at that sweet face! She may be tiny, but she's already stealing hearts.

This new kiddo is suspected to have hydrocephalus, which is sometimes called "water on the brain." In simple terms, it means extra fluid builds up inside the brain, putting pressure on it. Puppies with hydrocephalus can have symptoms ranging from mild to more serious, including vision problems, balance issues, seizures, or delayed development. Some pups require medication or surgery, while others go on to live happy, love-filled lives with the right care. We won't know exactly what she needs until our veterinary team has a chance to evaluate her.

As always, we'll walk this journey one paw at a time.

Now for the REALLY important question...

What should we name this beautiful little girl? Drop your cutest, sassiest, sweetest girl names in the comments! Bonus points if they're magical, whimsical, or fit a tiny bulldog princess.

And... let's address the elephant (or bulldog) in the room...

Do we think Comet is about to fall head over paws? We all know our handsome little flirt has a reputation. Should we be preparing him for love at first sight, or is this little lady going to keep him working for her attention?

We cant wait to welcome her to the Lily's Pad family. We can't wait to show you that your story is just beginning.

A note from Haley

Haley here! Reporting for duty!

Today Grammapad took me on a BIG adventure! Apparently, I'm not allowed to zoom around the world by myself yet, so I had to ride in my fancy red chariot... the humans call it a walker. I call it my Puppy Mobile 5000.

At first I thought, "Excuse me, I have FOUR paws!" But then I realized riding shotgun means I get chauffeured everywhere while everyone stops to tell me how adorable I am. Honestly... I could get used to this VIP lifestyle.

Grammapad says my walker keeps me safe while I'm growing and learning. I say it keeps my royal paws from getting tired while I supervise the humans. Someone has to make sure they're pushing me at an acceptable speed.

I waved at everyone I met, flashed my best squishy smile, and even stuck my little tongue out just enough to let everyone know I am, in fact, the cutest passenger on the planet.

Next stop? More adventures with my favorite chauffeur, Grammapad. Just don't tell her I expect first-class service and unlimited snack breaks from now on.

Love, Princess Haley, CEO of Tiny Adventures & Professional Walker Rider
