5. My rescued Pom Lily came from a breeding farm...and she had stopped going into heat

due to a massive infection in her teeth...we fixed that and took her home. She was very scared and timid at first. I fed her by hand and babied her...my usual tactic with frightened rescues...a few weeks after Lily arrived Felix the Kitten arrived. The girls hid him in their room but had to tell me because he wasn't doing well...brats! Felix was too young to leave his Mom...we were getting ready to bottle feed, and I have to say I wasn't looking forward to night feedings when Lily the Pom took it into her own hands or small paws as the case may be...she nursed Felix until he was a big healthy cat and we had to stop it because he was getting too rough with her. He was bigger than her by then...we put her in a onesie so he could reach anything. They still sleep together every night and he is disciplined by his Pom Mom if he doesn't fly right. Animals are amazing. It really brought Lily out of her shell...I wonder if her last litter was taken from her and Felix help heal her in some way. Today she is a bouncy fluffy fun little dog. She is all white and cute as a button.



Benjy and Felix the cat all grown up! We lost Benjy in February.
