| Liz Arden & Lily (aka Missy Vail) |

 In December 2007, we lost our
beloved Zoe to bone cancer. Zelda would go to the door and cry
for her sister dog and we all had some difficult days. With heavy
hearts and a box of tissues, we once again headed out to Baypath but
it was just too soon. A couple of weeks went by and we tried it
again. This time, we were thrilled to meet Missy Vail, a beautiful
young white lab mix. We renamed her Lily as she is the color of
Calla and Easter lilies and brought her home to meet Zelda. Zelda,
now fifteen years old, instantly became younger with the introduction
of one-year-old Lily. Lily adapted quickly to our family and Zelda
was happy to have a new sister dog in her life. Sometimes though,
Lily was a little too playful for the elderly and arthritic Zelda.

In July, we decided to bring Lily to Baypath to walk some dogs with her for a little socialization. Before we left the house, Warren mentioned we would not be bringing home another dog as the house was full. As soon as we drove into the parking lot, we saw Elizabeth Arden.
She was running in her
little circle in a pen with Black Dog. We took her for a walk
with Lily and the dogs seemed to bond right away. We spent some
time sitting in a pen with her and Lily and she began to feel more comfortable
with us. It’s safe to say at this point she had our attention
if not yet our hearts. We learned the history of her anxiety and
fear of people and wondered if we may be able to help her because we
had two dogs and her anxiety was only toward people. To make a
long story short, we brought Elizabeth home and she has blossomed.
She graduated from beginner obedience school last week and was able
to socialize with 16 people on Thanksgiving. Lily and Elizabeth
enjoy playing chase, ball, wrestling and Zelda is happy because Lily
is no longer trying to play with her. Thank you for all you do. Baypath will always have a special place in our hearts! Linda, Warren “Skip” and Tina from Franklin, MA
