Lily needs a loving family to adopt her!

Hi. My name is Lily and I'm a 10 month old apricot brindle English Mastiff. I like gazing at the sun setting on Mt Ranier and long walks on the beach. I love cuddling on the couch with my human. I don't like other dogs on the other side of the fence, but if they're right there with me, I can ignore them when I'm told to. My foster mom (FM) is teaching me some clicker training and that seems to be working well for me as I just adore the treats FM comes up with to entice me. I also like my foster brother, Harry, and I play with him every chance I get. I'm not as thrilled with my foster sisters, so I don't get to play with them. I am healthy and strong and have just been spayed recently. I do have something called PPM. That means that the membrane to protect my eyes when I was still in my mommy didn't go away altogether. My FM says the only thing she's noticed that is impacted by the PPM is that I don't find my toys in the dark as well as other dogs. But I can track a cookie or toy that she is moving in front of my face and I don't seem to have any sight deficits other than maybe some depth perception problems in the dark. When I first went to my new FM's house, she picked me up from a friend and put me in her car and stood outside talking with the friend for a few minutes. When I got in the car, I licked her ear to let her know I didn't mind being left in the car alone for a few minutes. Mostly when I'm in the car I just lean against the back of FM's seat or I lay down and go to sleep. I travel really well and have had car trips of up to an hour with no problems. I was friendly and outgoing at the vet when I was spayed and they all seemed to love me. At night, my FM puts me to bed in a crate and I go right in. Sometimes I balk for a second because I've got my FM trained to throw a cookie or two in my crate to get me to go in. I may whine for a minute or two to see if she'll let me out again, but then I just get so sleepy that I go right to bed. Fortunately, my foster brother and sisters always wake their Mom up early, so I never have to whine to be let out of the crate in the morning. I'm very patient and let Harry and the girls go outside to potty first and then my FM lets me out when they come back in. I'm always happy when she doesn't have to work because I know I'll get lots of cuddle time on those days and cuddle time is just the BEST. I'd love to stay here with my FM and then she could just become my MOM, but since my foster sisters don't really like me so much, my FM thinks it would be best for me to go to a home where I'll be an only pup or maybe have a brother like Harry to play with. Please let my FM know if you have room in your life, home and heart for me, because I sure have room in my heart for you!!!!
