Lily


Lily was one of the Nicodemus/Velvet babies I kept for myself.  There was just a hint of rex in her fur, a slight waviness that belied her daddy's heritage.  She was a lovely color -- and just as blonde in personality as she was in coloration.  Seriously, Lily was a food-obsessed bimbo for all of her life.

She spent most of her time obsessing over the food bowl.  If she wasn't eating food out of it, she was stashing bedding into it.  I have no idea why she felt it necessary to bury the food bowl with bedding, but she did.  She would carry it up two levels of cage just to stuff bedding into the bowl.

She lived to be nearly 3 as well before succumbing to a number of very aggressive tumors. Fittingly, when she died she did it nose-first into the food bowl.
