Lily is adopted!



Rita's Lily, not being one to dilly-dally, was adopted this afternoon by the Julie and Terry and their daughter. Having landed in LA less than a week ago, Lily quickly made up her mind to set up permanent roots here, picked a great family and off she went.

Julie and her daughter were in their front yard as Tom was bringing Lily out of the car. They instantly loved her and Lily showed off by rolling over on her back and soon was playing with a ball they had for her. Terry came home early from work and they all went into the house where Lily did a tour of her new home by carefully exploring every room. Her bed was set up in the living room and she seemed to know was hers. Before long she was settled in and found a spot under the table where they were sitting. She seemed to know that she found a home.

Lily will be ever grateful to Rita and MJ who found her and nursed her for months through her illnesses, found her a foster family that had the courage to bring her to the airport and say goodbye and located a passenger to take her here. Lily's also grateful to Mariko and Julie, who fetched her up at the airport, to Mariko and family who hosted her for her first nights in the states. Finally thanks to Tom, who made the intros and did the deal, and Ellen, who found Lily this lovely home. Thank you to GRCGLARescue for making all these little miracles possible.
