Lily the German Shepherd living with Gracilis Muscle Contracture

Lily doesn't let anything get her down. She is learning to live every day to its fullest, despite the cards she had been dealt.

[@Eurocatbaby]

Lily is a very special girl. Her first Dad loved her enough to find her a good home. She loves her new family. She is the Queen of stick dancing. She lets any of those other know not to mess with her sticks. She has gain more confidence since she has had treatment with Neal and getting water therapy with her Dad. She has started to come out as a strong leader in the pack to back up Freddo and Roscoe. But she doesn't like it when Luke leaves her behind. We love you Lily girl and wish much good health to you.

[@DragonFly_Moon]

God bless the ever compassionate Evans family for adopting Lily and giving her former dad peace of mind that she will always have the best life possible. I'm sure that gave him comfort as he released her into the Evans loving care. And God bless Neil for helping to keep Lily's 2-4 years diagnosis of no longer being able to raise herself with her back legs well past that stated timeline. And finally, God bless Lily herself for still dancing with the bestest of sticks and running with the pack with such exuberance of spirit!!!! We love you, Lily girl! 💞🐾💞

Lily’s first Papa was a good man. He wanted to make sure his Lily was safe and happy. Papa Luke and Momma Sam took over and Lily is having the best Life and happiest life she can. She is our wonderful stick dancing Lily girl!

[@EGSimon-ds1vf]

I love Lily! She is so blessed to have had two good dads in her life. Her first dad loved her and took great care of her. When he realized he could no longer do that, he didn't just abandon her. He made sure she was in a safe, loving place. Luke and Sam, her new mom and dad love her and did not abandon her either. They opened their home and their hearts to her. You can see how happy she is and now that she has been diagnosed with a very serious condition, she is still getting the best care and all the love she deserves. Her stick dances are such a fun thing to watch! When she was getting groomed she was very vocal about wanting Luke to be with her throughout the whole session. That behavior certainly shows how much she loves him and how safe she feels in her new home. God bless you Lily, Luke and Sam!

[@ganzalleine]

Go beautiful Lily! Your beautiful humans have your back and online packs like us have your dad's back for support! Enormous support is there for you to be able to keep dancing with sticks and flopping those velvety ears. We love you beautiful Lily

[@annemarieallaire6564]

Lily, "Dancing Stick Queen!" Her owner was so wonderful to give Lily to Luke & Sam; who adopted her! She is such a treasure. Her GMC diagnosis was so heart-breaking, but Luke & Sam are doing all they can to give her the best quality of life. Neil has been awesome in explaining what he can do to help her. It breaks my heart, but she is living her best life on The Farm, and being given every chance to do so!! I love GSDs. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@reneethompson1564]

We’ve all seen dogs who have lost the use of their legs from one thing or another and it’s not a death sentence. All Lily would need is a set of wheels made just for her. No, she wouldn’t be able to do her “stick dance”, but she would still be mobile and able to join in. Being part of the pack is the most important thing.✨✨

[@sherylmclaren7202]

i'm willing to bet that lily will find a way to get in a stick dance or two when she has her wheels! she's determined to live life to its fullest! 💜

[@soloflight6438]

It seems that most vets recommend euthanasia when a dog is diagnosed with a debilitating disease. Its really heartbreaking.

[@maryvincent8043]

I agree with you. I have seen dogs and cats get a set of wheels and lived happy, long lives.

At 2.01 after the first vet told Luke the sad news, Luke whispers to Lily " That's not good news is it?" and she looks up at him like she understood. That's when I lost it..... But hey Lily, Neil is going to help you overcome any discomforts, so you can continue your famous stick dance, and even if you end up being fitted with wheels in the future, life will still be good. I've read and seen videos of dogs fitted with them, and wow!, some of them should be competing at the paralympics!! Chin up girl, you're very determined and we'll always be cheering you on. 💖💖

Such a gorgeous girl who's loving life on the Farm with all her new friends and family. I love that Luke and Sam have said previously, that they'd adapt things around the Farm to accomodate her mobility should she eventually need wheels. She'll never stop loving her stick play or being the most beautiful and most playful girl. She's completely adorable and thank you Luke and Sam for not thinking twice about keeping her when her previous dad had to give her up 🥰🥰

Love ya Lily. So many people are cheering for you on this journey and sending out all the good vibes for you and many more years of stick dancing until you show us what you can do with wheels. Fun fact you forgot, Lily is bigger than the boyos I think. Rosco and Freddo just think they are big. 😂💜
