Ha!

Last time the dogwalker came, she reported that she called from the bottom of the stairs and Lilly did not even get out of bed and come downstairs.

I think it's probably because Lilly knew it had been raining earlier (the pugs do not like to get their precious feet wet). But I'm waiting to see what happens today. Was it the weather, or has the dogwalker been judged to be just as big a disappointment as I am?

She said that after walking Rose, she sat on the couch, and "Rose went upstairs and got Lilly." I have a hard time imagining this - Rose and Lilly don't usually have that kind of relationship, and I don't know what she could have said to change her mind.
