Fairmount Dog Stories features the every day stories of Sadie and Lily of Fairmount, a neighborhood in Center City Philadelphia. We honor the community of friends and fans of the girls in this blog space. Their exploits are endearing to us. So are the adventures and mishaps of all of their buddies who gather at an open space of Fairmount Park that we refer to as the playground. Join us here to share a moment of reflection about them!

I enjoy reading about the adventures of Lilly and Sadie. As a veterinarian, I see a lot of cancer in my Boxer patients. I wanted to write and encourage you to perform a daily 'lumps and bumps' check on Lilly. Like all cancer, early detection is key to helping our pets live a long, wonderful life. Please give Sadie and Lilly a big hug for me. And Lilly, lay off the poor frogs!
