The Tiger "Lily"

We had a Keeshond named "Lily" who was as large as a female German Shepard both in height and weight (about twenty-four inches at the shoulder and seventy-seven pounds).  Every time she stepped out, I would find her munching on squirrel(s) and or chipmunks that she would track down with her amazing speed or moles and voles she had dug up. She was Carnage, Incorporated to the small mammals in the backyard. The smart ones avoided the fenced in area where we let Lily roam to at least have some chance of survival. We had one flight of stairs leading to the backdoor in the daylight basement, but I never saw Lily walk down it. She would leap the entire nine steps every time in a single bound with her feet touching down only when she was on the floor thirteen feet below. What an animal- one perfect killing machine!
