Publisher's Synopsis
IT'S THURSDAY THE FIRST TIME I SEE IT. I KNOW THAT IT'S THURSDAY BECAUSE THURSDAY NIGHTS ARE THE NIGHTS MY DOG, LILY, AND I SET ASIDE TO TALK ABOUT BOYS WE THINK ARE CUTE... Ted Flask's best friend and only companion is Lily: a twelve-year-old, bedclothes-burrowing, ice-cream-eating, shrewd and sassy dachshund. Sure, she's ageing, but the two of them have great times together - until that Thursday night, when Ted learns that there is something very wrong with Lily, and is forced to confront the possibility of life without his treasured dog. What follows is a story about loving fiercely, learning to let go, and how the fight for those we cherish is the greatest fight of all.
