Pets of Miami Lakes

Community Thursday, September 2, 2021

Say hello to Lily! She is a 5-year-old Chihuahua who lives in the Royal Oaks community in Miami Lakes with Dr. Carlos Mendigutia, his wife, Selene De Feria and De Feria’s mother, Pally Martinez.

“She is spoiled,” De Feria said. “She is our daughter, literally. She’s so sweet, so tender, so beautiful.”

De Feria said Lily is “a real Chihuahua, she barks a lot.” She likes to visit her other ‘Grandmother,’ Eloisa Mendigutia in Hialeah. Lily is also playful: When her family is out of the house, the very strong 9 pound pup will move their shoes from the closets to her dog bed in the living room.
