Thank you so much, everyone for your concern about Lilly. This is so minor and curable compared to what some of the others have been dealing with, that I almost hesitated to even mention it! Lilly will be fine. She looks a little pitiful right now and her lovely curls are missing on her lower back and her tail, but she'll be ok. Dr. Robinson and I will make sure of that!

And Chris, he did not venture a guess about where she could have contracted the fungus. She and Honey basically took all the same steps at the beach, so I really have no idea "why" Lilly, and not Honey. Lilly does have very sensitive skin, so maybe she was just more susceptible than Honey, or maybe she picked it up right here at home. I swear, you can't see any fungus growing in my house!!
