For The Love Of Sweet Lily Girl
Our sweet Lily girl passed away peacefully yesterday after an awesome last run on the beach she loved so much.
She was the most fabulous friend and we will miss her everyday. She had a wonderfully full life during her 12+ years with us. She especially loved going hunting with Chris or my Dad, running on the beach, and hanging out with me in my office.
She was my constant companion and was by my side during all the best and most challenging times. I had the thought today that maybe she stayed around (she was very sick in the summer of 2011 but pulled through) to be with me during the time I needed her most.
I am so thankful she was a part of my life.
Love you Lily girl. Thank you.
See more photos and read a post from 2011 about her story here.
So sorry about Lily. I know you are all going to have along time missing her.

Your comment about having Lily around for the difficult times was beautiful. I do believe that, just like people, animals are placed in our lives when we need them.
Sending you prayers for comfort and peace. =)

Many prayers to you and your family for your loss. Our pets are significant members of our families. They love us unconditionally and that is the best! I am so relieved that you were able to make it back home and enjoy a beach stroll with her. Thinking of your family...

So sorry for your loss. You gave Lily a wonderful life. It's amazing how much comfort an animal can provide during the difficult times in our life. So happy that Lily was there when you most needed her.
May she rest in peace.

My heart is week...I remember how sick she was, and often thought about how she was doing once you told us in 2011 she was better but you didn't know for how long. They are the MOST thoughtful, genuine companions you could EVER ask for. My heart just aches for you all, I will SO miss your posts and seeing her in the background or laying right by your desk. With sympathy!!!

So very sorry for your loss Ali. I've always enjoyed your photos of Lily, and can relate to having a senior dog that I love so very much. These photos are beautiful, and I hope your memories will sustain you through this hard time.

I'm sorry for your loss, Ali. Losing a family pet is like losing a family member. I remember when my mom had to put our dog to sleep. I cried for days. That was about 15-16 years ago and I still think of her. {{hugs}} to you and your children during this difficult time.

This post brought me to tears as it is hitting so close to home. We have a 13 yr. old lab who is struggling and we are also "struggling" with the decision we may soon have to make. Just wishing God would make this one for us. So sorry for your loss, so hard on the little ones who have known a pet as part of the family for their whole lives. Thinking of you!

It hurts I know. We have been thru it not once but many times. We cried for days. Time does heal but we did get Bess our blacklab cremated and I often talk to the box she is in. So sorry for your loss.

Peace to you and yours. What a very sad and difficult time. :(
Crazy or no, I think pets absolutely sense when we need them. I'm so glad Lily was there for you, and you for her. :hug:
