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.

    I'm sorry about Lily. If you can work/drive and listen to a story at the same time I recommend Marlie. Listening to it is so much better, and what the author says about dogs at the end is so cool.
    Also, I think you would really really like a boxer. They look mean, but are the sweetest babies ever. Smart, good with kids,loyal...

    So sorry to hear about your sweet Lily-girl's passing. I remember reading that post in 2011 about her and how much she means to you. Thinking of you as you adjust to life without her always at your feet. :(

    Ali, your post about Lily touched me as I lost my dog, Sam, at the very old age of 20. I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a family member. Sending you a big huge hug and woof!

    Ali, I am so sorry to hear of Lily's passing. They are much loved family members who are missed as deeply as others. I do indeed think they come to us for a reason, and I am so thankful for our chocolate lab Carly. She has been with us for the best times and the worst times, and I can't imagine life without her. Whether it's right away or after awhile, I hope you find another sweet puppy to love. They bring so much to our lives. Big hugs to you and the kids.
