For The Love Of Sweet Lily Girl

They squirm right into your heart and life, and the bond is permanent. We lost our husky two years ago, and we still miss her presence. Having a dog is one of life's blessings, and yours was Lily.

So sorry for your loss. She was lucky to have such a great home. My thoughts are with you and your family as you try to heal the hole that is now in your hearts. RIP Lily :-(

Losing a pet is so hard... nothing anyone can say will help... prayers for you for healing is all i can offer... they are just like family...

Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's amazing the sixth sense dogs have about humans going through trials and tribulations -- they always seem to know when you need a little extra love. It sounds like she had a wonderful life.

Ali, Simon, and Anna: I'm so so very sorry for your loss. I'm in tears writing this as I know I will have to go through this experience in the near future...our Steffi girl is 13.5 and definitely slowing down. No words of wisdom, just hugs.

I am so sorry for your loss. So sad...

Dear Ali and family, so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved lily, she was so beautiful in all her photos, l am shedding a few tears as l write, knowing how hard it is to lose a pet, cos they are not just pets are they, love to you all

I just read this, and I am so very sorry. I know how hard losing an animal baby is. They are our family. <3 Much love for Lily, and for you all.

Dear Ali, please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I, too, have a black lab who gets a little more gray with each passing day and is a bit more hesitant to follow up and down the stairs--he waits by the steps but just doesn't have the desire to climb them anymore.

HUGS Ali!! It is so hard to lose such a beloved friend and member of the family.

Ali, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Lily. So many of my friends are going thru the same thing...it seems we all found our fur babies around the same time (wanting a little practice before starting full blown families). It is so hard to see them aging...my boxer Riley will be 10 this September!

I'm glad to hear that Lily was able to enjoy her last days and know that she was loved so much by her family. My heart goes out to you and the kids. I hope you are surrounded by happy memories with her...

Thinking of you!

I am so sorry, I know how faithful she was to you, just by your blog posts/pix. she was beautiful and God knew when you needed her most. I am so happy though for how your life is so happy and you seem happier than ever and content. rest in peace beautiful Lily girl.....

Ali, I'm so sorry for your loss. Dogs really do hold a special place in our hearts.

I love how Lily was there for you during the time you needed her most. Isn't it amazing how dogs just know?

Thinking of you.

Rest in peace, Sweet Lily Girl.

I am so sorry. Fur babies are like children. I dread the day I lose mine...

Ali, our pets are family too, and it's so hard to lose one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time. Cherish your memories!

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!

[...] Worked. Packed. Drove kids to the coast. Dinner with Aaron, Katie & Peter. Attended the Your Story Retreat in Gearheart, Oregon. Said goodbye to Lily. [...]
