On Friday, we lost our beloved Lily – just shy of her tenth birthday.
Lily was our constant companion over the last ten years – her only desire was to spend time with us, to be with us, to cuddle and play with us. She was selfless in her pursuit of our companionship, just wanting to be by our sides sharing our times together. So many special times.
Lily really selected us – we didn’t select her. We vividly remember first meeting her – along with her litter mates. They were all huddling close – but then Lily noticed us and walked away from the group to come over and say hi to us – her little tail wagging and her big eyes looking up at ours. We knew immediately she was the one.
Her official name was Tigerlily. She had a cowlick on her forehead – a tuft of hair – her own “mohawk” style – that just went straight up and earned her that name.
To us though, she’s always just been Lily. Our very close pal for all of these years – who we still can’t believe isn’t with us tonight. We really miss you girl!

What a beautiful photo and my condolences. Losing our beloved canine friends is so difficult. I grieve w/you.
Scott,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been through this pain several times, all with best friends who also chose me, rather than the other way around. I will think about them every day for the rest of my life, as you will do with your beloved Lily. How lucky she was to have a special person like you in her life! My heart goes out to you…
