The end of the road

I wish this blog had a happy ending.  It doesn't. 

Lilly hasn't eaten in a week and today she is to be euthanized.  She is the love of my life. 

I just wish the tears would stop.

From the first day in 2001 when we rescued Lilly from an overcrowded foster home in Bremerton to today, Lilly was an amazing girl!  a beautiful mutt  -jack and Corgy we think.
From Salt Spring Island to Key Largo, from Magnolia, Vashon and Methow Valley, not only did she bring immeasurable love to Mark and me, but to all who met her.
Her favorite thing in the world (besides treats) was to be on my lap, drivers side of course, head out the window- especially with the top down in her Saab. She loved chasing squirrels and birds and in Florida her obsession was lizards!
Her greetings, her love, her extreme joy of life will be missed.

We did 5 cross country trips together, along with her also rescued sister Daisy.
I'll miss her kisses, excitement, morning snuggles and the incredible sense that the world is right.
The cycle of life with dogs is just too short, but the love is so intense and honest! I will always love you Lilly!  Cheers to a life well lived. You'll be missed beyond your wildest dreams
