Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.
Lily had severe bilateral hip dyslasia and Dr. Karen thought it was best to put her to rest. I wanted to let everyone know sooner but, I just couldn't stop crying long enough to see the keyboard to type. I miss Lil so much it hurts but, I know that she was in so much more pain. For the last few weeks we had to carry her up and down the steps and she was holding up her left leg.
Not to many people knew Lily but, she was Gabriel's big sister. She and the rest of Sassy and Belle's litters came into SCD on a cold snowy afternoon in January. They came in two laundry baskets. Lily was the sweetest and most loving girl. She was stubborn but, so funny. Her favorite thing as a young pup was to run up stairs and steal a toy from the big dogs and run downstairs as fast as she could. Leaving the big dogs stunned. Later her favorite thing was just to come up stairs and lay on the chair and be one of the big dogs. If I would sit on the steps she would always come down behind me and lay her head on my shoulder.
I miss her so much and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to know her, love her and be loved by her.

Lily's mom

Oh no---I feel sooo bad. :stuart: Obviously, I never saw Lily in person but I showed so many people the picture of her at the bottom of the stairs when she was a pup.
She looke so pitiful & it was so darned cute! Please accept my condolences. It's so hard to lose a beloved pet, especially one so young. I bet everyone on this board has been there, you probably more than a lot of others. You are in my prayers.

Kathye,

I am so sorry to hear about Lilly. Even though, her life was to short, she was one lucky girl to have been in your family.

May you find some comfort in the memories you shared.

Kathye,
Again, I'm so sorry to hear you lost your girl...
The day that Lily arrived at SCD was the same day I brought Brody home (my first visit to SCD)...January 29, 2004, and I got to see all the pups and their mums in the baskets, cute as buttons...
I was so priviledged to meet Lily, and have her follow my friend's daughter around SCD that one afternoon a few months back....Lily was so gentle with my friends 20 month old daughter, she even let the little girl hold her leash, and didn't even pull at all.....
Such a sweet, tender soul....

I'm so sorry to hear about Lily. I know your heart must be broken right now. I hope that the other dogs will bring you comfort in your loss. It's a hard hard thing. Very sorry you two. :stuart:

What in the world are you doing coming in the back door?  I don't know if I have ever seen you come in the back door.  I am usually with you.  How did you get to the store without me?  How did you get out of the house unnoticed?  What is going on here?????  Are we off our schedule?????    AAAAAAAAAaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!??????

Kevin and Kathye,

So sorry to hear about Lily. From her pictures, one could tell she was special; such a dear one. I know your heart is breaking, but you have saved her from inescapable pain. It's days like these that make being a custodian of our faithful friends hard to endure. She knew you had her best interests at heart. She's pain free and at the bridge waiting.

Kathye and Kevin, I am so sorry to hear about your loss, it's hard to see our babies in pain and harder yet to do the right thing by them and let them go, freeing them from further pain and suffering. Adonis will be there to welcome her to the bridge and the 2 of them can run and play without pain, without illness.
My thoughts are with you two. Mary

Dogs don't know about beginnings, and they don't speculate on matters that occurred before their time.
Dogs also don't know-or at least don't accept-the concept of death.
With no concept of beginnings or endings, dogs probably don't know that for people, having a dog as a life companion provides a streak of light between two eternities of darkness

Kathye and Kevin,

I am so sorry for the loss of Lilly. Just know that you gave her a better life than anyone else could have. She will be waiting for you at the bridge with the rest of the ones that we have lost.

Kathy & Kevin,
SO sorry to hear about Lily, I remember we were at kennel the
cold day in jan when they came in, remember help set up the big
pen for Moms & pups. Lily knew she was loved & you did all you could
for her. She is free from pain now...
Take care...
