Good Bye

Sweet Lily's ashes


Hi all, Lily the Corgi's mama here.  It's been a while since Lily's last blog post and I know some of you were wondering what was going on.  It is with a broken heart that I must tell you that our dear, sweet, sassy, bossy, beautiful Lily has died.  In her earlier posts, Lily told you how she had suddenly been struck with seizures; despite the care of her vet Lily's seizures returned and were simply so severe that that they killed her.  When she was taken with the last seizure, I scooped her up to take her to the emergency vet, but realized Lily was gone before I even got her to our truck.  She died here at home, with me and her fur-siblings at her side.

Lily was a special corgi who had lived a short but full life.  Her daddy and I will miss her every day.  And someday, when the time is right, I'm sure we will welcome another dog into our home because Lily wouldn't want us to waste our love and our time in grief but would rather we give those things to save another dog.

If you have a dog of your own, please give him/her an extra belly scratch in memory of Lily the Corgi.  Even if you don't have a dog, you can remember Lily by donating a few dollars or a few hours or a few prayers to an organization that rescues dogs, as Lily was rescued.

Lily's sister Lucy the beagle mix has taken over Lily's Facebook page, but I think we'll just close the blog with this post.  Lucy may choose to start a blog page of her own later but for now, this will be goodbye.  I leave you with some pictures of our Lily the Corgi and say as she would have...

Til next time, take care of one another,

Love,

Lily the Corgi's mama
