Precious Lilly crossed the Rainbow Bridge Last Night

[Pecos]

Lilly has been battling several health issues for the past few years: bladder cancer, epilepsy, and digestive problems. Late yesterday evening at the age of almost 14 1/2, everything seemed to converge, and she started having severe seizures that we could not get under control. I drove her up to the nearest emergency hospital in Columbia, SC, but to no avail. It became readily apparent that this wonderful little Bichon was finished, and it was time to let her cross the rainbow bridge.

While we knew this was coming, it still doesn't make it easier. We are grieving now, and the younger Bichon is lost without her older sister. The love of a good dog is so very special.

I have read that if you "don't know sadness, then you won't know joy." I suppose that is true, but it still hurts.

Knowing it will happen doesn’t make it any easier. RIP, little Lilly. These next few days will be especially difficult for your family. {{{hugs}}}

So sorry for your loss.

Pecos, I'm so sorry you lost your sweet little Lilly. She had a wonderful life filled with the love you had for each other. May she rest in peace.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

So very sorry for your loss.
Knowing does NOT make it any easier.

I'm very sorry Pecos. I hope somehow the good memories will show themselves and bring you some comfort.

Pecos, We know what you are feeling and our hearts are with you.

She was SO blessed to have you and Mrs Pecos as her parents. Lilly knew she was well loved and cared for. May she rest peacefully in pet paradise. My heart goes out to you two and I will keep you in prayer. You both have my deepest condolences.

RIP, losing a good dog is always hard.

Dog's don't live long enough, many of us have to burry too many.

When losing a dog I always think of this song. First sung to me by my father when my first dog died...

 

[Shalimar]

Oh, my friend, my deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Lilly. Grief is ever the price of loving. You gave her the best life possible, full of love, warmth, and tender care. I pray the Universe/Divine Feminine sends you peace and strength during this very painful time.

Very sad to hear about your dear Lilly. I know what heartbreak it is to love them during Epilepsy and Cancer. My heart goes out to you, so sorry for your loss, my condolences. I know your other furbaby is grieving. Hugs and love to all of you.

So sorry Pecos for your loss. It’s so hard to lose a pet.

I'm so very sorry to hear this, @Pecos . And yes, it hurts like crazy... in fact, today (April 16) is the Rainbow Bridge crossing date for my dear kitty daughter four years ago. There were 15 years of pure joy, but never a day goes by that the pain isn't there. I know your life was better for having loved Lilly... and definitely for having her love you all those years.

Pecos, may your good memories of Lilly give you comfort in the days ahead, my condolences.

 

[MountainRa]

So sorry for your loss. But glad you gave a dog a wonderful life.

I am so sorry you lost your sweet baby. I have 9 urns of my babies that will one day be mixed with my ashes. I always honor the ones that passed by rescuing another in their memory.

 

[Pinky]

I wish I could give you a big hug, Pecos. Our pets are our babies. They rely on us for everything. Lilly was so
fortunate to be yours, and to have had the love and good life you gave her.

We had to do the same with Willy, our Birman cat for many years. Willy died in my lap, a lap where he spent half his life. It’s something I’ve never forgotten and never will.

So very sorry for the loss of a loved one.....

I'm so sorry for your loss...

 

[Dustbunny]

So sorry for your loss @Pecos . I understand how much they mean, they are family. I recently lost one of my cats of 18 years.

So sorry, Pecos. I'm glad Lilly got to live with you for her time on earth; hugs.
