365 days

It is the one year anniversary of the death of my little puppy Lily. She died in the early morning. My mom and I were with her, telling her she was a good puppy and would soon be with Nanny who was her original owner. I remember her last gasp of air and how her body twitched as the life went out of her. It was so sad. Life without her has been sad and I miss her deeply. She was such a wonderful little dog. My father always said that her number one trait was that she was adaptable. She went from being a yappy lap dog with my grandmother to a frolicking puppy with us. The truth is, she wasn't a puppy at all but a very old dog. Because she was a stray, we don't know exactly how old she was but I guess she was nearing 20 when she died. That last year was hard for her. She suffered and I know she is definitely in a better place now. I hope she is with my grandparents and old pets, all of whom left me far too soon.

That was a beautiful post. I also liked the Lily gallery, including the Lily's-eye-view of the cat!

If you like looking at other cute dogs too, a couple of fellow bloggers have put up photos of their own pets. Clarence at Can You Hear Me Now just put up some photos yesterday, while Eric at The Fire Ant Gazette has set up his page so you see a different photo of his mutt each time it loads.
