RIP Our sweet Lily..

[Queen Bee]

I took one of old girls to the vet today.. 15yrs. old and very frail--the vet agreed it was time.. I buried her next to her brother, in the pine thickets were they played as pups... She will be missed... QB

Sleep well Lily.....

We are thinking now of a setter, whose coat was flame in the sunshine, and who, so far as we are aware, never entertained a mean or an unworthy thought. This setter is buried beneath a cherry tree, under four feet of garden loam, and at its proper season the cherry strews petals on the green lawn of his grave. Beneath a cherry tree, or an apple, or any flowering shrub is an excellent place to bury a good dog. Beneath such trees, such shrubs, he slept in the drowsy summer, or gnawed at a flavorous bone, or lifted his head to challenge some intruder. These are good places in life or in death. Yet it is a small matter, and it touches sentiment more than anything else. For if the dog be well remembered, if sometimes he leaps through your dreams actual as in life, eyes kindling, questing, asking, laughing, begging, it matters not at all where that dog sleeps at long and at last. On a hill where the wind is unrebuked, and the trees are roaring, or beside a stream he knew in puppyhood, or somewhere in the flatness of a pasture lane where most exhilarating cattle graze, it is all one to the dog, and all one to you, and nothing is gained, nothing is lost, if memory lives. But there is one best place to bury a dog. One place that is best of all.

If you bury him in this spot, the secret of which you must already have, he will come to you when you call - come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death and down the well remembered path and to your side again. And though you call a dozen living dogs to heel they shall not growl at him, or resent his coming, for he is yours and belongs there. People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper pitched too fine for mere audition, people who may never really have had a dog. Smile at them, for you shall know something that is hidden from them, and which is well worth the knowing. The one best place to bury a good dog is the heart of his master.

I'm so sorry, we lost our sweet girl in November. I still expect her to be standing in the kitchen when I come home, and laying under my feet in the evening. I dream about her. They are such a part of our lives.

Someone once said that their spirits come to us once in a while to keep us company and to let us know that they are ok.
So sorry for your loss. They are our special four legged friends and will be deeply missed. Yes I am there too and have been there many times in the past few years. Young or old when they pass they all have a special place in our hearts. Peace be with you knowing that you did right by her.
