We miss You Lily

Sad Story with a Comforting Ending

I am sad to say and it has taken me months to be able to even write this but Lily is no longer living with us. Last November on Black Friday I came home in the afternoon from shopping to what looked like a murder scene. Lilly's face has some marks on it but nothing major but our Haley was bleeding all over the house and could hardly stand. For whatever reason, the vet believed it to be a female dominance issue, Lily and Haley got into a major fight and tried to kill each other. Lilly being much younger obviously got the best of Haley. We rushed Haley to vet and after a couple scares she is now happy and healthy and the vet even said it was a miracle she survived. It was so hard having the two of them in the house together because we were always on edge that something would happen again. I could not find a home for Haley, we've been together for way too long and I was terrified to think what would happen to Lilly if I placed her in a home that I was not familiar with. One of my coworkers had a pitbull that was about 13 years old that had recently passed a couple of months before and he was very distraught about his loss. When he heard of my dilemma, he offered to take Lilly into his home and love her and raise her. As hard as the decision was to let her go, I know I did the right thing. It was not fair to constantly be switching the 2 girls between kennel time and bedrooms. This was not the life they had always known. So, Mike came and adopted Lilly. He and his girlfriend are totally in love with her (she works her magic well) and I get to see her at least once a week when Mike gets dropped off at the office and I give her hugs and kisses and tell her how much I miss her. It's very hard to even look at a picture of this sweet girl because I miss her goofy face so much. That is why I've been off Dogster for so long. I love you Lillith Anne and you will always have a special place in my heart.
