RIP Tillie-boos

[zouzounaki]

My parents' Australian Shepard, Tillie, just passed away this morning. She was nine years old, a good run for the old girl. I can't help a feeling of loss not just for the dog we cared for so much but of the last firm tie we had to our parents. We love you, Tillie!



We bought her in a pet store, we were actually in search of a kitty as one of our senior pet members had just passed. My dad saw her and just absolutely fell in love! I'm not usually as close with dogs as I am with cats but Tillie took to me immediately, curling up against me during the car ride home. She was just a little poof ball back then and we were all so excited. She's been happier and healthier the past year than she ever has been in her life, I believe. And loved above all else!

Peace, Ghani

Sorry to hear about your dog. I still think about my cat, Elizabeth, who passed away six months before Archie (my current cat) was born. I find that it is so much fun to have a pet around, they truly are part of the family and are truly missed when they go.

Big Hugs to you!

They really are part of the family, no question about it :-) The cat I had since I was a baby passed away shortly after we had gotten Tillie and I still miss the smoof-ball!

Big thanks for the hugs!

Peace, Ghani
