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

As George Carlin once said, it's kind of part of the deal when you get a pet that you're going to outlive it- unless you're 98 and you buy a tortoise! It's still pretty devastating, especially during such a time of turmoil as my life has been for the past year! She'll be missed but definitely, the cyber-hugs are helping! Thanks! :-)

Peace, Ghani
