Lily (aka Junebug)

Lily (aka Junebug)

With heavy hearts, we share this news from mom Meaux about the passing of her beloved Lily (aka Junebug). Please join us in sending our condolences and wishing Lily safe travels across the rainbow bridge.

“I’m writing with great sadness to let you know that our little Muttville alumni, Lily (formerly Junebug) passed away today. She was a truly marvelous little dog and Patrick and I are so grateful for the four years we had with her. She was an unstoppable force of nature who taught us so much. Everything we need to know we learned from our little senior Shih Tzu.

· It’s never too late for a second (or third, or fourth) act.
· Don’t dwell on the past, it will get you nowhere.
· Love with your whole heart.
· Sleep close to those you love.
· Greet every day with enthusiasm.
· Stop and sniff the roses.
· Never refuse a cookie.

We chose the name Lily because we thought that the little withdrawn dog that we brought home would blossom over time. It took a while for Lily to realize that she was in her forever home but once she came out of her shell, she had the biggest personality you can imagine. She ruled the house with a quiet but absolute authority. She had clearly once been a well-loved pet and though no one knows what caused the change in her circumstances, she never let the rough times hold her back. She was such a happy girl.

Lily was the sweetest little dog who left huge paw prints on our hearts. Thank you, Sherri, for rescuing our little girl so that we could share her golden years with her. We loved every minute of it.

xoxo

Meaux and Patrick
