I'm so very sorry. :cry1 I'm glad you had a good long run with her; I'm sorry it had to end.

 

Godspeed Lilac.

How lucky you were to have shared part of your life with Ms. Lilac. She sounds like an absolutely wonderful sole. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

How lucky you are to have shared all those years with your beautiful, stubborn, hard-headed girl....gotta love the attitude. 16 years...I bet she has some great stories to share with all her buddies at The Bridge. I'm so sorry that it couldn't have gone on and on and on but what an awesome life you gave Lilac.

Oh, Carrie, I feel as if it's the end of an era. Lilac was one of the first Greyhounds I met, back in the old days of Darcy's Kingdom. She was always her own quirky, stubborn, lovely self, and truly the "Mom" of your bunch, in more ways than one. She sure made your life interesting, and you loved her, indulged her, and understood her so well.

Sweet Lilac, I know you have found Treat and Hawk, and maybe some of the old guys who have gone before you, and you're taking names and kicking butt at the Bridge.

Carrie and Matt, I'm so sorry you lost your precious little old lady.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words! We were truly very lucky that Lilac chose us to spend her life with, and make no mistake, our stubborn senior gal called all the shots. She lived an incredible life. I wonder if she had any idea what she was in for when she packed up her old plastic collar and left the farm in Kansas for a new life. She gave us something to smile about every day! I consider myself extremely blessed that we had her for almost nine years. The many tears we've shed just mean that she was very much loved, and all dogs should be missed when they're gone. It means we did at least some things right!

It sounds like you did everything right! As you point out, the unbelievable sadness over her passing is hopefully mitigated by the unbelievable success you and she were! A life like Lilacs is what we hope for when we adopt greyhounds.
