I am so sorry for your tragic loss!

We lost 2 dogs in December 2009. My wife was so upset after the 2nd one passed that she had a stroke that night. She has heart and blood pressure problems anyway and this put her over the edge. When she got out of the hospital, the first thing she wanted to do was get another puppy. She couldn't walk and could barely talk, but she made me take her to get a new puppy. We honestly believe that getting Lilly helped my wife recover from her stroke. After almost 2 years, we still miss them terribly, but we feel that having the other dogs has helped us cope with the loss of Misty and Meadow.

Rest in peace sweet little Elly May! You will be loved and missed.
