In memory of Lilley

We lost my beautiful girl yesterday (5th November 2019). She decided to move in with us in 2014 after previous owners had left her to fend for herself. She chose us to be her family and we had 5 very happy years with her. She was so loving and nothing phased her at all, even when the dog hassled her as she slept she would just ignore him no matter how hard he tried to get her attention! I loved my Lilleykins so very much and I wish I could have had the chance to have many more years with her. I just don't know what she had to endure in her first few years of life and how much of that was having to fend for herself. She became unwell and the vet found she had either a very enlarged kidney or mass and wasn't likely to be strong enough to endure the testing and diagnostics and any potential treatment as she was very poorly. She died peacefully in my arms and I am absolutely heartbroken. I feel so guilty for making the decision for her to be euthanized but at the same time I couldn't bear her suffering the way she was. I love you Lilleykins and I miss you so very much. My beautiful girl.
