A Child's Innocence and a wonderful memory of Lilly!!!

I have been trying to get back to normal, do you ever. You just learn someway to go on. I did fairly well yesterday until last eve. then got missing her so bad. She was always here to greet me and putting her head in my lap to be petted.
  I was in my bedroom crying the other eve. and my little grandchildren, had to come in and give me a hug. Riley 6 hugged me first and said, "Maw, everything will be alright, I cried too!",   Then little Cole 4, gave me a great big hug, and said, " Maw it will be alright, Lilly will come back!". How precious, no matter how bad I
feel they have a way of making me feel better!!! On Valentines day, Cole came running and gave me a hug and said, "Happy Valentines' Day baby!!!!" He can make me laugh no matter what.
  I am having Lilly cremated and am going  to sprinkle her ashes at our farmhouse in WV, that is where her playmate Chassy our collie/mix is buried.
  Well I really have to laugh at this story about Lilly and would have even paid money to see it.
A couple years ago my husband was outside doing some yard work, this man came almost hysterical into our yard and keep saying, "that black dog has my money"!!!. My husband said, "Mr., What are you talking about?
 Apparently the guy was walking down the street and Lilly ran up to him and scared him. He must have had his hands in his pocket and when he reached his hand out he had a wad of money in it.
 Well Lilly ran off with his money, and when Ronnie got to her, she had this big wad of money in her mouth.
We both laughed and laughed forever about that, the man did get his money back. He He
 Lilly had the most unsual little barking growl that was the cutest, that was Lilly, RIP my little furbaby!!!!
  I am overwhealmed with all the love and support through this, thank you my blogging friends!!!
