My dear, sweet, best little greyhound girl crossed to the Bridge on Thursday
morning, 6/14/07. She lived 2 months post Osteosarcoma diagnosis. She had
a very good day on Wednesday. She ran in the yard and rolled in the grass,
she played with her stuffies and smiled a good bit. About 8:00 pm
Wednesday she began to go downhill very quickly. We slept on the floor
with her, giving her what comfort we could. The next morning, we helped
her pass peacefully. She is finally pain free, but she leaves a
tremendous hole in our hearts and lives.

We adopted Lilah in May of 2000. She picked us out - she ran up to Joey
and gave him a big kiss on the lips. We later learned that she was very
selective in the kisses she gave out, and that she was working very hard
to get us to notice her. Thank doG she did, because she was the absolute
perfect dog for us. People always asked me if we rescued her and that may
have been, but truthfully, she rescued us right back.

Lilah was wonderful with children and the elderly and she worked as a
therapy dog for 3 years. She very quietly spread her Lilah-love and brought
smiles to the hearts of many. In the last year, she concentrated on being a
therapy dog to my parents, spending her days at their home (while I went to
work) and wrapping them around her paw.

Lilah was about the fuzziest greyhound in the world. We always joked that
she was crossed with a husky. She loved the snow and would go swimming
in the ocean in the winter.

She made me laugh and smile everyday. She was my first greyhound and I
feel so grateful for the 7 years we got to spend with her. Words can't
express how much I love her.

So goodbye my Doodlebug, my Noodle, my Lala, my Princess Pooh Bear.
I love you and miss you and hope to see you again. In the meantime, find a
comfy cloud and watch over us.  You are our angel now.
