Tilly - it was never my intention to keep a puppy from Ellie's 2007 litter - but, she was the smallest of the litter and we thought we'd lost her at 24 hours old. She was not the strongest of puppies and so it was decided that Tilly remain here with us. She is a gorgeous girl - quite a character and still full of mischief - which hopefully she will grow out of.
Tilly recently passed her Kennel Club Bronze award and is now working towards her Silver.
Sadly Tilly became ill at a year old and had various tests done and went onto medication. Relief from this only lasted a very short while and although we tried several types she was obviously not destined for a long life with us. We agreed with our vets that they would help us make the decision when they thought she should be given peace.
Tilly was given sleep in our arms at home on 14th August 2008 - just 17 months old. She wasn't able to spend long with us, but her memories live on and she will never be forgotten.
Rest now Tilly - grow strong - until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.
