Happy Birthday Lilly!

Hi Everyone,

Yes, that's right...today is Lilly's 1st birthday. Wow, it's been a year-hard to believe.

As some of you know, we lost our first baby, Ally, last November to cancer and, shortly thereafter, the first week of December, we brought Lilly home. She was a little, tiny puffball who helped us heal our hearts. We will never forget or stop loving Ally, but we have put all our love into Lilly and we are so thankful to have her in our lives.
Here she is as a 4 month old with her new bed!





Here she is today on her 1st birthday!

She's small for a Lab-only 61 lbs. versus her older sister's 97 (when she was healthy) and tiny compared to Ally. I wished for a 'puppy forever' and I have one. I know that Ally sent her to us and we are so blessed to have gotten her when we did.
If you are considering a dog, consider a Lab. They are THE BEST! We adopted Lilly from www.excaliburlabradors.com and they are a family breeder in Southern MA. This family LOVES dogs and breeds yellows, chocolates, blacks and Bernese Mountain Dogs.
And, if you already have a beloved cat or dog-consider getting health insurance for them. It's really affordable (about $20 per month) and covers all the 'bad' stuff (like cancer) so you can take care of your beloved family member should anything happen. Visit www.embraceyourpet.com and you'll see the policy we have for Lilly. We have the best pet healthcare (Tufts in Grafton MA) in the Country and you won't want to deny your furry family member in the event they get sick.
So, here's to Lilly on her special day-Momma and Daddy love you!
