Lynn, thank you, very sad, Bev will be shattered and I for one will fully understand if she needs a few days or longer to gather her thoughts. It was such a shock when we lost Baruska and even now OH doesn't want to talk about it.

Lily didn't make it Harvey

O.k here goes;
I raise my glass for Lily,in celebration of her life and the joy and love she brought to Bev and her Family xx
And also to TW and Mabs,wishing them a healthy,happy journey together on the road to motherhood

To LILY and MABS...cheers everyone xx

You're friend should try selling a property in Czechland Luckily we are not in a hurry, OH thinks it might make a nice summer retreat, I'm not so sure but we shall see what develops over the next year or so, and who knows, maybe I'll just 'pop my clogs' and it will be someone else's problem

I may have panicked a bit over the surveyors report, it's to do with the flat roof extension, seems like the roofing felt has reached the end of it's life, but it's not such a major problem after all. As you say, better to know about it now rather than think everything is good

Raising my glass to Lily and to Bev because I can only begin to imagine how she feels. Been there myself so many times, it never gets easier and you never get used to it.
Dogs should live as long as parrots
Makes me feel so very guilty with my news to be honest

Ah no TW,you know rightly Bev would be delighted for you
So,have you been calling all the future new mums and dads? All over the moon I'm sure

TW, I had a feeling that you might be feeling a little guilty - but look at it this way, as one dear life ends so you have brought about new ones (with a little help from Cruz and Mabs!).

As I said before, most of us know exactly what it feels like to lose a beloved dog, and Bev might not feel up to coming back to the site for a little while because it's hard to see life with dogs carrying on when your own is shattered. However, I am sure that she would tearfully join us in a glass of champagne to toast both Lily and Mabs.

What a lovely idea shall we say a weekend don't mind boxes, I could help move them around

So very sad, I think she did have some painkillers at home which I hope helped Lily in her last moments. I can't say more, I'm tearful as well.

What a crying shame that such sad news should come on the day when other good news has been received. I don't think any of us can forget what pain we share when we lose are closest love ones as our dogs have been. Bev my heart goes out to you and for Lily too to know she is no longer in pain is good so run free precious Lily run free sweetheart, Bev, I know your love goes with her. So sorry you have had such a bad day.

TW, I can imagine you feel so guilty at sharing your joy over Mabs' news but it is nobody's fault that good news should be followed by sad news. We have a lot to be thankful for today. There was your good news and the good news of Gucci so there has to be a balance that is life. Be thankful you have been blessed by new life on the day that Lily made room for more life in our beautiful Dogsey world.

Sleep well Lily our beautiful girl.
