I am so so sorry - I think that most of us know exactly how you are feeling, and no words can help can they.

I will just say that you did everything possible, and having Lily put to sleep at home is the last and biggest act of kindness.

Run Free at THE Bridge Lily young & healthy again

The Power of the Dog
by
Rudyard Kipling

There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why do we always arrange for more?
Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie--
Perfect passsion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart to a dog to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find--it's your own affair--
But ... you've given your heart to a dog to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!)
When the spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone--wherever it goes--for good,
You will discover how much you care,
And will give your heart to a dog to tear.

We've sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent per cent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept 'em, the more do we grieve:
For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-term loan is as bad as a long--
So why in--Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear?

My heart goes out to you in your loss - you must be devastated. Lily was a fortunate girl to have such loving owners who did their best for her and made the final decision to save her from pain.
Run free Lily xx

I have only just seen your update. I am so desperately sorry for your loss - nothing any of us can say will help you at the moment as it is all still too raw. You gave Lily a dignified end in her own home which many of us couldn't offer our dogs for whatever reason.
Run free sweet Lily and look down on your human family until you meet again. Lots of ((((hugs)))) for you at this awful time.
