Ode to Jill

My little Jilly was lost on January 20. She got out like she usually does, however this time she was not wearing her tag and she did not return. Despite our efforts in looking everywhere and posting signs she has not been found. My hopes are that she is being taken care of by another family.

Jilly was my birthday present from Scott in 2000. He new I wanted a lap dog and Jilly fit the bill. I had gotten Jack for Scott as a wedding present and what better name went with Jack than Jill. She is greatly missed and will never be forgotten.

We have been sad, but Jack has taken the biggest hit. He hadn't eaten for days so we decided that to help mend our broken hearts and give Jack another little pal we adopted a new little family member.

Unfortunately I gave Charlie the go ahead to name her. "mommy her name is PrinCESS."
Yes, he exagerates the last part of her name.

Princess has only been with us one day, but I think she will do fine. She is great with the boys and absolutely adores Jack. Jack is still a little skeptical, but he will adjust.

It's funny how we spend so much time, money and emotions on animals. But I think that God gave us dogs so that we can enjoy His creation and learn from them. With Jill I learned responsibilty and loyalty, and I thank God for the time that I had with her.
