On my day off, I did a little cleaning and decorating.
Made some very nice roasted squash and pumpkin soup.
Took the dogs out for a romp.
And bid a sad but fond farewell to Tiger Lilly, the bad, bad boxer who has been with us for 14 years. She was a 9th birthday gift to our daughter. Smarter than the average dog she will live on in the stories we tell of her escapades; stealing a bag of flour and shaking it all over the back yard, destroying FIVE cast iron skillets, opening the oven to steal a huge pan full of BBQ'd pork ribs and opening a door by twisting the knob to get into trash- on more occasions than we can count. She has also been a faithful companion, staunch guardian, snuggle buddy and good friend. She was bossy, opinionated, food driven and delightful. We will all miss her, a lot.

I am so sad. I remember so many of your stories of her youth. Such a dog! Hugs to you all.

You were lucky to have her for so long, and Lilly was lucky to have you all for a family. How many others would have tolerated her antics? Thanks for being a great animal person and example for the rest of us.
So many happy memories. So sorry for your loss Daryl.
