SATURDAY CRITTERS - Tilly the pup - My last farewell

As some of you will know, I have a daughter Gilian who's home is on the Isle of Wight.   That is where Tilly the pup lived.  Always I took her for walks to her favourite beach when I visited.  Sadly she is no longer with us because a some weeks ago, Gillian came down first thing in the morning to find her dead.  Tilly had got into the cereal cupboard and suffocated on the inside bag of one of the boxes.

  These are the last photographs I have of her from my previous visit in March.  The family miss her a lot.






The family had her body cremated and took her remains to her favourite beach when the tide fully out.  They walked out until they reached a rock that Tilly loved to play around and scattered her remains there.   
They renamed the rock - Tilly's Rock.
We will all miss her.

I am linking this post with SATURDAY CRITTERS.

Thank you for visiting and leaving comments on any of my posts.

  5. So sad to hear that this happened Margaret, and know your daughter feels devastated. Lovely to have placed her ashes though in a place that she loved. What a freak thing to have happened.

  7. Oh no!! I am so very sorry. I know that all of you will never forget her. What a strange accident too. She was so beautiful! I hope that after their deep mourning is done, they will think about getting another dog who will bring as much joy into their lives.
