Lily Bart 11-12-07~04-13-09
Lily Bart traveled over the Rainbow Bridge this morning at 8:20 a.m.
We had been slowly getting her accustomed to becoming an indoor fur baby by letting her in at night and playing outside during the day. Lily was doing so fantastic; never jumping off the bed, snuggling up next to me, not chewing on anything that was not hers, and hardly any accidents at all. As per her daily routine, I let her outside for her breakfast and play time. Unknown to me, someone had gotten into our backyard during the night (quite frightening in itself) and left the gate open. I know that the gate was closed because our girls had not been outside all day yesterday and Lily was still in the yard when we let her in last night.
I was getting ready this morning when I heard Lily start screaming outside. I thought she was in the backyard, but I was wrong. I ran to the front of the house and someone had hit Lily and drove off fast. My neighbor said she saw it happen and Lily tried to get to our yard but collapsed just off the curb. When I got to her, she was alive and saw me. Her little heart started beating rapidly and I could tell that she knew I was with her. I held her until my husband got home from taking our three daughters to school. Once he arrived, we took her to the vet, but it was too late. Lily died in my arms.
My husband and I took Lily to our new house in Arcadia, where we will be moving in a month. She is buried in a beautiful spot in the garden area, where I can sit by her and plant some pretty flowers for her to see from heaven.
Lily was my best friend who loved me unconditionally. She means the world to me and I miss her more than anything.
We are not sure when we will get another Corgi, but I know that there will never be another Lily Bart.
Please say a prayer for me, if you think about it. This is a very hard time. I graduate in less than a month and that stress alone had made me struggle. Losing Lily is the final straw for me.
Thank you so much to everyone here who has befriended me and Lily Bart. I will continue checking in on you all, and hopefully some day soon I will have another fur baby who I can introduce you all to.
Please remember to always make sure that your fur babies are safe and secure. It was a mistake that I will regret for the rest of my life.
Much love to everyone!

Thank you all very much for these thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it so much, and my family does as well. This has shocked my girls; they don't realize that she is truly gone yet.

Oh how terrible. My heart is aching for you and your family. I cannot imagine having my furbaby go to rainbow bridge in my arms. I am sure she knew how much you loved her.
