This is Lolli's story ...

My little Lolli became part of my family even before she was born. The story which I will outline in latter postings will show just how much she was meant to be with us and how much of an important part of the family she became.

Born on July 15, 1997, Lolli was a West Highland Terrier with the sweetest of natures. I never once saw her get angry or try to snap at anyone. She loved everyone - and she loved us very much. Her only happiness was to be with us at all times. And having her made us - made me - happy. Lolli got me through difficult times. She was always there to put a smile on my face. That is, up to a very horrible day when she became very sick. Lolli fought so hard to stay with us but she reached a point where her little body could not fight any more. We were all there with her when she passed away at 1:30am on Sunday the 5th of June, 2011.

I always said to her that I would never let her go. Although I may never be able to physically hold her again, I will never let her go in my heart where she holds the most special place of all.
