Oh Sharon. What a beautiful face your little dog had. Its so hard to let them go, they really are members of the family. I love the story you told, it made me get tears in my eyes.

Sharon, My heart goes out to you and your family for the lost furry. They work their way so quickly into your heart, and when you have to let them go, it is a terrible loss. How beautiful that you have a flower that will make you smile as you remember her.

Julie

Thank you Julie and Rita, and a double thanks to Rita for the daylily. I will always miss my "Fancy Face", and I will always have this daylily to remember all the good times we had with Lucky.

Sharon

That is beautiful. Reminds me of my white Maltese Max, who after 17 loving years, I had to have him put to sleep, and right after I brought him home to bury, my white iris bloomed, ( it was October) The iris reminded me of his fluffy tail, and the Iris have never again bloomed in the fall. This was several years ago, your story just reminded me of my Max and brought tears to my eyes.
Cindy

Thank you Cindy, and I will tear up for the rest of my life over Lucky, she was just that kind of companion. I'll bet Max was a beauty.

Sharon

That is such a sad story,and I am so sorry about your little dog.She really does have a Fancy Face.Very pretty face.I am glad you have a daylily that will remind you of her every time you see it.AS if you need anything to remind you of your little dog.I had a little fawn colored Pug Puppy that one of my daughters gave me when it was 6 weeks old.It was such a smart little dog.I had it completly house trained by the time it was 10 weeks old.It had fell off the steps while playing and fell on a water pipe,and I took it to the vet to be sure it wasn't hurt.It wasn't hurt, just bruised up a bit,and the vet gave me some pain pills to give it a few days.2nd pill killed it.so,I didn't have it very long.

I am sorry to hear about your little "Fancy Face" ... but how sweet to have something to honor her memory with. I think we can all relate as most of us probably have had pets that at one time or another we have lost.. I know I have had quite a few furbabies that are now on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.

Very sorry to hear of your family's loss, Sharon. I'm sure you will have many memories to treasure.

Fancy Face truly does have a beautiful face, just like Lucky.

What a great story. She is a beautiful dog. It's such a shame that they can't live as long as we do. She was lucky to have had a wonderful home. The daylily is beautiful.

It reminds me of the day my grandmother died. I lived beside her most of my life. She passed away 2 years ago. I went to Paul Owen's place that evening and picked out a seedling in her honor. It's garden name is "Gran's Memory". She passed away a few days after her birthday. Her daylily always begins blooming the week of her birthday/death. Looks like it may be earlier this year however.

I am so sorry for your loss! Your bloom with her pet name will honor her.

The greatest gift we can give our companions is loving them enough to know when its time to let them go. What a beautiful daylily to compliment a beautiful furry friend.

I am so sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss ... beautiful story. I lost my 13 year old dog in January, have decided to find a seedling to name after him this year.

Thank everyone for there heartfelt sympathies. There will never be another fur kid like Lucky she was truly unique.
