Its heartbreaking when we lose a pet as we all know but I always think its even harder when we don`t know what has happened to them, thank goodness for the micro-chipping, at least it can help sometimes.....

21 Apr, 2012

 

Oh Terra it had me crying all the way through it, such a lovely story and how delighted Lily was to be home and her family, especially the children to see her;0)))

21 Apr, 2012

 

she just knew them straight away Lily just knew.....oh Terra......xxx

21 Apr, 2012

 

That had me crying as well, what a fantastic out come, and the kids faces when they saw her said it all.Have a long and happy life Lily. :o)) xx

21 Apr, 2012

 

I agree Sue ... the "not knowing what has happened .. where the pet is" ... that must be unbearable ...

Hi Carole ... Yes .. a real tear-jerker ...
.. Lily so happy to be home :o)))

Yes, Pam ...
....Lily knew her family immediately, didn't she. xxx

So right Tulsalady .. those children were thrilled. They all deserve many happy years together. :o) xxx

21 Apr, 2012

 

I just wonder, as I,m sure the family has, where has she been for nearly two years, she seems fit and healthy thank goodness....

21 Apr, 2012

 

Yes, Pam ... Lily looks quite chubby ...
"if only they could talk" ...

21 Apr, 2012

 

Thanks TT, you know how to pull on a dog lovers strings. OH is laughing at me now cos I was really sobbing!

21 Apr, 2012

 

Hi Willinilli ..
Imagine realising your dog was missing from your garden ...
I can't bear to think of it ...
So glad it was a happy ending for the family :o)

21 Apr, 2012

 

Such a sad and happy story at the same time,Terra..lovely to see all their happiness bubbling over..I was so overcome,I had to have a chocolate digestive for comfort, ! Lol..thank you,for this,Terra...lovely Lily :o)

21 Apr, 2012

 

I know, I've gone into complete panic mode before when ones just gone out of sight up the park for a few mins.
So true what Lincslass said, sad when we have to say goodbye, but to not know where or whats happened to them..... Dont want to think about it.

21 Apr, 2012

 

Hi Sandra ...
yes it was so nice to see the happy ending :o)

Yes, Willinilli .. I worry when my dogs are out of sight for even a moment !

21 Apr, 2012

 

What a great story and a lesson to be learned....never give up!! We lost a cat once (20+ years ago) and it was only the other day we were just talking about her and what ever happened to her. Pets will never forget a loving home.
BTW...had a wee tear too!!!

21 Apr, 2012

 

What a brill story, well sad aswell but so pleased for a happy ending, it just shows chipping your pets does pay off.

21 Apr, 2012

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. Brought tears to my eyes.

24 Apr, 2012

 

Hi Stroller and Becker ...

Glad you enjoyed the story. When I first put this on GoY, the video had about 300 visits... it now has 8,000 !

24 Apr, 2012

 

Cried tears of happiness seeing the video, TT, how lovely to have such a happy ending. One very happy dog (what a waggy tail!) and one happy family - great 'feel good' blog :)

25 Apr, 2012

 

What a great story and wonderful to have a happy ending. The video is very tearjerking, an amazing story, I wonder where she was all that time, does anyone know?. Reminds me of the time Mrs. Tommy escaped from her pen and went out the gate, crossed two roads and was met by a lady busily walking down a pavement, luckily the person who found her was an animal lover and took her home, when we eventually found her after three days she was happily munching away in the rockery. The family must have been so worried and for nearly two years. Good luck to them in the future.

25 Apr, 2012

 

That was lovely have to say had a cry it was so lovely to see them all re-united and what a happy doggy she was. A joy to watch and so refreshing to have a happy ending. Thanx made me smile :)

28 Apr, 2012

 

Glad you enjoyed this, Gee, Bob and Jewells ...

I guess nobody will ever know where Lily was all those months. Good thing, Bob, that your Mrs. Tommy was found safe .. good meals on a rockery ;o)

28 Apr, 2012

 

Such a happy tale Terratoonie (both of them) :-))

Fabulous story, when does the film come out?

2 May, 2012

 

Hi Treetop...
... almost 33,000 visits to the video now ..
only 300 visits when I first wrote this blog.

Surely that huge number can't all be due to GoY ? !

LOL.

Yes, would make a great movie ;o)
