My beloved Tilly crossed over the rainbow bridge yesterday. My heart is ripped open and I feel gutted. I’m gonna miss little Matilda with all my heart. She was the sassiest most joyful and spirited little dog ever. She was all heart and my constant companion . She gave comfort to many .
I am so grateful for our 11+ years together and all the love that surrounded her and beauty on her last day. RIP my sweet pickle. You will always be deeply loved and remembered.
