At 6:15pm, Lilo's little body finally gave out on her. Just after the front desk told the vet I was there to see her, she stopped breathing and arrested. I watched while they tried to revive her and bring her back to me. But she was gone. I selfishly begged for her come back to me even though I knew she was tired. I sat and held my baby and told her how sorry I was that I could not fix her and how much I loved her until they came to take her away. My heart feels like it has been ripped to pieces and will never be whole again. I never in a million years thought that snorting pile of fur would make such an impact on my life. She was the catalyst for so many changes in my life and for that I will always be grateful.

I will do a proper post for her in a day or two, but you have all been so loving and supportive that I wanted you to know that she has crossed and she is breathing easy now.

I am so sorry to hear about your little girl. She was so loved and will be missed by many.
Oh Jess ((((HUG))) We are so so so sorry over here and really thought we would hear some good news about sweetie Lilo. We feel lucky that we got to spend the time that we did with her and know that she's entertaining everyone on the other side of the bridge right now with her antics! I bet she's in her Hooter's girl outfit and passing a big tray of wings to all of the sweeties that made it to the bridge before she did!
You were a great mom to Lilo and we'll never forget her!
Love,
Salinger, Laura, Kevin and Holden
We are very sad too.
Our thoughts are with you.
Take care
Lorenza and mom
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. As the proud mama of a 8 year old pug, my heart breaks for you. Pugs are amazing lil creatures and they bring so much love and joy into our lives. She knows just how much her mama loved her.
Oh that Lilo rocked every outfit I made her!!! Through my tears I am remembering how crazy she was in the car that day jumping and climbing all over me...then later at the Posses' house climbing all over my head. She was one of a kind and was lucky to have you for her mama. Don't ever doubt yourself!
I am so very sorry to hear about Lilo crossing. We already miss her so much and I hope you know we are all here for you. We send many hugs to your family.
Hugs

Oh no. I'm SO sorry! Very recently, my 8-year-old kitty was unexpectedly taken from me, so I know the emptiness and pain you are feeling. Even though it is comforting knowing she can breath easier now, it will still take time adjusting to a different way of life for you all. Please allow yourself time to grieve. I found doing a memorial blog very therapeutic. Remember...we are all here for you.
Jess, my heart breaks for you.
No, no, no. We are so sorry to hear this horrible news. Lots of love coming at you from Canada.
We are so sorry to hear this news.
I cried when I saw your Facebook post last night and immediately gave all of my babies hugs and kisses as they helped dry my tears. I always loved seeing Lilo at the KPR events - she looked so cute in her beautiful dresses! You are a great pug mom - she was lucky to have you!
So so sorry, but at least she is breathing freely now. I know we all wish we could take away the pain.
Love,
Christy
"May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of his hand"
RIP sweet Lilo xxx

Although I have never met Lilo I can't hold back my tears when reading about her ordeal and passing. Being a Pug owner myself I can't imagine the pain of losing your dear friend. Rest in peace, Lilo!
Sending you all of our love. You are so missed, Lilo.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. May she run pain free at the Rainbow Bridge xoxo
I am so terribly sorry about Lilo. She was such a sweet adorable little wrinkly face and she brought so much joy to all around her. I am so glad I had the chance to meet her in person, and wish I could be there right now to give you a big hug. We will remember Lilo always. Love Jess, Clover & Chewy xo
My eyes are leaking all over the floor now! Jess, I am so sorry to hear about Lilo crossing the bridge - I was SURE the power of my paws would work and she would be all better today. Heartbreak is a tough thing to handle.

Hi there
Thank you so much for naming a cookie after Roxy. that is just the coolest thing. We appreciate the thought.
We hope you are doing well and if you ever want to borrow Roxy to test any of your new treats, just let me know. I'll see what I can do to get her to you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your sweet Lilo was a wonderful puggie, and I'm happy to have known her through your blog.
Hugs to you,

I am so very sorry for your loss... she was obviously so adored by you and you were very lucky to have each other. I just lost my family dog a few weeks ago - I truly know how it feels to have your heart broken into a million pieces. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this terrible time.
Jessica, sincerely sorry for your loss of Lilo. What a life that dog had! So loved....God bless you. You've shared a stupendous blog on the life and times of this precious one.
Jess, so sorry about your Lilo, she was a precious girl loved by many. I'm glad Maggie will be celebrating her birthday with her at the bridge! Too many losses I was saying before Maggie passed, but I'm so grateful for the time we had with them.
Lydia
Just stopping by to say hello - we think of you often and hope you are doing OK.

Goodbye sweet angel. You will live forever in our hearts. Now you can run and play and bark and nap while you wait for your mama. Winnie Wiggles has a nice soft cloud she's saved just for you, dear little girl.
