Matilda Euphoria

This is Matilda Euphoria. Tilly was brought into our family 8-25-96. She was a Black Sable, and was very energetic. I don't think Tilly ever slept. Tilly was an honory little girl, she liked to nip at your feet whenever you would walk by. Some of her favorite things to do was, she loved to steal lighters,i think her and Sugar was trying to learn how to smoke cigarettes, she also loved to wrestle with her sissy's China and Sugar, and she loved being tossed on the couch so she would bounce. She also loved getting inside of my hand drums, and scratching at the wood, which was a big no no!Tilly did get to meet her younger brothers Rueben and Jerry. Although there time was short together, she taught Rueben quiet a few things, like playing under the rug, and jumping on mommies computer stand. Tilly never really played with Jerry to much, because he was just a baby when she got sick, and we was afraid to have them to close together. We always thought that Tilly was a very healthy little girl, but the day we took China out of the cage, we knew something was wrong. She stopped eating and drinking, and lost alot of weight. We took her to the vet alot, and had some tests done. Come to find out, she also had Adrenal Gland Cancer, and a tumor, along with grieving. The vet pretty much said there was nothing to be done, we could have tried surgery, but even if she survived, she would have still mourned herself to death. So, we let her go to Heaven to play with China and Sugar. It really bothered us alot when Tilly had to go, because it was like a finality to the three muskateers, but i think thats how she wanted it to be. She always wanted to be with her sisters, and thats where she's at now. I miss and love you Tilly Willy.

My little Tilly Willy. It broke my heart when you went away. You was the last of the 3 muskateers.

I miss you, and will see you again. I'll bring along some lighters for you to play with too.
Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong, Under the shade of a coulibah tree, And he sang as he sat and waited till his billy boiled: Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me. Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee And he sang as he tucked the jumbuck in his tuckerbag: You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with me And he sang as he tucked the jumbuck in his tuckerbag You'll come a waltzing matilda with me. Down came the stockman, riding on his thoroughbred, Down came the troopers, one, two, three. "Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerba: You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with me Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag? You'll come a waltzing matilda with me. Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong, "You'll never catch me alive," cried he And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong: Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong, Who'll come a waltzing matilda with me.
"Banjo" Paterson, 1893
This is not the song that Matilda was named after, but, it is all i could find at the moment to put here. I will update it as soon as i find the correct song.
