Atilla


In memory of: Atilla the Hun

Died January 9, 1996

Atilla, a black llasa of twelve years, blessed our family with happiness and laughter. He lived with mom, dad, me and my brother in Timonium Md. Every summer weekend we traveled to the beach with him. He loved to sit on windows sills on Bering Rd. in Ocean City. MD and watch all the beachgoers walk by.

He loved chewies and enjoyed laying on the floor in the living room. He greeted us each time we came home at the end of the day. He had an adorable underbite and looked very handsome after returning from the groomer.

He slept under my night-table next to my bed every night-on his back with his tummy facing up.

Atilla ("Tee-tee")made a difference in our lives and was part of our family. He loved playing with Christmas wrapping paper on Christmas mornings.

In 1995, we didn't have a chance to spend Christmas with Tee-tee. On December 24, 1995, he started going down hill. He passed away due to complications from major spine surgery on January 9, 1996. We buried Tee-tee in our parents backyard. To this day, he is truly missed.

We have two dogs now--Alexander the Great (following the long named theme--like Atilla the Hun) and T.J. (which stands for Tilla Jr.--he's a white llasa) :)

Our thanks to Atilla for enriching our lives and helping us understand how special and short life is. We will meet again and when we do, we'll hold you tight. Til then, be good and run around in those circles chasing your tail (you loved that tail of yours!!).

Love,
The Phipps Family
