Lucy

10 days after the best day of my life, I am experiencing one of the worst days of my life. Today our "girl", our dog Lucy, passed away suddenly. Without us knowing, she said her good byes, walked outside on beautiful sunny afternoon, laid down in her corner of our yard and her life quietly slipped way.



To say that I, we, are devisated doesn't even begin to describe the emotion flowing through our home. I think Justin nailed it on the head when he said she was larger than life and when something lives so fully her time to go came sooner than we would like.



I got Lucy for my 20th birthday and she was my longest "relationship". That dog was with me through SO many ups ad downs and changes. She watched me grow from a scared, confused, and lost 20 year old girl into a 27 year old wife, mother, and happy woman. She was there for all of it and my heart is broken now that she is gone.



I realize she was an animal but that dog had more personality that most people I have met. She was a part of our family and a great love in my life.....and I just cannot believe I'll never get scratch her butt or rub her belly as she props her feet up and sits in her "e walk" position.



Lucile, "poopy", you could be a pain and a real bitch sometimes, but we loved you more than anything and I would never trade I single moment I had with you. It breaks my heart that you were alone at the very end but god I hope you know how loved you were and we will miss you everyday.

  1. Lindsey I am so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, we lost our "baby" last year around this time suddenly. It was so hard to think about not being there for him in his final moments, but I tried to remind myself that he was a very happy dog and loved by so many people. I also try to remember that everything happens for a reason and it must have just been his time. Shortly after his passing we had many changes come our way and he must have known something we didn't. I'll keep you in my thoughts during this tough time.
