My Sweetie Lucy




My precious dog Lucy died in my arms this morning. She has had a heart murmur for 2 years and I was told then that she wouldn't make it 6 months and she made it 2 years. We loved her so much and it was hard to lose her. It was especially hard to see my husband cry when he told the girls that she won't be waking up. The girls keep asking where she is. They don't understand.

We packed the girls in the car at 8:30 this morning and drove across town to the Animal Shelter where they will perform the cremation. We opted for a private cremation so that someday when we have a house, we can give her a proper burial.

I miss her already. It was strange to come home and not have her right there at the door wagging her tail. She was such a good dog and will always have a place in our hearts.

Cali, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. What a sad thing to have to go through and also explain to children. It made me think about my own dogs and how I hope they stick around a long time. I love coming home to them wagging thier tails at the door. It is priceless.
