“After almost 15 wonderful years together, we said goodbye to our sweet Lucy on Saturday evening. We feel blessed to have nurtured the love and trust of such an intuitive and special little soul. Lucy was our constant companion and playmate for more than half of our marriage, and a major source of comfort through challenging times. Her passing has left a big hole in our hearts.
We have spent the last few days reflecting on the countless good times we shared with her, the things that made us laugh, the things that warmed our hearts, and especially what Lucy taught us about ourselves, about relationships, and about life. We thought we’d share them with you because we think they’ll give you insight into why we loved her so.
*Take a break to play at least twice a day
*Exercise until your tongue hangs out
*Don’t pass your water bowl without taking a drink
*Don’t settle for kibble if you know there is something better in the fridge
*It’s okay to be afraid to go to the doctor, but don’t run out the door before getting the biscuit
*Cuddle close with your pack
*When someone is down, just curl up next to them and keep them company
*Have a healthy respect for the big dogs, but don’t let them push you around
*A quick sniff is often all that’s needed to distinguish friend from foe
*Chase what you desire with abandon
*A nudge on the leg with your nose is more effective than a bark when you need attention
*Be enthusiastic every time you see the people you love
*Just hanging out in the grass is a good way to spend a sunny day
Thank you for all the love and support you’ve shared with us – it helps a lot.
-Love, Gina & Roger
