In Loving Memory of Lucy the Beagle

Lucy, my beloved beagle had a heart as big as her howl. Her sweet demeanor and stubborn charm, brought immeasurable joy to all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

Born in Ohio in September 2007, Lucy swiftly became the beloved companion of my mom. Whether snuggling in a heap of laundry or cocooned beneath a soft blanket, Lucy’s affectionate presence radiated warmth. Yet, if you happened to be a squirrel daring to invade her backyard domain, beware of her spirited (and loud) protests!

In 2016, Lucy embarked on a new adventure in Arizona alongside my mom, enjoying the desert sun and actively pursuing geckos. Sadly, my mom died in June 2021, when I promised that I would care for Lucy and always keep her loved and protected. Lucy, Bindy (my other beagle), and I embarked on a journey to California, where Lucy embraced her twilight years with dignity and joy.

Lucy swiftly adapted to her new environment, finding solace in familiar routines. From leisurely strolls through SF streets to afternoon siestas and exploration of all that California life had to offer, Lucy approached each day with curiosity and motivation. And never, ever lost her motivation for food!

Throughout her sixteen remarkable years, Lucy embodied pure love, leaving an indelible imprint on the hearts of all who knew her. She was the epitome of gentleness, and my greatest hope is that I gave her the same tenderness and affection she so generously bestowed upon me.

Though Lucy is gone, her love and companionship will forever be in my cherished memories. Rest peacefully, dear LuLu. You are dearly loved and will be profoundly missed.
