She loved a good pillow.
I've had her for over 14 years. I had dogs when I was little, but Lucy was the first pet that was officially mine. Unfortunately, that means she's the first pet I've had to put to sleep.
It was a hard decision to make, but her health had been deteriorating over the last year. The other day she stopped eating, and even today she didn't finish her treat....so I knew it was time. I did not want to stand by and watch her go further down hill. So, today I had the day off work. Lucy and I slept in. I skipped her ear drops because she hates getting them. We went for a little walk around the drive way. We sat outside. We cuddled on the couch. All in all it was a nice last day together. Then, at about 4 o'clock I lost it and cried until my mom came around 4:40 to take us to the vet.
It was a long day. I'm glad it's over.
I know tomorrow when I walk in the door from work and don't hear her jump off the couch to greet me my heart will break all over again, but I know I made the right decision.
She was an excellent napper.
Who doesn't love the smell of fresh, clean laundry?
She was always dressed for the occaision.

I'm sorry. I know it was a hard decision to make. Looks and sounds like Lucy had a wonderful and long life. I love the pictures of her sleeping in the laundry. Saying a prayer for you today.

Aw, so sorry you had to make that decision. It must have been really hard for you. Looks like she was a really sweet dog.
ReplyDeleteI congratulate you on making such a good decision for Lucy. It is the hardest thing, I know, from personal experience, but a decision that you should be proud of, having done the best that you could for a loyal, loving friend.
ReplyDeleteDear Share my Garden,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words. I felt horrible for taking her to the appointment but I knew in my heart it was the kinder thing to do. I just could not watch her suffer.
