Sweet little Lucy is gone, she left us yesterday, July 1, 2023. She had been living with chronic renal failure for several years, still we thought we'd have more time.

Our whole house is missing her, she was the tiny little alpha in this pack of rescue dogs. It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that there will be no more play bowing with Taz and Pal to get them to play with her, or sleeping side by side with Izzy, or running to the fence to bark at the neighbor's dogs. I miss taking her to bed with me and her placing her little butt on my shoulder waiting for me to cover her.

Who would think a tiny, 3 lb dog could capture such a huge place in our hearts. She was the undisputed boss in our house. She welcomed Lexi & Pal then Jack and Izzy and Fred and said her goodbyes to Mason and Prince and Lexi and Jack and of course sweet Oscar. Mason was my heart dog and while one dog never replaces another, Lucy came here two months before we lost Mason, and her presence made his loss bearable.

She was a sweetheart.

And now she's gone. God Speed sweet girl, you are missed.
