In memory of Lucy
Lucy died Saturday night
at the ripe old age of twelve and a half. She was the kind of dog who
turned cat people into dog people, but that's only the tip of the
iceberg. She was...
a
swimmer of floods...
a
stealer of firewood...
a
chewer of sticks...
a
killer of rats...
a
protector of farm animals both large and very small...
always
joyful, always eager...
Up
until her last day, she offered us more love than we deserved.
We love you Lucy. You will be
missed.

Oh, I'm so sorry!
Lucy had the kind of life any dog would want --all that freedom and folks who loved her so.
Wonderful wonderful comments here - all taken to heart Lucy was indeed one of a kind and will forever be loved. Thank you for loving her the way she deserved to be loved and giving her the freedom to be Big Boss of the Homestead. She was Queen of all she oversaw and Queen of our hearts!
I was shocked to learn of Lucy's death. I'm so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed all the posts about her and will miss that. I hope you get another puppy (because despite her age I think she was still a puppy), even though another dog will never replace her.
RIP Lucy. Hope you're chasing critters and chewing on sticks whereever you are.
So sorry to hear of Lucy's passing.
She had a good and happy dog's life with you.
I know she will always have a tender place in your heart. -Suzanne in VT
