Kim,
I am so sorry that you lost your precious Lucy. Your kindness to her, changed her whole life and yours. I do believe our pets show us what's important in life. They give their all, appreciate every smile, wag their tails till their whole body shakes with joy just seeing us walk in the door. They leave the most wonderful memories despite the ripping pain at their absence. I lost Abby recently and not a day goes by that I don't come across something that brings her memory quickly back to me.
It's easy to take in the perfect puppy but to take in a senior with lots of medical issues, knowing their time with you will be short is the most generous act of love one could give. I admire you for taking her in and giving her the perfect spot to spend the rest of her life. I'm sure she felt more love than ever before and has left you too with lessons to last a lifetime. I wish there was an easy way to take away the pain and fill the void that hurts soo much.
Hugs
Jackie |
