Steve and I said goodbye to our dear Lucy girl at
10:30am on Saturday February 20th.
When we arrived at the vet she was wagging her tail, and was so happy and
loved on all the folks she saw. As always she was completely in the
moment.
She laid down on her favorite blanket, and she assured us that it was okay
and we were doing the right thing at the right time. I held her sweet face
in my hands and looked into her eyes. She was gone so quickly and
peacefully. She just....stopped.
There was a mixture of relief, heartache, and a river of tears.
We hugged her one last time, then they took her. They wrapped her up, put
her remains in a box and wheeled her out to us. There was a small pink
sheet of paper with her name and actual paw print on it like a
fingerprint.
Upon seeing that, I lost it all over again.
Then we drove out to the Basset Rescue in Woodinville. Alexa graciously
offered a place for Lucy to be buried on their land. We took her out of
the box and put her in the grave. She was wrapped up in her favorite
blanket, we had tulips and put them all around her on the blanket, said
goodbye one last time, and covered her up. It was perfect.
In my dreams you are running, barking at all the dogs and keeping them in
line.
Lucy, we had a wonderful two years, thank you for coming into our lives.
We were glad to give you a forever home. I love you. |
