A Sad Goodbye

In the early morning hours this past Saturday our precious little dog Lucy got very sick. A few short hours later she died at the emergency pet hospital. This sudden, rapid decline took us by complete surprise and has left a huge void in our family. We've spent the weekend mourning the loss, telling stories about her and just laying around in a combination of grief and shock.

She was such a big part of our lives. She wanted nothing more then for all of us to be together, all the time. Nothing was ever quite right unless the family was together - and nobody else was around. She wasn't crazy about others.

This is Lucy with our first rabbit, Mr. Miranda. She absolutely loved being around him. She would get so excited when Mr Miranda would approach her that she would freeze and have to look away.

Wherever Mr Miranda was, Lucy was never far behind.

And when he would lay down for a reset, she would too.

She loved being comfortable and often found comfort in the oddest positions.

She has been with me day and night since I had to stop working. She followed me around, comforted me was feeling particularly bad, she would lay with me when I needed to lay down, sit with me when I was working on a project...

She was always very protective of me. It was as if she knew how delicate I am and took it upon herself to make sure I was okay.

She was also quite a looker.

I like to think we gave her a great life. After all she had her own person with her all the time. She had two little rabbit brothers, 3 walks a day, regular meals, good health and plenty of comfy spots to sleep.

We loved her - enormously - and we'll always miss her.
