Animal_Lover Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) Not really sure what to write except I feel empty to the core and cannot describe how sad I am feeling. We had to have Lucy put to sleep on Saturday afternoon. Her heart started to fail and she was dying. It came on very suddenly, when I got up on Friday morning I got ready for work and usually she jumps up when she hears me put my shoes on and knows it is time to go outside. She didn't jump up and I immediately knew something must have been wrong. I went into her room (yes she had her own room) and the eyes just said it all, she looked at me as if to say sorry mum....just can't today. We called a vet out to her, who ended up taking her to run some tests but unfortunately it was no good. We brought her home Friday night and spent the whole night next to her hoping things would improve dramatically and then when there was no improvement on Saturday decided it was in her best interest to be put to sleep. It would have probably only been a matter of hours until she slipped away. She was a Mastiff x Dane, she made it to 11.5 years. She was my best friend, I miss her so much, the house is empty without her. I miss her big smile, bark and wags I got every time I walked in the door, her cuddles and companionship. RIP my sweet girl...I love you! Edited April 2, 2008 by Animal_Lover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puppylove Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear that your friend has passed on. Take comfort in the thought that you did what was right for her and that she had a loving life. She loved you and you loved her and she knew it.

Animal_Lover Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thank you, I will probably get the call tomorrow that her ashes are ready to be picked up. Doesn't seem a very fair trade.... I hope she is doing ok up there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppylove Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Just remember sweetie, that the real Lucy was what she had inside. Her Spirit, her soul, I suppose, her Inner Puppy. That's who Lucy was. She will be very happy up there and will be looking at you every hour of every day, just waiting for the time when you can join her. Remember her as she was, not as the last time you saw her. Remember her Spirit. R.I.P. Lucy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crits'N'Bits Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 sorry to hear of your loss Animal Lover - I can fully understand the empty feeling you have - I dont think it ever leaves but just gets a little easier to deal with as each day passes run free now Lucy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal_Lover Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thank you for all your kind thoughts and words. I am still lighting candles for her each night, although I do feel like her spirit has come home. We picked up her ashes on Friday, which are in a really beautiful wooden box. We are having a scattering of her ashes next weekend and little memorial which will be hard but nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulnkat Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I hope that gives you some closure. She looked like a very beautiful and much loved old girl. You will always have the memories RIP Lucy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal_Lover Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) We had a beautiful moment down at her favourite spot by the water. OH and I walked out into the water and scattered some of her ashes. Looked like a big cloud under the water and with that a massive storm hit. She certainly let us know she is up there!!! Same as the night she was pts there was alot of lightening and thunder. It definitely made us smile. She always wanted people to know when she was around...and still does!
