As many of you know, this week we have learned that our family dog, Lucy, is terminally ill with advanced Kidney Disease. She starting showing symptoms of her back legs not working quite right about three weeks ago, and we just chalked it up to old age. She is 12 yeas old now, and we learned from the Vet that the life expectancy of a Golden Retriever is 11-13 years. We have many wonderful memories of her and I am posting a few of those right now. Lucy is still with us today, but failing daily. She doesn't 'look' sick until we see her walk. She has been with us through my pregnancies, resting her head on my belly with each one. And the moment we'd bring each new baby home, she fell in love 10 times over! What a wonderful family member and protective of these kids. She absolutely LOVES them as her own. She will be missed when the time comes, which is very soon.

Wonderful pictures Janelle. What wonderful memories you have of Lucy. Cherish each one.
Well, here I sit with tears in my eyes after reading "Our dear old Lucy" and seeing all the pictures. They are great. Also, what memories seeing all three kids when they were much younger. So cute then. So cute now :)
