Lucy
(1)

Lucy was taken from us this day; I couldn't bear to post it until two days later. She had not been feeling well for some days but took a turn for the worse; three hellish days and two trips to the vet did not save her. Roni and I feel as though we have had our guts ripped out and, worse, we don't even get to bury her: the vet decided to send her body off instead of waiting for my response that night. I went back yesterday to collect her so she could be buried with the rest of our fallen friends but we don't even get the satisfaction of a grave and must content ourselves with our memories, frustration and extreme sadness. She put up with a lot in this life and yet maintained her playful and mischievous manner in spite of not feeling well. We loved her with all of our hearts and miss her terribly.
