:: saying goodbye



I write this post with a very heavy heart as I remember the sweetest pup a person could ever have. Sixteen years ago my husband...then boyfriend...gave me the greatest gift ever, a sweet little Dalmatian puppy that I named Lucy. She was the most beautiful Dalmatian I had ever seen, and had the personality and temperament to match. She was my constant companion, and my first baby.


If you've been reading along with me, you may remember her as BIG DOG little basket...




Getting older wasn't easy, but you were always happy and eager to please. I'm so sorry I wasn't with you in your last moments, I always wanted to be there with you comforting you....I know now that my heart couldn't have handled watching you go...God must have known too. I miss having you tag along with me in the gardens and relaxing and enjoying them with me.... I miss you so much. You have my heart forever. I love you.

  1. Oh Carrie, I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful Lucy. My heart hurts for you. I know too well how you feel. Though I have always owned cats I have been where you are now and am watching my 18 year old guy a lot these days as he is really slowing down. I wish that our beloved pets could live as long as we do. It's so hard.
    I'm thinking about you!
    Blessings.

  9. I know how hard it is to lose a special friend. I lost my dog I got out of college and was my best little four legged friend about a month ago. Animals are such amazing creatures and become a part of our family. I'm sure you will all treasure the moments you had with Lucy!

  11. Oh my goodness.....so sad. :( I'm so sorry!! These little pets of ours just get a big hold of our hearts, don't they? The saddest thing ever is letting them go. I had to do that a couple years ago for our dog & it broke my heart. They just provide such an amazing amount of love to us. I hope you know you provided an amazing life for your sweet pup....I'm sure she's watching over you from Heaven.<3
