You may not remember me but I adopted LuLu in 2009.* Lu the Noof,* as she was widely called by friends and family, passed peacefully in my arms after a brief illness just 3 weeks after her 9th birthday. She had been having stomach issues for a week and wasn't responding to medications. An XRay revealed a large liver tumor. I had promised to never let her suffer, keeping that promise was one of the hardest things that I've needed to follow up on.
Lu had a very full life. She was the Princess of my 3 dog pack, keeping order and tattle-tailing when one of her family was out of line. She earned her Canine Good Citizen title, an obedience title and made 2 appearances in the Newf National rescue parades, where she thought she was Best of Breed when she got her medallion She refused to pull a cart despite several attempts to coax her to do so at workshops, she felt it was beneath her as a Royal. For the last seven years she was a weekly therapy visitor at a local Women's Recovery group home. She loved that duty more than any other and she made a difference in the lives of women battling substance abuse. She was happiest when she was just sitting with someone who needed a dose of unconditional love.
I have a huge hole in my heart that will take a long time to heal. I love all of my dogs but she and I had a very special connection. I am so very grateful to have been entrusted with this beautiful spirit to my care, she was a once in a lifetime dog who will never be forgotten.
