Lulu

[mortdooley]

About five years ago our Vets office called us to ask if we knew someone willing to adopt a seven year old Newfoundland. Her owners were a middle aged couple with grown children and getting divorced because mom ran off with another man and dad was moving to an apartment. Naturally we would take her and she came to live with our son and daughter-in-law. For all these years she has had a pampered life in a loving home but today may be her last. She has a mass on her lung and it is not treatable. She has lost weight, refuses to eat and her Vet gives her only a few more days at best. It is bitter sweet losing her but knowing she had many happy years is some comfort. Don't morn the loss but celebrate the life.

So sorry to hear that, but you are right, celebrate the time you had together and measure her life in love.

I'm so sorry to read this news. I lost my Lulu last month, similar scenario, at 9 she stopped eating and I had to let her go. She was letting me know that she had taught me all that she was supposed to and it was time for her to 'go home' for a rest. If it gives you comfort, I'll ask her to meet your girl and show her around the clouds.

They leave big holes in our hearts that we fill with memories.

Thanks, the decision was made to let her go and she went to the rainbow bridge this afternoon. The Vet and staff were both gentle and professional.

Very sorry for your loss. Was she 12? Sounds like she was very loved.

Lulu was 12 last September, she began having noticeable health issues for about the last year.
