Goodbye Lucy

The thing about human beings is that they often make you feel worse than you already do. On the other hand, dogs usually make you feel much better. And the better the dog, the better you feel. Let's just say that Lucy was a very good dog.

The cutest puppy I ever saw.

Lucy1 

The absolute cutest.

Lucy2

Monte didn't know what to think of her at first, but I couldn't keep my hands off her.

Lucy3

That one marble in her head made it really hard to pottie train her. But did I mention how cute she was?

Lucy4

One day she grew these things called legs.

Lucy5

Monte started to come around.

Lucy6

And soon she began to follow the ways of the Dark Lord.

Lucy7

Loved the sun.

Lucy8

Loved her brother.

Lucy9

Loved her naps.

Lucy10

Sweetest dog you would ever meet.

Lucy11

The sweetest.

Lucy12

When we lost Monte, I held him in my arms and whispered in his ear the only words that came into my mind... "You're a good boy. You're a good boy. You're a good boy."

When it was Lucy's turn, I held her in my arms and whispered in her ear... "You're a good girl. You're a good girl. You're a good girl."

Lucy13

And she always made me feel better, right up until they day she left.

Goodbye good girl.
