Hi to Lucy
 

Oh Kathie I do understand...our pets don't ask for much and they bring such joy. Enjoy her while you can. I have a 13 yo Sheltie that is deaf and aging but does still LOVE her walks...have had to say good bye to previous Shelties over the years...so hard...so enjoy

Hi Lucy. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm sorry your move to The Villages has been difficult for you, but I know your Mom is doing everything she can to make you comfortable and give you the best life possible. You take care, Lucy, and Kathie too.

Kathie,

My greetings, indeed, to Lucy. It IS tough and as you may recall I had to put down my chow-shepherd 6 weeks after moving to TV. With great sadness and reluctance I followed the advice of a veterinarian I took him to after our move.
Thankfully, Lucy is not in any pain or discomfort. Depressed? Why not get a San Diego Chicken outfit and let her chase YOU around the house. When it's time, you'll know and, hopefully, that won't be for a very long time,yet. In the meantime note the advice of SSMITH who wrote, "enjoy her while you can".

I noticed Lucy's cute picture right off! Thank you for introducing her to us. I'm sorry to hear she is not doing well. I wish I was there to give her some snuggles...and to hug you too. I know what you are going through with having to prepare to say goodbye.

Kathie,
I just know you are the best dog mom. Peace be with you whenever she does leave this world. As I said before and I'll say again, there is nothing as wonderful as a pet.

hi Lucy, You are a sweetie and make a great avatar. Kathie, I agree with the others, you're a good dogie mom, by giving Lucy all the love she needs:)

Thoughts are with both of you!

Lucy
 

Hi Kathie...I know how hard you are trying to help her along here...you're such a caring doggie mom. Enjoy her as long as shes not in pain. We should arrange a playdate with her and Precious!

Hi Lucy:coolsmiley:

Lucy,
I know you and I know your mom. I also know that you couldn't be in a more loving home.

Kathie, What a great idea to honor Lucy! Wishing you both ongoing love and many more happy memories to cherish! Carm

Kathie,
I love Lucy....she is the sweetest dog! You two hang in there. We are thinking of both of you.
In my next life, I'm coming back as your dog, except you either have to stay home with me sometimes or at the very least, teach me to dance so I can go with you!

Biggins and Lolli Pup send a loving woof to Lucy.

Awww....
 

Hi Miss Lucy! I have had the honor of meeting you in person. What a beautiful girl! All my kitties are waving their paws "Hi". Hope to see you soon.
much love, chels :)

Hello sweet Lucy! Pixie Dust and prayers for you and your mom.

Nice to meet you Lucy!
 

Hi Lucy, you sure are a cutie pie!! Hang in there and enjoy lots of cuddling time with your wonderful Mommy, she sure loves you very much. We would love to visit with you, maybe a little walk or just sniff each others butts what us doggies are so well known for. Then lick your sweet face with lots of kisses!! Cant wait to meet you Lucy!!!
Love,
Murphy and Bubba
Oh...and our Mommy too!

Hello Lucy. We met briefly a couple of times because your mom had you penned in the bedroom at her parties.

I know that you are enjoying your siblings and your mother and I wish I were there to give you a little rub down.

I am so glad you have been with your mom for your life. You are sweet and good and dependable and warm and loving and trusting.

We love you Lucy. Stay with us for a while longer.

Lucy, you are a precious little angel that heaven sent down for your wonderful mom to love and enjoy. I hope I get to give you lots of lovin before you decide to leave this world. Your mom has given you the best life any doggie could possibly want and I know you love and appreciate her. Thankyou little sweetheart for being there for your mom for all these years.:kiss

Dear Lucy - how wonderful to meet you! We all know you are loved and that Kathie is devoted to you. Isn't that all any of us can ask of life? So you are a very special girl and a fortunate one indeed. When the time comes, Kathie will be right by your side, I'm sure. Once you pass over the Rainbow bridge, you will run free, & you chase all the squirrels & birds you could ever want, without pain or hinderance I am delighted to have met you ole girl & trust that instinctively you know what a wonderful, loving relationship you have with Kathie.

Betty

Kathie - we are renting a courtyard villa until Nov. 5th. If you want to bring Lucy over for a run in the yard, she will be safe here.

Dear Little Lucy,

I am so glad your person decided to introduce you to all of her friends and their pets at TOTV. That avatar picture sure does make you look like the most elegant of pooches. You are lucky to have had Kathie all of these years. I agree with Betty when she says once you cross over the Rainbow Bridge in the sky everything will be even better than what you had here (hard to imagine I know).

Regards,

Buddy (and Julie)

Woof... Hi Lucy.... I'm real depressed too. My master brought me to this place over a year ago and I hate it... It's too hot, people give me dirty looks just because I look like Marmaduke and weigh 110 lbs, I used to live in the mountains and could run freely in the woods for hours, I could swim in the ponds around our home and not worry about those things he calls gators, I loved it when I could jump and play in the snow. There is not a single thing about this place I enjoy. Keep up your spirits Lucy. Maybe we can meet and woof about the good old days.

Hey Maverick!

Marmaduke is the best!

Hi Kathie,

I just wanted to let you know that I understand exactly what you are going through right now with Lucy. Even though we have given our quite elderly dogs wonderful homes for all these many years, this part is never easy. Annie is 15 and a half now.

Boomer...and from Annie, too.........

Hi Lucy...from Annie....Someday we will meet where we will run and play.

Hi lucy, i wish regis and logan could have you over to visit us and run free in our back yard. Chase some butterflies and dragonflies with them too. You have earned your relaxation years.

Oh Kathie, thank you form sharing your love for Lucy. She is adorable!

Kathie, I am so happy you have received some good news! Maybe we will see both of you when we come down the week of Thanksgiving. ~ Carm

I can't....

I am so happy that you got a good report on Lil Lucy today! I wish I was there already to do the happy dance with you :pepper2: and give you and Lucy a big hug!!
Lucy is such a popular little pooch, I am sure she will have lots of playmates to have fun with! :a040:
Murphy and Bubba are on their way Lucy!! :crap2:

I'll definitely be looking for Lucy at the square when next I am there!

Kathie, I'm just catching up on TOTV and am happy to know that Lucy is doing better. Bring her out when we're out and about.

Glad to hear the news, Kath! I know that you have been really worried for a while about your Lucy. The offer is still open if you want to bring her over here for some "off the leash" time.

woof woof
 

Well my guy wants to be in on the pet avatar thing, and says to be sure to say hi to Lucy for him :). He's also woofing to me saying to be sure to tell her how much he loves riding in the golf cart!!

Kathie, that's wonderful news. Enjoy!
