Lucy joined our family in 2010; from day one, we knew Lucy belonged with us and that feeling only grew stronger over the 14 years she was the heart of our family. She was loyal, sweet, and, even as a puppy, wise beyond her years. Lucy struggled with her health for many years. She was diabetic, partially blind and deaf, and had cancer, yet Lucy was the most resilient dog. Lucy persevered through daily shots of insulin, endless medications, and a tough surgery to remove a large tumor. Even in her last days, we were convinced she would somehow beat the odds again. I am sure she would have kept pushing through, wagging her tail the whole time, but it was time for our sweet Luce to rest. Some of Lucy's biggest joys: laying by Dad in his office, the fireplace, her teddy bear, carrots, her sister, Ruby (most of the time), cuddling on the couch, walks, and Mom (anywhere Mom was, Lucy was). Lucy is home to us, and it is hard to imagine life without her by our side. We love you and miss you so much, Lucy.
