Lacey was the most loving and gentle little dog I ever knew. She gave me a reason to get up, go to work and come home. I look back at the last 81/2 years of such a full life with her..we traveled, she went everywhere with me..helped me with the short marriage I had with my husband who said when he first met her, She’s not a dog..then she became his doggie. When he died, she was there, by my side, loving me.
She so loved the beach and going bye bye and riding in the basket on my bike, her little ears flapping in the wind, and when I got the kitty, she had to learn how to purr..and that she did really well. She beat being very ill with GME, I thought I would lose her then. She had little beds all over the house and followed me to every room. I can’t stop crying for you, Lacer, Best Baby Dog in the World. I talked to you continuously and cannot seem to stop. I was always touching you and really could not make a plan without you in my mind. You are my heart little Lace..I cannot function too well and felt so guilty that I could have missed how sick you were. We were camping at the beach at our favorite spot..You even got to roll around in the sand, which you so loved to do and get all muddy.
If I could change anything in my life it would be to have you here with me. I knew if you ever left it would be unbearable but to have it really happen is truly that. I am making a photo album of you and just thinking of you being in the back yard..is actually hard. I want to go out and dig you up and kiss the top of your cute little head like I used to do every night and hold you in my arms. The most awful and wonderful part of losing you is that you died quickly in my arms and you did not seem to be suffering. The Vet said is was congestive heart failure and I have been blaming myself that I missed something that could have told me sooner..but I know that guilt will not bring you back. I know Rick is taking care of you and you can be his Best Baby Dog until I get there.
I love you, Lacey..your mama…Magic misses you and has been looking all around whenever I say your name. I have been putting the little bits of her food on the floor and now she is eating them…
Best Baby Dog,
