Lucy by Aimee Coleman / Mommy

When I first saw Lucy at the animal shelter I knew she was the one. We bonded so quickly. She was only five weeks old and weighed less than a pound. She was so precious and seemed so helpless. I was determined to protect her from any harm and love her with all my heart. She followed me every where and slept curled up on my neck every night. I loved her like she was my baby. She was my baby.

At the sign of any problem I took her to the vet like an over protective mom. A few weeks ago she was diagnosed wrongly with a UTI. She had been eating normally and remained active until this morning. She couldn’t walk or even hold her head up. I knew something was horribly wrong. It was so sudden and I am still in shock and disbelief. I rushed her to the vet and he diagnosed her with FIP and told me there was nothing he could do. I literally almost passed out. I kissed Lucy goodbye and told her I was so sorry then the vet euthanized her. Watching her stop breathing was the hardest thing I have ever done.

Lucy, I loved you more than I ever thought possible. I don’t know how I am ever going to sleep without you next to me.
You are so missed, Baby Lucy…

 

Loving you forever,
Lucy
