" Lucy " 1988 -------- 1997
Cocker Spaniel
Lucy was an old dog from the time she was born.
The day we adopted her our vet looked her over and stated
that we should take her directly back to the breeder because
she had cataracts (at 5 weeks old!) and would certainly be
blind by two years old. Not only did Lucy go blind
but she went deaf by about 4.
We had her cataracts removed and an operation on her ears,
but it only bought her a little relief.
We had Lucy for 10 years but when she was entirely blind and deaf,
she had a stroke and lived in a lopsided world for another
year or so before arthritis also struck.
We adored Lucy and miss her terribly. She was the sweetest,
most patient loving gentle dog we had ever met.
My little children thought she was an angel.
And now she is.
