Lucy and Ruby - girl friends, pup mates

22/02/2025

My darling Lucy, we finally got round to agreeing that we need to have another pup. It has been heartbreaking coming to terms that you were no longer here and the hole you left in our hearts and lives needed to be filled. I am nervous and excited at what the future holds for us and our new bundle of energy that is arriving with us on Sunday. I think you would have liked Megan and I hope she will bring as much joy, love and healing as you brought to me in the 15 years we had together. We still love you, talk and think about you all the time and we hope Megan will learn how to be a good, fun and happy girl just like you 🥰 x

Dogs die. But dogs live, too.
Right up until they die, they live.
They live brave, beautiful lives.
They protect their families. And love us.
And make our lives a little brighter.
And they don't waste time
being afraid of tomorrow ..

To the memory of silent footsteps
That beside us once did fall
We pause but for a moment
And in reverence do recall

For the hand that held the leash
They served our country well
Therefore we who do remain
Will their stories ever tell.

Some did come home
Along with us, tails held high
While others left empty collars
And in foreign soil now silently they lie

They are forever our guardian angels
Clad in soft and coloured fur
As present now in our hearts
As they ever and always were.

Footings are in for the arbor in position now. Just need to wait a while for them to bed, then some paving to finish it off. Then I can finally plant the roses we bought in memory of our Lucy dog. Been a busy day sorting out our flower beds for new plants to go in, lovely rhododendrons and hydrangeas. The front garden is really taking shape and will be awash with colour when the new plants flower next spring 🪻🌺🌹

Somewhere between hello and goodbye there was so much love 🥰

A whole week since I stroked our Lucy’s velvet ears and kissed her beautiful face. I am so grateful to all those who have messaged and supported me through this difficult week. I feel so very lucky to have the family and friends I have 🥰 came home today to find that John and Ed had laid the lawn and now Lucy’s garden is starting to take shape ❤️

Our sweet princess 💖🩷💕 ###
