Miss Lucy is gone. Tough choice, but the right one. What I'm watching for the
most with my oldest two dogs is that same inability to get around on their own,
being exhausted all the time, or being in too much pain. At that point it's time

people who loved and cared for Lucy, my heart goes out to you. Revel in the
memories, and get some extra hugs and snuggles from the remaining hounds. This
too shall pass.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
