In tribute of Lucky Pup...
My Mom's pup had to be put down today. She took Lucky into the vet for various reasons. Lucky was 12 years old and she had been sick for quite some time. The vet thinks it must have been a brain tumor and told my Mom that Lucky wasn't the same dog anymore.
Needless to say my Mom is heart broken. Lucky was a very energetic and happy puppy. She ran around like crazy, made us laugh and became the unconditional friend my Mom needed during lonely times. It will take a long time for my Mom to come to terms with this loss. She is grieving, feeling lost and guilty, but I believe she is extremely brave and that this was a selfless act.
