I know i havent really posted much on this group before and you wont know about Lucy but she was my 15yr old dog who i have had since i was 8 years old. She crossed rainbow bridge last wednesday, it has taken me this long to get the courage to post it on here.
She had a heart murmur from being a puppy but it wasnt until she turned 11 that it began to cause her a problem, we thought that was it then, but she managed another wonderful 4 years on heart medication.
Ironically it wasnt the heart murmur that made her ill on that last day, the vet said she had tumours on her chest. It was very quick, she was only ill for that one day and the euthanasia was very peaceful, she just laid in my arms.
I just wanted to share this with everyone as i know many people on here have gone through the same.
Thank you
