Lost Part Of Our Hearts

All that we love deeply becomes a part of us, and Lucy was a big part of our hearts and souls here at Paws Give Me Purpose.

This morning, our Sanctuary was changed forever when we found that our beautiful Lucy had crossed to Rainbow Bridge peacefully in her sleep – it just must have been time, but not something we expected. 

We are not going to mince words here, at almost 17 years old, Lucy was a difficult girl behaviorally. Sadly due to her neglectful past she was very untrusting, but there were these moments where she would become as sweet and cuddly as a teddy bear. Her nickname was Booboo short for Booboo Bear and things here at the Sanctuary are just not the same without her. No more morning alarm clock barks, or after bath “tantrums”, barking while she shook herself out and tried to pinpoint the human who dared to bathe her. 

Although Lucy could not see, she enjoyed her senior days to the fullest, was happy just laying in the sun, enjoying a bully stick or two, and LOVED to eat! Lucy loved food – especially the homemade meals and treats we serve here, so much so she reminded us of a little blurb we once heard someplace, “breakfast, lunch, dinner, brunch, fourth meal, second lunch, third breakfast.” Perhaps she was a food taster in a past life, and is now up in Heaven continuing to eat to her heart’s content. 

Lucy lived her life here in Sanctuary with the maximum amount of pure love she could muster and we miss her. We loved her, spoiled her, and kept her comfortable during her time here at Paws Give Me Purpose Sanctuary. We did everything we possibly could to help her and really thought she would have had more time with us, sadly it was not meant to be.

You will always live on in our hearts Lucy; we were blessed to have known you! Thank you for giving us the chance to love you and show you that not all humans are unkind. 

Thank you to each and everyone you for caring and for being a support to us during this time.
