All Dogs Go to Heaven

See that sweet doggy with her tongue sticking out? That is Lucky. I LOVE that doggy. I called her my Luppy Duppy. My family had for for at least 6 or 7 years...probably more. She was my brother's dog and a favorite of my Dad. She loved me even though i didn't come home often. My sister would hold the phone up to her when I called and I would say "Hello my luppy luppy duppy" and her ears would perk up and her tail would wag. And she'd whimper.

She died today. And I am ok because I said my goodbyes in July. She didn't look so hot then (She had gone blind and had diabetes...) and I honestly prayed that she would be taken soon. She couldn't see me but she recognized my voice even though she hadn't heard it in over 3 years.

Pray for my sister...she's not doin so well. Her cat died 2 years ago and she was the last animal my dad brought home. (That's how we had all our pets growing up...my dad would bring home strays.) Now Lucky is gone and my sister is taking it really hard. The cat died on my father's anniversary of his death. I know it sounds silly but with each one, my sister feels like everything she loves is being taken away and she's taking it really hard. =(

Anyway, I will miss my sweet Luppy Duppy...
