I just received word that the Anderson's beloved friend Lucy has passed away. Their hearts are broken at their loss. Please pray that God would provide the healing for their hearts and peace for their spirits at this very, very tough time.
It's the only flaw dogs have really, they live too few years. The following is the post I wrote when Lucy came home with them almost 6 years ago.
"A dog is the only thing on this earth that loves you more than he loves himself." Josh Billings
Things are about to change at the Anderson's house.
Lucy the dog is coming to her forever home.
To look at the Andersons you wouldn't think they lacked a thing - they are a great family. Awesome dad and mom and great son -my friend Ian. They even have a cat.
But they've lacked something without really knowing it. They've lacked the love of dog.
From the earliest recorded history, people and dogs have been together. Of all the species that inhabit this earth, none has bonded with humans like the dog. Countless stories have been written about dogs that found their way home over hundreds of miles, that remained faithful to owners who had passed away, who gave everything they had as long as they could. Dogs have given their lives to save us, have rescued us from all manners of harm, and warned us of dangers we could never have seen. They've lowered our blood pressure and given us someone to talk to.
But their greatest work is in giving us a living example of how to love unconditionally.
The love of dog.
Sometime Sunday afternoon, Lucy the dog will come home.
And that home will never be the same.
