Speaking of memorials, we got some sad news on Friday. One of our own, Lucy Ann, a gi-normous beee-utiful eleven year-old poodle, is prancing through the West Village no more.
Lu, as she was called by her friends, was a mighty good sport -- she traveled, hiked, snuck onto movie lots (one of my favorite pastimes!) and generally reigned supreme over two of the greatest cities in the US. I've always been a sucker for those big-boned bi-coastal gals -- I'm sure we'd have gotten on quite well.
Her extended family, Laura, Howard, Barb, Jim and especially little Ollie are missing her dearly. Ollie is a wire-haired dachshund -- and anyone who knows me knows about my predilection for that breed of beast -- they are the party animal of the AKC. In fact, I don't know how they got the hat off Ollie for this photo.
I wish I could send Ollie this painting.
It's by Gina Percifull and I think this is what dog heaven is like -- juggling dog bones at sunset.
I'm always reminding my human friend that she's darn lucky to have me, but once in a while I'll admit -- I'm pretty lucky too.
"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace." - Milan Kundera

Lucy had the best life and we had the best time with her! She was so fun, loving and full of goodness. We were blessed to know her.
