Steve's parents have had Lucy and Wanda, Bichon Frisé's, for many years now. Lucy was a puppy when they got her. Over the past couple months, Lucy's health had started to decline. Steve's parents were taking her to the vet but there wasn't much that they could do for her. She had a tumor growing on her bladder and late at night on April 18th, Lucy took a turn for the worst.
Maxine, Steve's mom, told us that she was non-stop whimpering and shaking uncontrollably. They took her to the emergency vet were they found out that the tumor was now blocking her ability to urinate. Steve's parents made the hard decision to help Lucy across Rainbow Bridge.
Lucy was a great dog and will surely be missed by both Wanda and Oscar and her loving parents.
I decided to make a little stuffed amigurumi to commemorate Lucy for Maxine and Gary. Here she is.
She is about 6 inches tall and super cute. I bought the pattern from Yunies on etsy.
I used a simple white worsted weight yarn with a 4.0mm hook. One of Lucy's distinct characteristics was that she didn't have any teeth and her tongue would always hang out the side of her mouth.
Here's to you, Lucy. You're free from pain and suffering. Run free and we'll see you on the other side.
Till next time,
Courtney
