We had to say good-by to our beautiful yellow lab Lacey last Friday. We are so grateful that you entrusted her care to my husband and I back in June of 2013. We had agreed to foster her first but adopted her as soon as we met her! Her name at the time was Debbie, but she became our Lacey. She had been heartworm positive and needed about 6 months of low-key activity following her treatment, so it was a while before she showed us her true personality. We became attached to her very quickly! She was 2 yrs when we adopted her and had already had a litter of puppies. We don’t know much about her life before she joined our family but do know that we made sure that she had a great life with us. Lacey loved her tennis balls, long walks, and being the center of attention. In the past two years, she had multiple episodes of vertigo which affected her balance and caused a tilt to her head. Dr. C said that the episodes had caused brain lesions. She was a trooper and adjusted to staying on the first floor of our home and shorter walks. Her hind legs began to fail, and she developed digestive disorders this past year that special food and medications no longer successfully treated. Our home is so quiet now, and I catch myself looking for her constantly to be by my side. She brought such joy to our family!
