Lucy was brought to be by a friend when she was just 8 weeks old, knowing that I wouldn’t say no when I found out she needed a home. She was welcomed into our home by my two Papillons, Bailey and Barak, at the time. Bailey didn’t want anything to do with Lucy, but Barak was more than interested. As time went by Barak and Lucy became best friends always playing with each other running around the house she thought she was a dog, but Bailey was still not amused. When someone knocked at the door Bailey and Barak would bark and Lucy would let out a growl. She also played fetch with the best of them. She actually brought the ball back to me every time and dropped it, when Barak and Bailey did not. They were all always by my side no matter where I was. about 12 years later I had lost Bailey and Lucy and Barak were there to comfort each other and me. It was about a year later that I lost Barak and what I saw next I never imagined. Lucy truly missed him. She was laying in the spots he would normally lay on the bed and on the couch, she was more clingy to me than normal, and she was not as playful. When I brought his ashes home she got up on the table and just sniffed the box and then laid by it. She started becoming more joyful again, I like to think because he was home. I eventually got a new puppy and Lucy was not amused and had tolerated Storm for 7 years, but they did get along and love each other in their own way. She still was always by my side, so much that I nicked named her my stalker. I would wake up from a dead sleep with her sitting so close to me just watching me sleep, she was always closely watching me and what I was doing. I loved how she stalked me. She became sick really quickly, it went from not eating as much, to not eating at all, There was nothing that could be done and I had to let her go so she wasn’t suffering anymore. I will miss my little stalker so very much. Lucy is the longest relationship I’ve ever had. I can see that Storm is missing her as well and that worries me. I am trying to make things fun and exciting for her so that she can be okay. Lucy was the first and only cat I have ever owned and she was truly an amazing companion and a unique individual. She will be missed terribly.
