Vicki Lost her Doodle on Sunday, Please Post your Condolences to Vicki Here

[Adina P]

Vicki's doodle, Gracie died on Sunday. To prevent flooding her inbox (which I hadn't thought about till now) please post your thoughts as responses below. I'm sure they will be appreciated when she has a chance to stop by.

This is what Vicki told me today when I found out:
My beloved Gracie died yesterday. We're not sure why or how. It appears as though she died of natural causes somehow. She looked very peaceful as if she layed down for a nap and did not wake up. We have chosen not to have an autopsy. My 22 year old son died three years ago, and after seeing his autopsy pictures, I couldn't stand the thought of my Gracie being disected that way, and it would not bring her back. She was my constant companion and has helped me so much to find some kind of peace over the loss of my son Leonard. I can't imagine life without her and yet I have to.

Vicki's husband recently posted the following on Vicki's page:

Im Steve, Vicki's husband, I wish you all could have seen and know the most wonderful doodle we called Gracie. Vicki, our loss is huge but the gift of all the love she gave us is even greater. My tears have been many. You know the two pictures of Gracie behind your monitor? When I look at this one its almost like Gracie is saying 'it'll be o.k. sir' ..love you.

They would like to add a new doodle to their home and are seeking a rescue if possible.

Vicki, you & your DH are in my thoughts & prayers. Losing Gracie much too soon is hard. It is very big-hearted of you to want another dog so quickly, but if you find a rescue dog it will be giving a great new life to another doodle! May you find peace! Take care.
