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.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you as you cope with the sadness. Take comfort in the fact that Gracie led a good life with you and your family during her time here on earth.

Once again, Steve please accept my prayers and sympathies as i cannot imagine what you are going through right now but you're right about Gracie's picture. May you also find the doodle out there tha is waiting for you and your wife.

Gracie's photos (adult) really remind me of a dog named Mimi Mugs. She is an Italiano Spinone who lives in England. I can try to get you a photo if you are interested. Also, I have just started up a retirement hobby that is printing photos of dogs on canvas. Do you have a favorite digital photo that you would like printed up of Gracie?

Vicki, words alone can not convey my sadness in Gracies' passing. She will live forever in your hearts and memories.

[Susie and Abbie Doodle]

We were so sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that we are praying for you during this horrible time. May God bless you and your family and may He be with you to help you through. I cry for you.....
