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.

Sorry for your loss. You are fortunate to have other dogs to soften the loss but it is always hard to lose one. As a breeder I have had to deal with these loses many times over and its never easy. Hug the otherones especially tight. Take care Delete Comment

Vickie - I hardly have the words to express how sorry I am that you lost your sweet Gracie. I know you and your family must be devastated. She is at peace but your hearts must be broken. You are most certainly in my thoughts and prayers. Here is a big cyber (((((hug)))))) for you.

Vicki, I am so sorry to hear about Gracie. From experience, I think sudden losses are especially hard to understand. I will keep you in my prayers.

Vicki, Yankee and I send our love and prayers. To an animal lover, our pets become family and any loss is difficult. Know that your doodle family is here for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers will be with you both. I lost my 13 year old lab a few years back and it helped to know so many people really do care. Your doodle will be watching over you from now on. He is at the RAINBOW BRIDGE, take care and know we are all thinking of you at this time of loss.
Love.
Linda and Toby

Hi Vicki.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have had dogs all my life, but my Doodle -- who is also named Gracie -- is more like my child than any dog who has shared my home and heart, so I can imagine the hole left by your Gracie's absence. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this painful time. Wishing your Gracie a sweet journey to the Rainbow Bridge, where my Argus, Tarka, and Allegro are waiting to greet her.
Diana
