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.

Steve and Vicki I offer you my sincere condolences in the loss of your son and Gracie. Having just lost my 4 year old Labradoodle Keegan who was there for me helping me get through the pain of losing several family members I understand how devastating your loss is and the pain you must be feeling. Your Gracie is so beautiful.

I a so sorry about your Gracie... there are no words to say. I have been there and done that, and it is not any fun. We had to put our lab mix down in March and I still get choked up... like right now.. just thinking about her... she was the best dog. You hang in there. I have a litter that is 4 weeks old... If you are interested I will give you a hell of a deal! I mean it!
