goodbye lucky boy...

a beautiful friend died this week... so unexpected and so very, very sad... many tears have been shed over this gentle, handsome boy...

i was fortunate to have developed a close relationship with this beautiful companion of my dear friend irene - lucky (aka the old man and luscious lucky amongst other endearments)...

sadly he died yesterday - he'd been healthy all of his twelve years - so heart failure was unexpected - but poodles are prone to many things due to genetic manipulation over time, heart problems being one of them...

Until one has loved an animal,

a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

Anatole France.

it's a sad time for all who knew and loved him, but a much sadder time for irene...
