Our beloved friend, companion, and protector, Lucy, who has been with us for 14 years, breathed her last breath while I held her this morning. Lucy was the epitome of what a good dog should be like. Fantastic with children, protective, lovable, and always happy. Always wanting to be petted, and to spend time with anyone who would let her. Most of my children can't remember life without her. Always there day and night, she slept by Leslie's side of the bed, ever on the ready to bark if she should hear even a twig snap outside the house. Belle, our German Shephard has always had Lucy there, and I'm sure she will miss her more than any of us, because they kept each other company while the family went places. Both Belle and Lucy would tag along with each other and would love going to the pond to take a dip as much as they could during the summer months.
Lucy hated for anyone to fight, and would place herself between any of the girls while arguments would occur amongst them. When Lucy was a younger dog, we had a Ferret named Slick, who she LOVED to roll around on the floor with and play. When other dogs would come over, they saw Slick as a snack, so Lucy would walk, towering over him, all around the house, making sure the other dog did not touch her friend. If they got close, she would growl at them, and she protected him like her baby. She really loved him. Lucy would act the same way with the cats here, licking and watching over them, like they were her own. None of our cats, bunnies, ferrets were afraid of Lucy, and many times would fall asleep laying next to her. No other animal ever had the impact that Lucy did with our family. She truly was a member of the Kulig Family, and will be deeply missed. I know that along with us, if you have ever spent a moment at the Kulig Farm, you were touched by her sense of love and friendship. Lucy, we will really miss you!! We couldn't have been luckier than to have you in our lives!!
