Sweet Lacey

Randall's mom's dog died during the night last night!!!

I went shopping at Wal-Mart back in November of 2003. I found this poor looking little Shih-tzu just wondering the parking lot. I didn't want her to get hit so I picked her up, took her home, gave her a bath, and started looking for a home for her. I called Randall's mom and asked her if she wanted to take her. She was hesitant at first, but then Lacey licked her and Libby said that she knew Lacey had found her mommy! So, this dog was pretty sick when we found her (heart problems, glaucoma, missing teeth, etc). We have no clue how old she was because she was in such bad shape. Libby pretty much commited her life to caring for this dog. She got her meds filled each month and even came home from our cruise early because she was not doing to good! So, for the past few weeks Lacey hasn't been doing to good and Libby knew it was eventually coming. So she works at a shelter every other weekend and this was her weekend. Lacey was having a hard time breathing yesterday and Libby thought she might have pneumonia. Well, when Randalls dad got up this morning she had died in her sleep. He called us at like 9:00 this morning and asked if it would be to much trouble to come there. We got dressed and drove to Cedartown and made it there before Libby got home from work. We made Lacey a little box and put her in it and buried her in the back yard. It just really sad when you lose a pet! I know I was really sad when we lost Toby! I hope Libby doesn't stay sad for too terribly long. We will miss little Lacey.
