HUGS!!! I am stunned to hear of Lulu's passing. I know that we all thought she would beat this as she beat everything else that came her way.
She loved you and she knew that you loved her. That is a bond that will never go away and you will hold in your hearts forever.
My heart goes out to you and Moo. You did so much, you gave so much and she returned it with her unlimited capacity to love and be happy.
hugs,
Sharlene

I am so very sorry for your loss, Lulu knows she was loved.
Rest in peace sweet Lulu, tonight you will be our newest and brightest star in the sky......
Oh my this is a surprise. I am so saddened. Dear Lulu is now free to run wild and free from all pain. May memories of all the good times sustain you and your wife as you heal. I am so sorry. Kim
Thank you all, and I want to share a post I put on the forum my wife and I run on weight loss.
Yes, our Lulu was a treasure. She learned from me, picked berries, and I remember I would take the snow off of our little pines some 11 or so years ago, and she would mimic me, and I would thank her and tell her to be careful. Now I know the snow is a protection for the little ones. She will be remembered this Valentine's Day. We had her with us in 2005 in Holland, Michigan for our anniversary. I had thought that she had hip displasia then and would need some surgery to strengthen her hind quarters. It turned out it was Anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACL tear) and our Port Huron vet recommended Dr. Wilson in Romeo, who learned the precision method of turning the bones in the hind quarters. So in 2005 Lulu would have the first of two operations to correct. We hoped for 1 operation, but she and a squirrel had another idea. She chased it and pulled the other one. Dr. Wilson had said there was a 60% chance the other would go. So in 2006 she had the other operation, and thankfully healed up before our big trip, first time off the mainland of North America and headed to for our friend Pia's wedding. Lulu would spend three long weeks at our favorite kennel. That would be the LAST time she spent time there. We took everywhere. And if we went out of state we got Judi or our neighbors to watch her. We never took a long vacation after the three weeks in Australia, though she did in 2010. I was home with Lulu, and our two cats, Molly & Nellie. (Nellie watched over her Lulu every night I was with her in the basement.) So in 2006 we started a tradition on our anniversary and went to West Branch, Michigan. Why there? Well in 2003 we decided to take a fall color tour and stopped in West Branch, with our Lulu and had G's Pizza. G's is a chain of now about 7 pizarras in the state. We liked the small town atmosphere and while shopped the quaint shoppes I walked Lulu down the street from G's across the railroad tracks. Then in 2004 our Australian Pia, then unmarried, came with her Australian mom, my wife (calls herself) is her American mom LOL. We took another fall color tour, because Pia's mom Pamela wanted to see the color, and they just don't do justice to fall in Southern Australia, Adelaide where they are. So we stopped again for pizza in West Branch.
So that is how the tradition has been and every Valentine's Day since 2005 we have spent the night in West Branch, had pizza at G's Pizzeria and then stayed at the scenic Tri-Terrace Motel.
We won't be staying there this year because Lulu had been ill and we just can't afford it. We had great memories and could wander in the courtyard and in the snow. She was a great traveler and now travels with our other dogs and our parents, like my dad, who Lulu visited his last days at the nursing home he was at.
IN CONCLUSION: I must say my luncheon with Mark from the schools went wonderfully. We were there for almost and hour and a half. Mark will be on the deciding committee. I am hoping I made a good impression. I remember telling him about our Lulu and that she was seriously ill, and I told him I don't know if she will make it. I will send him a thank you and hope that I get this position. This is a position that is a very responsible one for the district. I really believe I could do well in it, and it is very challenging I know Lulu would be thrilled. I had bought her some Tim Bits donuts from Tim Horton's and she would love them. She smelled it when I got home but wouldn't eat, though our Nellie ate part of one. I did too with her about an hour ago.
I am going to leave a quotation from a 'Little House on the Prairie' episode of the 1970-80s "Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you ... "
Lulu was very special. I think she knew that she was yours forever and ever. Even more special is the bond that you, moo and lulu had together and of course the cats too. Can't forget that it is one big family. :)
Your Valentine tradition sounds just lovely and I am sure that Lulu will want you to go back whenever you can and continue to celebrate in a place that means so much to all of you. She is indeed now running again and hanging out with all of those who have gone before. I know though that she is keeping a doggy eye on your and moo.
We'll all be waiting to hear the news and hope that you get the job. Fingers crossed! Prayers said!
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly muffin
What a wonderful story and tradition. I gotta tell you if you were here I'd hire you! :D I seriously hope you get the job. And I know without a doubt in my mind that dear sweet Lulu is looking down from above and smiling.
We don't accept goodbyes around here... see we get attached. We understand if it's hard to come back but we hope you will check in when you are up to it and let us know how you are doing.
Bless you. Kim
