Lucas ~ 1st June 2007 ~ 1st July 2015 ~ There is another Star in the sky tonight

Lucas  ~  1st June 2007  ~  1st July 2015  ~  There is another Star in the sky tonight
Lucas died in my arms at 3.33am this morning. He went into a rapid decline around 10.30pm... I laid on the floor with him all night and talked to him and cuddled him and that Beautiful Boy.. that exquisite Light.. went out in my arms.

He is going back to the Stardust from whence he came.

Lucas 1st June 2007 - 1st July 2015. His birth date is approximate.. it was the day we gave him as his Life Day

I dont have a "Faith" but I do believe whatever atoms of Stardust that are me... will return to the stars.. and my Beloved Ones will be in that Starshine too.

Lucas is going to be cremated.. so he will be going away tomorrow.. and coming Home again soon

I so didnt want to have to do the worst at the Vets.. great as they are(and Aaron IS a wonderful vet and fella) I wanted it to be here.. and it was


Flicka was beside us... I let him sniff and lick and let him see me wrap Lukie in a sheet.. he knew Lucas was sick.. he knows Lucas is gone. He will grieve... as they do.. too

I am writing this whilst I am numb... right now.. numb is good.

Most of us have walked this road before... and you know... my heart is breaking.

This photo was taken just a week before out of the blue he was diagnosed with a failing mitral heart valve


EXPLORED ... and this one means everything to me.

Each life is a blessing that doesn't last long,
And ends all too suddenly it all seems so wrong,
Yet hope keeps me going through all of my pain,
That one day I can be with you once again,
And I know that a new star in heaven does shine,
Yet I wish you were with me and you were still mine,
But sadly I know that it can never be,
Yet your spirit remains here forever with me.

My heart lies so broken no future have I,
I'm lost in a void as I gaze to the sky,
I'll never forget you as long as I live,
So much to offer so little to give,
And I know that a new star in heaven burns bright,
Amidst all the darkness a beautiful sight,
Yet I long to hold you and never let go,
If my dream will come true it shall always be so.

My tears go on falling such hurt I now feel,
My soul has been wounded and never will heal,
The blossoms of love that we shared blown away,
I live with the cold of the winter each day,
And I know that a new star in heaven does gleam,
So graceful above in the highest esteem,
Your memory lives on and it shall never fade,
For a promise of love unto you I have made.

Oh, Pam, I knew what to expect from the thumb, before reading the caption. Feeling for you so much at your sad loss: we become so close to them and then they're gone....... I'm sure, though, that Lucas had a very loving life with you and that you will carry some great memories of him.

Oh Pam I am so so sorry to hear of your loss, this is indeed a tragic day for your family. It's a beautiful photo of him. I held my last cat, Roxy in my arms as he died. I was so glad that he wasn't at the vets too. He knew he was loved.

Oh Pam when I saw Lucas's picture posted ... my heart went heavy and tears filled my eyes. Shall think of him when I look up at the stars. I hope the days comes soon where you will find smiles of fond memories out numbers the tears of sadness when you think of Lucas. He was a good friend & I know you will miss him greatly. Flicka has lost his friend as well, give him lots of hugs for me. Do take care Pam as you deal with the difficult days ahead. xxx

Just seen this Pam as I didn't have time to look at Ipernity yesterday...as someone who has lost two elderly dogs within six months each other last year, and the previous summer, I know just how hard it is, especially when you have to make that decision - I don't think anything really prepares us for that. It is so hard to do. Will be thinking of you.

ohhh Pam... I missed this, and I am so very sorry! Lucas will be missed greatly. Every time I loose a pet I say NO MORE! I can't do the heartache when they leave us. But I always fall in love with one more face, or table clearing tail or little white spot on a belly, it just can't be helped. Flicka will miss him dearly, they also grieve and we really can't help them.
My love is with you now Pam!

Shuttering Yukon has replied to Pam J club
I cried when I read this this morning...
Believe it or not, yesterday I looked at a new puppy, she is 3 months old and her previous owner (she is in foster care right now) got her drunk and high, they blew pot smoke into her mouth. To each his own if you want to spend your life in a drunken / high haze, don't do that to an animal! She seems no worse for wear after that but holy shit! give them people some cement shoes and send them for a walk of a short bridge! The people that are fostering her are going away to school and they can't keep her. It was all just a big accident..really it was! I was not looking for another dog.
As soon as she meets hubby and Cam... and as long as they agree (and they will) she's ours. I aced our adoption test so well that she is ours on the promise of getting her spayed on our nickel. They are waving the adoption fees!

Pam J club has replied to Shuttering Yukon
GO FOR IT.!!!

They find us.. we dont find them

THEY rescue US.

This girl is was meant for you. It may take time for Cam to settle.. but she will. Its an option I dont have with Flicka... Lucas was the only dog he accepted... he found him. We still dont know what made it "right".

Oh Wend...we will need photos..... This was meant to be.

As to the slime... Karma.. trust me... Karma.. and they will not find it pretty.

I so much can feel with you...and I also know about the numbness. The loss of a beloved animal is so incredibly painful even if we "know" that their "essence" is still "there" and that they are still united with our essence. That's as far as I can express in words how I feel this.

Pam J club has replied to Gerda
Thankyou Gerda .....

They are in our hearts.. but our arms and hands miss them SO much.

This photo was taken just a week before the first sign something was wrong... and even that sign wasnt clear or worrying at that time...

This was Lucas's last gift of a beautiful picture... he slowly started to look ill 3 weeks after this.
