A poem for LuLu

A poem from my sister Rita, the Digital Diva

Lulu Lulu Lulu

You are such a cute shihpoo

We loved you because u were so lovable

We hope you find a lovely soft spot

In the special place in dog heaven

For cute lulu shihpoo

You are sadly missed by

Antony, Billy, Emma and Brice

Our mother Moira, who loved lulu the cute shihpoo

Will always have a place in her heart

For the lulu who stole our hearts

Our father Frank, who blogged about his new baby

Will keep her memory alive on his blog

Lulu we never lost you

because u will live on forever in the Blog and in our Hearts

Farewell LuLu the Shih-Poo - we hardly knew you

The worst possible end to the day.

Our puppy passed away following its encounter with a killer tick.

We laid her to rest in the backyard with the other pets who "have ceased to be".

She lasted 8 days from when she joined the family - a new record. Another victim of the Arrigo curse.

Our puppy is sick

One week into the adventure with our new puppy LuLu and already we have drama.

This morning I came down the stairs and saw LuLu lying on the ground wimpering. This is not a normal state, as she is normally very active

The family got ready and took her to the local  vet. The kids were distraught.

The diagnosis is that she was bitten by a tick which causes paralysis.

Poor Puppy!

She is in the vet for the next 72 hours, so we have a dog free weekend. Hopefully all will be well by Monday.
