For Lucas. 🐕

Lucas lost his battle with pneumonia and crossed the rainbow bridge on Sunday, April 24, 2022.

Lucas was born on July 1, 2021, and we became a family on November 26, 2021. He loved milk bones and bully sticks, playing with other dogs, meeting new people, taking long walks, and snuggling. However, he hated rainy days and having to stay indoors.

He was adored by all who met him, but most of all, by me, his mom. I got Lucas when my mental health was at an all-time low. Every day he gave me a reason to wake up and seize the day because of his happy-go-lucky personality, snuggles, and energy. When I was sad, he made every effort to make me happy. When I was in pain, he comforted me.

Anyone who got to meet him knows that he was an absolute sweetheart. Although I didn't birth him, I often joked that he was my first born and a lot like me, except that he was an extreme extrovert. Even while sick in the hospital, he tried his hardest to greet everyone he met.

I will remember Lucas every time I go driving. He would get so excited to see the people and cars pass by. I will think of him whenever it snows, or I walk through tall grass. I will hold him in my heart forever, and he will never be forgotten.

Life is too short. Please hug your loved ones and spend as much quality time with them as you can in memory of Lucas today.

My heart is aching. RIP Lucas, gone too soon. ❤️
