I knew this day was coming, but it truly came overnight. Yesterday my dog, Lucy, seemed fine, today she became lethargic and spit up blood. When I got her to the emergency vet in Boone, they ran a plethora of tests. After an X-ray they found a mass on her spleen that had probably ruptured. I feel the worst for my daughter. Lucy slept in her room since we brought Piper home from the hospital. Raise a glass and toast the unconditional love they give. Lucy you will be missed old girl. She truly was the smartest dog I have ever seen, and one of the best guard dogs. Rest In Peace
