Our house is about to become dreary, without the daily joy we have felt for the past decade plus four years, but we saw it coming the past several months. We will probably lose our Luey this week. It will be a great loss, especially for the “E”.
Luey is a miniature Schnauzer, grey and white, and could have been a show dog, he is that great looking. He always gets oohs and aahs from our neighbors, or strangers, while out walking, the groomers treat him like a star, and only the owner of the shop gives him his monthly cuts. She won’t allow another groomer to mess him up.
He is, without a doubt, Ethel’s dog. She picked him from a litter when he was a very young pup and from that day forward Luey was by her side, or walking along at her heels, bumping her leg with his nose. He spent much of his life on her lap being coddled, hugged, and brushed. He never complained, always laid quietly on his back, as he did with me above, totally content, knowing he was the best looking animal in our house.
We have always had at least one dog in our home. All of them were special, all were treated like our children, but Luey was extra special. He will be missed terribly. There will be a huge void in our home.
He was our Luey. We loved him greatly and he returned that love a hundred fold.
