My Ivy Girl
April 12, 2024 My Girl Eulogy June 5, 1989 - June 25, 2001 Ivy came to me by way of a blind customer, David. Ivy was 7 years old and had less than 6 months to live. I suggested to Dave to retire Ivy and unselfishly he retired his loyal friend and lived 2 months without a service dog.I was so honored to have Ivy. She experienced every activity and luxury that most dogs take for granted. She never had to step on a public bus again never had to bear the weight of responsibility. Ivy lived free to run and play ball, to sleep on my bed and go to the bathroom wherever and whenever she wanted. Everyday, I expected it to be her last. She should have died in 6 months, but 5 years later, getting old but still happy, I put her to sleep and never wanted her to feel the duty of hanging in there, not even for me. All I can think about now is how much I want her back. My sweet Ivy. My wilting flower Ivy. You got me through some really hard times. And I was so sad to see you leave June 25, 2001....
