Our Lacy Girl

It seems the Ralphs are just not meant to own a dog! Lacy has been such a good dog for the kids but was so aggressive with other dogs. We decided after her fourth attack (which happened to be mom and dad's little dog, Tess) that we couldn't trust her. The vet agreed that she was too dangerous to have around little kids and if she ever hurt one we would be held responsible. It really was the worst day and I never want to have another day like it. The animal hospital let me order extra molds of Lacy's paw for each of the kids and I finally filled my empty frames throughout the house (going on 5 years) with pictures of Lacy and her kiddos. Ava's been carrying her little photo book with a newly added photo of Lacy kissing her and has been saying "Lacy where are you?" and has taken it worse than the boys. I hope the photos will help!

I remember how awful this is to have to do. It's also not fun even when you have to transfer the pet to another home. Even when I'm not a big fan, it's hard to watch your kids miss them so much! Sorry about Lacy!

Heartbreaking! Look how beautiful she is and how loved she is. Poor Ava. Thankfully they will have little Eli to preoccupy themselves with soon. Babies can mend broken hearts!
