Lucy was a kind dog

A very sweet pup to know

Fluffy as a lamb

With fur as white as snow

 

She never met a stranger

For all she welcomed in

And for some particular reason

She seemed to prefer men!

 

Her life was full of lots of cheer

She loved long walks with dad

Thru many sunrises and sunsets

So many good times were had

 

She followed her mom from room to room

Always keeping her in sight

A loving, loyal protector

Thru each day and night

 

Of getting her regular haircuts

She wasn't quite a fan

But even she had to love

Her spa treatment in a van!

 

She had the best playmates in the world

In her "sisters" Sandy and Alice

Sandy and Lucy on the same team

But of course there was no malice

 

There were only a very few things

that could make her lose her cool

Like a flock of wild geese

Or Alice swimming in the pool

 

She also had a lot of interest 

In Luna and in Izzy

But it was only curiousity

That sent her into such a tizzy

 

And to those friends now 

Without a doubt, she would surely say

Please don’t be too sad

Because we'll meet again someday

 

For just like the song that bears her name

You can bet your bottom dollar

That Lucy is now in the heavens above

With diamonds in her collar
