FAREWELL FANCY

Fancy came into rescue in September of 2020.  We were told she was about 9 years old.

Fancy's life before we got her was a very sad one.  She was afraid of people.  She didn't trust anyone.  We found out that her owner had been homeless and was living in a car.  She was also unstable, so we know Fancy went through a lot.   We were glad to help her.  

Lisa fostered her and Fancy met Paisley, one of Lisa's precious dogs.  Fancy did well with the other  dogs.  But she didn't trust people at all.   Lisa just let her be.  She was safe and loved.  She could take all the time she needed to feel safe.  

Fancy was made one of our forever fosters.  She just couldn't go through another change and Lisa had a special gift with her.  Fancy was safe.   Look at her smile. 

Fancy let Lisa know that she wasn't going to eat regular dog food, no matter how good it was.  She insisted on cheese mixed in-- boy did she love cheese-- and other goodies on her food.  Once it was made to her satisfaction, she would eat it.   She was a little princess after all. 

One day, Lisa asked Fancy if she was ready to go to bed.  Fancy stood against Lisa, and she put a paw on her mouth.   Fancy did it again, and Lisa realized that Fancy was trying to play.  It was wonderful.  Fancy learned to trust Lisa and became a full part of the pack.   She had a forever home.

Last night, Fancy began seizing.  She had been showing signs of being older.  She was about 14 years old.  Lisa had also seen that the spicy personality wasn't there anymore.   The ER vet thought Fancy had a brain tumor and the seizures would probably have continued.  Lisa made the heart wrenching decision to let her go.  Lisa held her as Fancy left.  Lisa made a wonderful life for Fancy-- and Fancy overcame a lot, feeling loved fully and cherished every day.  Fancy could meet her friend Paisley at the Rainbow Bridge, and she could run and play.  You will be missed Fancy.  Run free, sweet girl.  💜
