Lulu
Folks at St Francis, Lulu adopted us 6 years ago at an adoption day at Pet Smart in Woodbury. After getting “the thumbs up” from Bert our Irish wolfhound she came home to be a part of the family. We had always had Irish Wolfhounds and the thought of a coon hound in the family just sounded right. When we drove into the driveway and up to the house Lulu started to bay like you have never heard before. She thought she was at the hunting lodge and it was time to go for a hunt. Without hesitation she checked out every tree and gave a good howl to let us know she was quite capable of doing what that nose was intended for. Bert patiently followed after her and chased anything he thought she approved of. Lulu did manage to escape on her own a couple of times and Bert would hunt her down or she would come back on her own. She went to Katie’s class and did everything she was taught but only after she decided it was worthwhile or could get her something to eat. Lulu never missed an apple in the orchard no matter how well it was hidden. Since Lulu’s arrival she raised two more wolfhound puppies which now are adults. Whatever Lulu said was law and they obeyed. She was a loyal companion to all of us. She loved long walks in the woods, her hearing was gone but she still had spirit to keep going. In May she went to the vet and got a clean bill of health but in October she just didn’t seem to be herself. After a trip to the vet and several tests she was diagnosed with cancer and given weeks to months to live. Within a week she had stopped eating and would only drink broth. We knew it was time to say goodbye. In the spring we are going to spread her ashes along the paths she loved to travel.
