Lady

We were recently told that our 2016 alumna, Lady, has left this world for the Rainbow Bridge.  Her mom Kerstin, and dad Matt, sent us this beautiful note…
 
“I wanted to share that we unfortunately had to say goodbye to Lady this week. She was a 2016 SEGSP alumna and was originally picked up as a stray in Mississippi.
 
Lady was fostered in Alabama, and we were so honored to have been chosen as her adoptive family by her foster parents. She was likely around 3 at the time, and we had a wonderful 8 years with her that were filled with long walks, love and snuggles. She was our first dog, an exceptionally easy GSP and fooled us into thinking we could have a second. She meant the world to us and will be greatly missed by us and her adopted brother Erwin, a 2021 SEGSP alumnus.
 
Despite two knee surgeries, Lady lived a life free of health issues until very recently. We had to let her go unexpectedly after she started showing signs of pain and losing weight, which quickly led to a diagnosis of metastasized cancer.
 
Lady loved to hunt in the yard and kept it rat and lizard free. But her favorite thing in life was accompanying her dad on long walks that somehow magically ended with her getting a piece of his lunch. We hope she now gets all the fries and pizza in the world.”
 
Our Georgia State Coordinator, Amanda, added, “Lady’s story, from being a stray to becoming such a cherished member of your family, is a testament to their resiliency and the incredible bond that rescue dogs can form with their adoptive families. It’s clear Lady brought immense joy to your lives, and we’re grateful she had such a wonderful family. Lady’s memory will always be cherished by all of us here at SEGSP Rescue. Please know that our thoughts are with you and Erwin during this difficult time.” 
Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories. —Ronald Reaga
