She continued: “Now, this bout of illness, if it gets better, it gets better. But if it doesn’t, we’re going to say goodbye to this boy. And I wanted to share this with you because you guys have have loved him as much as I have all along the way.
“So I just wanted to share it with you. Nobody ever wants to lose their dog, but I’m so grateful that he has been such an amazing part of my life, and I would never ever let him be in bed for longer than he needs to be.
“So thank you for everyone that’s wished him well and give him all the love. Yeah, it sucks. But grief is there because love is there. But I love you, Steven.”
She admitted she feels as though her pet thinks “my job is done” as she said he helped him through so many huge life moment. Lucy went on to thank her wife for “holding us together” through such hard times.
Among those sending love in the comments section was Lizzie Cundy. She wrote: “Sending you so much love,” with two red love heart emojis. Megan McKenna also shared her compassion as she liked the post.
