I Am A Well Travelled Dog

LucytheDog sadly passed away on March 11th...she was a very well travelled dog as you can see! She battled cancer til the very end and walked on the beach on her last day. Thanks to all her VT fans, for all the great comments. She was a traveller and an old soul and is sadly missed. I'm keeping her site going for now...druvincent2112
