Lucy Girl
Jun 14th
Our mutt. I love her. She loves me. She and I have a special bond. She is my dog there is no question about it. Lucy and T don’t get along too well. T loves her because I love her and she tolerates T because I love him. Lucy and my connection is never more apparent then when I am pregnant, especially in the final few weeks. Lucy sticks to me like mess sticks to my boys. She is always at my side. When I take her for a walk she knows when I start to get uncomfortable and slows down her pace. If I start having a Braxton Hicks contraction she is at my side instantly. I don’t know how she knows but she is always there. At night if I am tossing and turning or as of late groaning because of the pain in my hips and pelvis she is alert and watchful.
She isn’t a lot of things. She isn’t well trained. She doesn’t do a lot of tricks. She isn’t great with strangers – especially men in hats. She hates mowers. She is a coward when it comes to thunderstorms. She isn’t the healthiest dog- thyroid issues and over weight. She isn’t a purebred by any means. But that dog, my Lucy, loves me and protects me. She is so very patient with our boys, which is her best quality. She and T may be at odds with each other. I mean seriously, she can’t help it that when she naps on his side of the bed she sheds on his pillow. She doesn’t mean it, I am almost sure of that!
I think out of all of us in the family Lucy will have the hardest time when Baby Girl decides to make her debut. I doubt she will handle me in labor well, she is concerned enough when I have practice contractions. Plans are in place for her to go to a friends house for the duration of the labor.
I can’t wait to have another girl in the family. It has been me and Lucy against T and the boys for almost 3 years. It is about time for us girls to even the playing the field!
Our Lazy Mutt
Apr 27th
Lucy follows the sun. If she is not outside on the deck sun bathing, she is relaxing in a pool of sunlight shining in from the windows. I think out of all of us, Lucy is the one who appreciates the warm weather the most. She is solar powered just like I am. If I don’t get sun, I do not function. If it is a rainy day, I am crabby. If it is before sun rise or after sun set, I am useless. If I wasn’t spending my days monitoring poo flinging, I would do exactly what Lucy does all day long. I would lay in the sun and bask in its wonderfulness!
My Little Man and Lucy
Nov 15th
M and Lucy playing fetch. They are both smiling. They love this! I love watching this. Photographing it can be a bit tough, but luckily with the digital age, I can take 1000 pictures and end up with a few winning photos.
This is their favorite game as of late. M teases, Lucy chases. M throws, Lucy fetches. Their play tug of war. They wrestle. There are giggles, squeals, barks, growls. This game that they have recently discovered is their new favorite past time.
Tongues a Waggin’
Sep 1st
and I don’t mean with gossip. I literally mean, Tongues a Waggin’!
Lucy is happiest at my parents cabin. She loves to run and she loves to chase the four-wheeler. Proof is in the photo. She couldn’t be more blissfully content if she was chewing on a new smoked rawhide curled up next to me on the couch.
