Empty Bed

I don't understand...Lucy will not sleep in her bed or Oliver's bed since he went to doggie heaven.  When he was alive they would both share beds.  Now she has nothing to do with the beds and has found her new place under the famous ottoman.  Mike and I keep waiting for her to return to her bed where she used to be so warm and comfortable. We still wait.

The good O'l days

We wished we could go back to the way it used to be with Oliver around.  Lucy was so relaxed with him around.

Lily Visits

                        

Lily comes to visit again and she can't figure out why Lucy ignores her!



Memories of Lily visiting when Oliver was with us.

                                                  Oliver was always a good host!

Bee Sting

Yesterday afternoon on our walk, Lucy stepped on a bee and was stung.  The bee was stuck in her fur on her leg and I had to untangle it.  Her paw pads were crunched together so we went to the emergency at U.W. to get it looked at. Lucy got a shot of Benadryl and some pain pills to help.  We monitored her for swelling incase of a delayed allergic reaction. She rested today and her lameness has improved.  Lucy is 13 and has never ever been stung by a bee!  I felt badly for her.

Lucy's Job

                             Lucy's job is to guard the house and my job is to return to the classroom. 
                                                   Summer is officially over for us Lucy! 



You stay here and I will be back!



Monarch Butterflies

On Labor Day we celebrated the birth of two monarch butterflies.  The first butterfly was a male and the second was a female. Then another birth at school was a boy and we let him go in the butterfly garden.

When the chrysalis is very dark, the monarch is ready to come out.

 Lucy was under her famous ottoman....sleeping while all the action took place.



Butterfly birth at school!
