Hi, this is Lucy. Lots of news today!
I finally got those staples out of my belly, and now I don’t have to wear the Cone of Destruction at all! I even got to resume my duties as Church Dog this week.
Amy and Jeff have never ever told me I did anything wrong, so I figured I could do whatever I want. So…I have been doing my bizness in the house. It’s easier than asking to go out. The first few times, they just cleaned it up and then let me go outside and play with Riley. Then, last night, Amy scolded me for the first time. When she pointed at the “stinky pile” I laid down and positioned my face over it so she could push my nose into the stinky. She got this really sad look on her face and told me no, I just needed to go outside to potty. Also, she said I couldn’t be the Church Dog until I stopped doing this kind of thing in the house and the church. *hangs head*
Now for some good news! Until this year, I never got to celebrate Valentine’s Day, so I didn’t know what to expect. I got a card in the mail addressed just to me!
I don’t know who Madeline Rose is, but it still made me feel good. 🙂 Amy said it was really from some good friends I haven’t met yet. Oh boy, I can’t hardly wait to meet them!
When Riley found out about my card, he got jealous! While we were playing, he whispered in my ear.
And I whispered back.
After that, Riley taught me how to deadie my only toy.
I think maybe Riley is my boyfriend now. ❤
Love from your not quite perfect friend, Lucy

Train your peeps. Have them give you a treat every time you potty outdoors. No treat for outdoor potty? Next time indoor potty. It takes most peeps only a month to catch on.

I will see if Amy will do that, Kismet. But I still don’t want to be a “bad dog,” even if I don’t get a reward for doing what’s right.

Yea, no more stitches or cone of destruction. That is awesome! As for the housetraining I have no doubt that you’ll master it in no time.
By the way you and Riley look very cute together and I can tell you have fun.

I’ve been very good in the house today, Mrs. Margret. I wasn’t allowed to go to work and everyone missed me. Mr. Dave even brought me a BIG bag of dog bones that I didnt’ get. 😦

House training is a tough nut to crack, L. Mom helped me with a crate, so I learned fast! Once you get it, you’ll never go back.

I’m so happy to see them get along so well together. Sophie said to tell Lucy that cleanliness is next to godliness. Ever Sophie learned that very quickly.

I relayed Sophie’s message and Lucy hung her head. She said she has to be next to godliness if she wants to continue in Lexi’s pawsteps and be the Church Dog. (Thanks, Sophie!)

She said that if she can remain neat and clean, it should be a snap for any other dog.
