Fridays are Golden

If Lucy were a human, she would be a little diva. Not in the sense of an opera singer, but with the colloquial definition of a female who considers herself more important than others. Lucy prances rather than walks, especially if others are watching. She expects the softest bed, the warmest sunbeam and the most comfortable spot around. She expects to get her food first, and to be the first to get her leash when it's time for a walk. If someone is petting Ellie, Lucy gets up and pushes herself in front.

Lucy also loves pillows and creates them if none exist.

We often take off our shoes and Lucy sees this as a definite advantage. The soft foot makes a perfect pillow.



If the shoes are lying around, Lucy uses them for pillows. (I often have to vacuum dog hair from shoes.) She never chews them or picks them up...just uses them for pillows.

Her favorite pillow, however, is Ellie. In this picture Lucy is not using her as a pillow, but once again is totally concerned with her own comfort, not matter what the discomfort to someone else.

Mom! She's got her feet and paws all over my face!"

Oh Ellie, you know that you need to handle this for yourself. Just get up or growl and put her in her place. But it's for you to do. I won't interfere.

I have no idea what she's talking about, Mom. I wouldn't do anything to disturb Ellie. I'm just here to keep her warm.

Hopefully no snow this weekend, but high winds and certainly more trees coming down. While we complain about our unusual weather, we recognize that so many others are in much worse shape. Our thoughts remain with those who are really suffering, not those of us who are simply whining.

HAVE A WONDERFUL AND HAPPY WEEKEND. REFRESH AND PAMPER YOURSELF FOR AT LEAST PART OF IT. AND DO SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE LESS FORTUNATE AS WELL.
