Lucy, update.

It turned out to be a small scrape on the pad, rendering it sensitive. Since she was largely back to normal by Monday, Labour Day, we decided to continue watching through the week. She’s fine, back to her normal self. Here she is tonight, watching the world go by.

We’re pleased that she is her old self.

Lucy, ever on the lookout.

Can holder.

Lucy is, sometimes, our can holder. And, always, our watch dog.

Keeps an eye.

Although Lucy is always ready for a game of Chuck-it!, she still keeps an eye on things.22B6E2BD-74AB-4228-A974-953B21522D41_1_201_a

Achilles, illuminated by the grow light, observes me from the other room.

Watch dog

In an image taken without flash, a ghostly Achilles watches me from the next room. He likes spending time in there. Achilles has always been fairly independent, being outside on his own, spending time in space which we aren’t sharing at the time. Able to, trusted to, be on his own.

Achilles takes his ease

taken and posted with the PlayBook

Achilles often lays here, just outside the door. He can watch traffic on the street as well as keep an eye on a sliver of the backyard. He is remarkably trustworthy, rarely digs or barks without reason so he can spend as much time in the backyard unsupervised as he chooses. We are so blessed to have such a good dog.
