Poor Baby Lucy!!

Before the ice storm, when Lucy was an outside girl, we didn't think about getting her spayed.  We kind of played with the idea of her having a litter of pups, but the idea didn't go much further than that.


{Ice Storm, 2011}   {Lucy's Pen -> AFTER the branch fell.... and smashed her pen}

Lucy WAS NOT hurt.  A little shook up, but NOT hurt!  Thank You, God!!

After the ice storm, Miss Lucy became an inside girl.  And she LOVES it!!  And then last week, she started acting 'goofy', not listening and just being, well.....   goofy.  That's the way she acts before she goes into heat.  And now she's an inside girl.............   And THAT wasn't going to happen IN my house.  No.  Yuck!!

So Lucy got spayed Monday.  Our friend, Eric, has a daughter, Terri, that volunteered to take her to the veterinary clinic she works at, about 30 miles away.  So, we said ok. 

Monday morning, Terri picked her up at 6:15.  And brought her home around 6:30 that evening. 

Poor baby..............   We talked to Terri at lunch time to see how Lucy was doing.  She was just waking up, and sent us a picture on our phone............

aawwww......   Poor Baby!!

Lucy has been doing pretty well this week..................  until yesterday.............  I guess that between the shaved belly hair growing back, and the stitches healing and itching, she started licking..........   and tugging on her stitches.............  and this morning.........  it wasn't pretty.   One of the stitches was bleeding and now she's swollen.......  So we called Terri.  She came right over and made arrangements to get a CONE for Lucy........

Now poor Lucy is so ashamed.................   she's so sad.......  

Lucy does not like the cone of shame.

She's just laying around...........  (which is a good thing).  She's got such a pitiful, sad little face.........  

And Miss Terri is bringing antibiodics tomorrow, when she's done working at the emergency animal clinic.

And because of how great Terri has been this week, helping and driving her down there and all, I made her this..........

And I added a gift card.........   because we REALLY appreciate her!!

 And Lucy told me what to write on the outside.....  She's very creative that way!!


I also made one of these cups for my daughter because, well, because I just love her!! 

I got the cups at Kohl's before Christmas.  They were half price.  I used vinyl from the stash I got earlier this year from our local sign shop.  I cut the vinyl with my cricut using my Sure Cuts A Lot software. 

Now............  I need to find one of these cups so I can have one, too!!

May 22, 2011 - - Terri LOVED her gift from Lucy!! Yay, Lucy!!!

Have a great day!!
