 Lucy and I found each other through a local rescue group. A corgie/doxie mix, she’s a little dog with a huge heart who surely knows what life is all about: - Get up early, crash by 10 - Spend as much time as possible with the humans you love - Take happy, aimless walks - Be curious about the world around you - Treats are welcome after a job well done - Shake it off In the University of Lucy, I am but a humble student. The lessons are pure and simple and as powerful as anything I've learned from the likes of Ghandi or even Oprah. Lucy and I have been buddies for six years. I have to say that she is the most consistent being in my life. Not that I don't have lots of wonderful human friends and family - I swear I'm not the crazy dog lady - but Lucy is just special. I do have another dog, Mackie, who will be the subject of another blog altogether one day. Suffice it to say that he is a real character and well loved, but between you and A couple of months ago my daughter noticed a strange-looking mole on Lucy's belly. I took her to the vet and sure enough it was cancer. Luckily, we caught it very early and a simple surgery was all that was required, but it was scary. That's the problem with inviting a dog into your life - chances are she'll leave this world before you do. But what's life without risk? Without those cute little eyes, a butt that won't stop wagging and a personality that could solve world peace? Not my life, that's for sure. Send your questions to Lynn@smartnow.com. |
