Still in the Kitchen

Well, the stove isn't even in the kitchen yet. It's still sitting in our dining room while we finish the tiling on the backsplash.

Sunday we installed the microwave by ourselves. You can see in the picture the new oak countertops that we got at IKEA. I also finished painting the drawers and Josh put the handles on, and the upper cabinets on this side I finished painting this weekend.

We still need to tile which we'll probably do on Friday when Josh is home from work. Our new light fixtures will be delivered on Thursday, and I need to paint the cabinet doors yet. I can't wait to start cooking for real (not with a micro and toaster oven like we've been doing since we pretty much moved in)!

On a completely separate note, this is what Lucy has been doing all day while I work.

Fun in the Sun

Lucy's really been having a fantastic time in the yard. It's her new favorite thing and I can't wait to move into the house so she doesn't have to wear a leash.

Tonight, since it's been so hot, we let Lucy go in the lake for a little swim. She hasn't been swimming since she was a puppy, so she was a little nervous, but she did it!

Doggie Birthday!

Yesterday was Lucy's 4th Birthday and we celebrated by treating her to a Poodle Puff from Lulu & Luigi and I made her a special dinner of rice, ground beef and shredded carrot. She thoroughly enjoyed both!

Our Cutest Dog

We just entered Lucy in the cutest dog contest. Please vote for her everyday this week here.

Thanks!

Animal Farm

On our walks with Lucy the last few nights, we've seen something very different than normal. Goats! Either the city or county has hired these goats to eat the dried grass next to the path. The grass is a fire hazard and the goats love it. They get put into a pen that is about 30 feet across and 100 feet long, and they mow it down in less than a day. Then a farmer sets up a new pen right next to the one they finish and they get herded into the new pen by 2 dogs. Lucy LOVES the goats (and working dogs) which is a nice change from the feelings she has toward the cows in the same pasture.

Happy Birthday to Lu!

Today is Lucy's birthday and she is 3 years old! And what a great 3 years it's been!

We treated her to her favorite meal of browned hamburger and rice...aka bland diet. She woofed it down so fast her head was blurry in almost every picture.

All gone. Then we took her for a walk in the park and she got a chicken (dried chicken) for dessert. Yum!

Welcome home Lucy!

Lucy made it back to California this morning. Wayne and Sue dropped her off at the airport in Minneapolis and four hours later she arived in Sacramento.

Seasons Greetings!

Since it's too late for a Christmas card, we just decided to post it on the blog. We wish everyone a happy holiday season. Hope you like our picture of Lucy...it took 33 takes.

Yay Lucy!

Today after noon I am heading over to Franklin Ranch to pick up Lucy. She did great during surgery and was awake and well yesterday at 4:15.

Think good thoughts...

After going on walks with Lucy where she would have to go to the bathroom every 20 yards, we decided to get her checked out. Turns out she has 2 stones in her bladder. One pea size, and one a little larger oval. The doctor said the best way to solve everything is surgery, so we have agreed and Lucy is going in tomorrow. We just wanted to let everyone know, so you can all think good thoughts for her tomorrow. Thanks.

Greetings from Lucy

Hey everyone! This is my bed, I like it a lot! I've been told it's for ya'll to sleep on when you come to pet me. I will keep it warm until then.

toodles,
Lucy
