This past week was been a busy one for Lucy the puggle dog.
She went to one of the kids sporting events, took a trip to the pet store, played in the garden, ate a raw sweet potato, chased the Handsome Husband around, and earned herself a wee bit of freedom to roam around the house. She is such a sweet puppy, I can hardly stand it.
One of her favorite activities is to supervise The Girl Who Thinks She’s a Bird while she loads the dishwasher. She likes to make sure all the plates are CLEAN before they go in the dishwasher I guess.
Play hard, nap hard, that is Lucy’s motto. It’s a good thing she doesn’t get an allowance, because she’d spend it all on crappy stuffed animals from Target.
You can totally tell she’s one of those high maintenance suburbia dogs too.
Apparently the Handsome Husband has an “in” with the Easter Bunny and he arranged to have Lucy’s eggs delivered a wee bit early this year. To put it mildly, she loves per pEi pet bed we found on Living Social last week.
Ahh yes, life is rough for that sweet little dog. Life is rough.

She is just the cutest little thing!!! Really makes me want to get a dog, but the cat and squirrel wouldn’t appreciate it. I’ll just have to live vicariously through you with your Lucy postings!
Sarah says
My head is going to explode from the cuteness! 🙂
Marcy says
Awwww, she is SO stinkin’ cute! My 5 month old pitbull/Cane Corso mix loooooves to help load the dishwasher! I haven’t had a dog since I was a kid and it’s amazing how much personality dogs have when they’re yours.

Mavis,
Lucy is too cute! Too cute! I would definitely buy one of those eggs for my dog Boux. But…I don’t think it will hold his 50lb Rottweiler/Dachshund mixed hiney.
Mom of 2 dogs says
Always look forward to your updates on Lucy!
Mavis says
Thanks! She is such a cutie!
Lisap says
too cute…if she did get an allowance, take her to the dollar tree, they have tons of stuffed animals for….$1

I love that little dog! One of my pups also supervises loading the dishwasher.
Mavis says
Ha! She hears the sound of the dishwasher opening and comes running! 🙂
Ellen says

How fun!

I get a large plastic garbage full of stuffed toys at Goodwill for .99/bag. I sort out the toys – ones with beans (such as beanie babyies) or that hard crusty type stuffing are either put in a yard sale or goes back to GW. She gets to pull the stuffing out of the others or play tug-o-war. My dog’s two favorite things to do with hers.
Kathy says
She is such a cutie! My dog can be outside and if she hears me loading dishes, she will come to the kitchen window and stare at me until I let her in. Straight to the dishwasher she goes!
I love Lucy’s belly in the picture of her curled up in her bed with her green frog. Cuteness!

I wanted to pass along another warning about plants poisonous to dogs…rhubarb is extremely poisonous. The leaves especially!
Mavis says
Thanks Kim. Good to know since we have 5 rhubarb plants.
