Quote of the Day “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” Coco Channel
This dog! She is on the mend. Yesterday she was out barking at the lawnmower and even chased a squirrel. No more shaking and her appetite is back. Yay Lucy!
Today will be a garden day…. Just look at those temperatures on the horizon! Oddly enough, we are getting our wood-stove installed at the end of the week and I’m a little bummed out we won’t be able to fire it up to test everything out. 😉 Oh well,I’m sure we’ll have plenty of time for that.
Have a wonderful day today….
♥ Mavis & Miss Lucy Puggle

Lauren King says
Good to hear that Lucy is feeling better, she sure has a lot of people sending love!
Cyn says
So glad to hear that Lucy is feeling better, Mavis!
Emma says
So good to hear Lucy is doing better!!!!
Kathie S. says
I am so happy to hear that Lucy is on the mend.
Katelyn says
I was thinking you might want to revisit your meal prep decision on weeks like this – it’s going to be hot in VT, too, so I’m gonna cook a bunch of chicken tonight and make a frittata so I’m prepared for when it’s too hot to turn on the oven or stove (our grill is busted, sadly). I don’t even like to wash lettuce when it’s 90 degrees out!
Robin says
Wonderful news about Lucy! So happy she’s back to enjoying life. We’re unable to have a dog right now (we have one very sweet and very spoiled indoor cat) and I enjoy reading about her adventures. 🙂
Stacie says
SO glad to hear Lucy is feeling better!
Elise in the SF Bay Area says
What relief that Lucy responding to the treatment! Here’s to many wonderful days ahead 🙂
And reinforcement of your motto to live life to the fullest NOW 🙂
Peg says
So so glad to hear Lucy’s on the mend! Our pets are four-legged family members and deserve great care.
lynne says
Relieved to hear that Miss Lucy is getting back to her troubly self. Makes my heart happy <3…LynneinWI
Diana says
Way to go Lucy! So glad for all of you! *wipes tear*
Tracy says
There is just nothing worse than when your pet is truly ill and you don’t know what’s wrong, and they can’t tell you. Then they look at you with those EYES, waiting for you to just make it better. Waaah! So, so glad your pup is feeling better. Addison’s, if it is confirmed that’s what she has, is serious, but can certainly be managed. So, good! By the way, I also find plain boiled chicken or lean beef, pureed, to be the best, most palatable food to get a dog to eat and to go easy on her GI tract. But be sure to always add about 50/50 with boiled rice, or you run the risk of major constipation. I make the rice with too much water, so it’s almost a slurry, then add the protein. This way they not only slurp it up, but they get some hydration, too. I kept a cat with awful irritable bowel disease alive on that mess for almost six years, plus liquid vitamins and minerals!
Ellen says
Go, Lucy!!!
Carrie says
Make sure you test out your stove when it is still nice enough to have all doors and windows open. Our stove and new chimney pipes were super stinky the first tme or two.
Also, I would love yoir reviews on Zycon items. I know you have done some in the past. I am always curious about some of there items and how they compare to non zycon options. For example is their ground turkey on par with the Foster Farms stufd I get at Costco?) I wish you could order a sample pack!
Laurel says
Zaycon just announces that they are suspending operations.
Amanda says
Hey Mavis! I just saw several posts that Zaycon has discontinued service effective today. I wasn’t sure how true it was and visited their website. They are indeed shutting down services until further notice.
Pam Kaufman says
I have been so worried about Lucy and am so happy and relieved to hear she is on the mend!
Laurel says
Mavis,
I am so sad to hear about Zaycon, I have multiple orders outstanding and now they are suspending operations but it sounds much worse than that. I enjoyed what I got from them. You may want to pull all promotions for them.
Nancy says
I’m sure your vet has checked Lucy’s anal glands, but if they get impacted, that can cause some of the symptoms you described (hiding, shaking). Hope she’s on the mend soon!
