Busy Days!

Whew! I've been busy! I had a class and I'm getting ready to paint. Lucy likes me to be home with her all day. She is much happier when I'm home with her than when I have to go to work. On Sunday, we spent a long time outside. I read and sometimes threw the ball for her. She laid in the shade (on the step by the garage) and sometimes would bring the ball and drop it next to my chair. It was too hot for her to play a lot of fetch. She'd get the ball a couple of times, then need to take a break.

I changed the bedding tonight. It's a hard job with Lucy around. She likes to jump up on the bed when I'm changing the sheets. She lays in the middle of the bed and makes me work around her. Sigh.

My nephew is here this week. Lucy really likes 'the boy'. He is a good player and will throw the ball a lot. Lucy thinks having 'the boy' here all the time would be grand, but 'the boy' doesn't want to live in this town. Lucy doesn't bark at 'the boy' the way she barks at everyone else when they come and go.

It amazes me how much Lucy likes kids considering she doesn't live with any. My friend has a two year old little boy, and Lucy thinks he is a good playmate and ball thrower (even though he only throws it a couple of feet in front of him.) The neighbor girl (see above) is a good friend to Lucy, and sometimes she babysits her kindergarten cousin. The little cousin and Lucy are a good match. They are both full of energy. . .personalities my mom calls "being a pistol." Sometimes they come over and play with Lucy. . .Lucy enjoys them too. Lucy is not picky about who throws the ball or flippy-flopper. If someone wants to throw it, she is a happy camper!
