Lucy In Da House

It's been a long while since I updated you on Lucy. So in honor of her turning two at the end of this month, here's what she's been up to lately.

She is in the house a lot this winter. It has been so cold and last week when school was cancelled because of the bitter temps, she spent her days inside.

She keeps herself occupied licking everything- the floor, chairs, the open dishwasher, something in the mudroom closet. Lick, lick, lick.

We have toys for her- chicken flavored, bacon flavored, different textures- all that. She gets them all out of her tub where we keep them and keeps them in one big pile where she can chew on them as she chooses. Every night we I pick them up. Every morning she pulls them out. I'm going to try to train her to put them away. Any tips?

She loves with a capital L Nerf darts. If those are laying about, which they are, they are everywhere- I even found one in my kitchen utensil crock- she snatches them faster than a Kong filled with peanut butter, cheese and bacon! About a dozen bullets have met their fate in the jaws of Lucy. She's not really sorry either. Just look at her. She's more sorry she got caught.

She also loves things with squeakers in them. If you want to keep her occupied and have a big mess, give her a stuffed anything with a squeaker hidden inside. Consequently, we no longer buy her these kinds of toys.

The kids have learned that a warm day means its a poop-scooping day. 

But if you want to love her, rub her belly and try to take a selfie with her.
