Stroy Of A Stray --Lucy

Lucy has a sad past but her life is beautuful but she does have issues. I met her 3-4 years ago when a niegbor got her at my local dog and cat rescue. She was found in a field under a barn shelter with another dog. No one knows how long or if the dog was her pup. She was sweet and lovable, but She is a wanderer. If she sees an open gate, she takes a walk around the neigborhood. No good. Last week I took care of her for a week. I made sure than she had plently of exercise. The last hour of her visit, somehow my gate got left open and luckly I went oustside with Bud for his after dinner romp. Much to my shock i saw the gate open and NO Lucy !! Luckly she was down the street following a gal with her dog. When you love a stray it means that you have your life to help this stray have a good long Next week I am getting security power gate with a lock. I will have a buzzer and remote.I have been wanting this for awhile.Bud will never leave his yard but dogs will follow their nose.

Old Dog Need His Play And Rest

Bud wants to play all the time even when he is tired. As the pack leader I now that he is 13 have changes some of his routines. I take him very other day to the beach where he hopes down 2 filths of stairs, some day we go two days and not the 3rd day.I go by how frizby he asks. Never when it too hot. The heat drains him...me too. We are oldtimers! He use to run down them. Now I hope my breath while he goes down the steep steps. I yell at him." Be careful one step at time.......you got this! Whe he gets to the sand i yell' Your the man you are the best!" I throw an old black frrizbee so he sees it better. He is smiling the entire time. Check out his tounge out in the yard with the fribzbee that we play with after dinner every day. Then he is tired and happy.I know that a tired dog is a happy dog. LOVE THIS LAB!!
