Be My Valentine

Lucy here...

It's Valentine's Day and mom dressed me up in  a fashion-forward candy-heart printed pink scarf.  Whee, I'm trending....

Sending you and yours lovey-dog kisses this Valentine's Day.  Woof!

How Do I Love Thee

It's Valentine's Day.  For our Lucy with her many pet names such as Lucy Dog, Lovie Dog, Lover Dog, Lil Girl, Sweet Pea, Sweetie, Sweetie Pie and Sugar Plum, it means a new toy.  "Arf", she says with delight!

We gave her a little pink pig with a squeaker in it.  Squeak, squeak, squeak--all day and throughout the evening.  We are certainly glad she is enjoying it.  It's a little thing that means a bunch to her.  Keeping her mind stimulated, keeps her out of trouble.

Lucy and her new stuffed toy

This picture of Lucy with her tongue out reminds me of a television commercial from my childhood...

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Charms Blow Pop?

What does that have to do with Lucy, you ask?  For her, the commercial would be...

"How many chews does it take to get the squeaker out of my new toy?"

How do I love thee? Let me count thy chews....

Friday Flowers--Valentine's Day, How Do I Love Thee

I located this"Friday Flowers" comic strip of mine while posting the previous one a few weeks ago. Thought it was apprpro for the month of February and Valentine's Day. The captions read:

(Lucy-dog) Oh, how do I love my mama and daddy this Valentine's Day! Let me count thy ways.....one lick, two licks, three licks....
(Steve) Lucy, stop hogging mama. It's my turn!

Never met a man so jealous of a dog. Never met a dog so jealous of a man. It's great to be Queen!


Steve & I celebrated this Valentine's Day at The Cheesecake Factory eating salads and a "slice". We celebrated with Lucy by adding a new toy to her collection, giving her two raw quails and lots of heavy petting. Her "licks" were never-ending. She's such a happy dog!
