Rub My Belly (Buttons)
Lucy loves belly rubs. It's the funniest thing. She'll be looking at you. Then instantly she is laying down and lifting her rear leg to have her belly rubbed. My husband, Steve, often asks why she does this. My reply is that she can and it feels good.
The other day, I watched the show "Wildlife Nannies" for the first time. Baby monkeys, who lost their mothers, were being taken care of by humans 'til they were grown enough to live on their own. Upon feeding the monkeys, their belly's would be rubbed to promote digestion like their mothers did in the wild. I wondered if this was the answer to Steve's question about Lucy's rubs.

Find Me and Lucy Dog On Facebook
I often write about my dog, Lucy, on Facebook. We share many wonderful memories together and several of my pet paintings are based on our relationship.
That being said, I want to thank each and every one of my fans for joining my Facebook page, Good Girl Designs - The Fun Art of Susan Calvert. Lucy and I truly enjoy interacting with you. (Yes, I read all posts and replies to Lucy. I let her know who "likes" what her mommy has written about her.)

25 Random Things about Me
Recently, I listed these "25 Random Things About Me" on Facebook. Thought I'd add some additional info and pictures.
1. The 1st time people visit my home, they come to see me. The 2nd time people visit my home, they come to see my dog, Lucy. She is a wonderful entertainer!

2. In 4th grade, I was awarded 1st place in the entire school district for coloring a picture promoting fire safety.
3. I prefer to sweep my house with a broom rather than vacuum. (The best vacuum cleaner I've used is a Shark Roadster Euro-Pro. Inexpensive too.)
4. I have MCS (Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) and suffer with severe migraines for days after being in the presence of perfume/cologne, scented lotions, detergent, air fresheners, hairspray, synthetic chemicals and the like.
5. I love flying kites and always take my Crayola kite on vacation: http://tinyurl.com/c8cdgn
6. The moving company said they'd never packed as many cookbooks as I had. I'm into raw food now. A good, easy cookbook is "Raw Food Made Easy".
7. In 2001, my monoprint entitiled "Mummy Dearest" was awarded 1st place in printmaking at ECC.

8. For the last 8 yrs., I've done laundry in this fashion:
* Add 1 cup (plain) Arm & Hammer baking soda to washer bin
* Place clothes in washer by COLOR
* Fill softener cup with white vinegar
* Wash on hot
* Place a waded up piece of aluminum foil in dryer with clothes
Viola! Clean clothes, no static, less expensive, NO CHEMICALS.
9. I use organic unrefined coconut oil as my body moisturizer and in my hair for a new look. I cook with it too. NO CHEMICALS AGAIN!
10. I like modern, colorful, eclectic furniture from Axi: http://www.axifurniture.com , Shoestring Creations: http://www.shoestringcreations.net/Been_There_Done_That/index.htm and Sticks: http://www.sticks.com.
11. I use my (prescribed) far infrared sauna from High Tech Health weekly to sweat out toxins: http://www.hightechhealth.com .
12. My art has graced the pages of Animal Fair magazine twice: http://www.animalfair.com
13. I studied horticulture at 3 colleges and am a certified Master Gardener from the University of IL Cooperative Extension Service in Kane County, IL. I've physically installed our landscapes at our last 2 homes. I use a Neuton battery-operated mower to cut our lawn. Works great even on our hilly landscape and NO CHEMICAL FUMES! http://www.neutonpower.com
14. I feed my dog only human food. Lucy loves veggies!
15. I am a self-entertaining individual with lots of projects. My favorite project in 2008 was my bathroom renovation: http://tinyurl.com/b8svw6
16. People are surprised at all the produce in my refrigerator, especially when they see the trays of live wheat grass growing. I juice it!

17. I get bored easily. I start one project, another and another. Then I go back to the first project and complete it and so forth with the remaining projects I’ve started. Is this ADD? It drives my husband mad!
18. We open the windows whenever possible to refresh the air. I use essential oils and only organic ones as air fresheners when necessary. Tea Tree oil has anti-bacterial properties that purify the air and kills germs and mold.
19. In 2003, my painting entitled “Shortstop” was awarded 1st place-watercolors at the Contemporary Dog Art Competition held in NYC at Sardi’s Restaurant. The judges were Chris Jussel, past Senior Vice President at Sotheby’s and original host of the PBS television series, “Antique Roadshow”; Dr. Anne Imelda Radice, who serves on the art committee of the American Kennel Club and is past Curator of both the National Gallery of Arts and the U.S. Capitol; and Jane H. Willis, Instructor at New York University and President of the Appraisers Association of America. I'm very proud of this.

20. I silly dance daily for a change of scenery. Silly dance = dancing to upbeat music with my dog, Lucy.
21. You will hardly find any processed food in my home. I make most everything from scratch. If you drop in unexpectedly, I’ll only be able to offer you H2O or tea. Once in a while, I indulge with a Green & Black’s Maya Gold chocolate bar. They’re the best!
22. I enjoy going to music concerts, especially at Chastain Amphitheater in Atlanta.
23. My home projects receive many compliments and inspire others to be creative.
24. I love hardware, office supply and art stores. Anything to get/keep me organized!
25. I have spent the last 8 yrs. learning about the effects chemicals have on our health: how the food we eat, products we place on our bodies and breathe affects our health. I have a library in my home on the subject. We are merely living test tubes!
