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.)

Where's the Beef?
As many of you know and if you don't know, you do now, I feed Lucy a raw diet consisting of raw meat and produce. The other day, I forgot to take her meat out of the freezer to thaw. So off to the store I went to "fetch" Lucy some meat. I picked up a package of each, beef and chicken.
Upon my arrival home, Lucy greeted me with a wagging tail and her nose to my bag. I pulled both containers of meat out of the bag and held them out to her asking "What would you like for dinner: beef or chicken?"
Lucy sniffed both packages. She gave the chicken package two licks and licked the package of beef forever. I thanked her and immediately mixed a piece of beef with pureed snow peas and lettuce. She gobbled it and that was the end of that! Her tummy was full and now it was time to "play ball".

Lucy Has Cancer, Part 5
Since my last posting regarding Lucy's cancer, we took Lucy to have her lung x-rays . Great news: Clear--no signs of cancer!
During the x-ray reading, Doctor Kevin informed me Lucy's tummy was full of chicken bones. He let me know in case she had gotten into the trash. I told him they were from the chicken leg she ate for lunch. Yum, yum!
Lucy is thriving on her grain-free, raw food diet. She went from an allergic, ichy, hot spot, yeasty-earred dog to clear skin, no bald spots and spotless, clean smelling ears. Yippee!
In addition to Lucy's raw diet, she receives the following supplements to support her immune system:
We have more great news: Lucy made it through her second surgery to remove two additional tumors! She had prolotherapy injections to her torn ACL in her knee too. The two tumors were benign and her knee is getting stronger. Doctor Kevin at Loving Touch Animal Center: You rock!
Upon the healing of her incisions, we started messaging Lucy's scars to prevent scar tissue from forming and adhering to other internal areas of her body. Lucy loves the extra-special attention. Who doesn't love a message?
Lucy is a bit more tired these days. We've started our 1 mile walks again. She doesn't ever seem too tired to walk me. I forgot how fast she goes and got shin splints the first few times. They were well worth the smile on her face as she paced through the 'hood to smell the roses. Err, replace the word "roses" with "pee spots".
We are extremely happy Lucy made it through her surgeries. Her innocent, joyful spirit completes our lives.
