Well, New Years Eve marks Lucy's 48th week!

We actually had to leave Lucy behind when we went on our annual family holiday. Thank goodness it is only 4 days and Lucy's breeder looked after Lucy for us without any hesitation or question. LUCKY US!

So there were no accidents in OUR house, but I hear the flood gates were open so to speak at the breeders. She started a trend over there too apparantly getting her brother and sister caught in the act of going inside too!

She barked to her hearts content and wrestled all the day long in between sleeping on top of the breeders husband with the other three poodles on their couch. All in all, a good time for her!

There was a bit of snow this week!


Wrasslin' a nylon away from her brother! JUMP!

Well, this is a picture that I couldn't get to open up before posting the last update... Lucy and friends sleeping with her breeders husband while we were away. The black bit behind is another poodle, not a pillow

Lucy is 49 weeks now. Another week with no accidents! YES! She's just getting to be so much a part of our family. Every day she gets better and better, and that's without having as much time as I'd like to invest.

Next week my daughter is going to her very first 4H meeting, hopefully this will lead into a LOT more training and fun time for Lucy and Rachel. 4H is like FFA in the states if you're curious. Once it gets rolling there will be weekly agility and training classes with lots of other kids and dogs. Can't wait to meet all the poodles, I hear there are already 1 standard, two minis and another toy!

Sleepy Lucy...


Helping with getting the groceries!

Yay for the toilet training! Lucy gets more gorgeous by the day. Sounds like she is in for a busy year! Hope 2013 is a great year for you and your family.

Wow, we are already at week 50!

There was just one poop in the house this week, and can't really blame her. I fed her too late in the evening and usually I get up in the night to go to the washroom myself so I'll take her out at the same time. This particular night I slept through. Oh well!

I love how much time my daughter Rachel is spending with Lucy. She is really getting so bonded with her, it's a real pleasure to watch them get closer and closer. An example of that bond is the blurry pic below. I was just walking by the living room and glanced over to see that Rachel was reading to Lucy in her pen. So sweet it gives you cavities!



Here is Lucy laying in a winter sunbeam. I quit using the Angel eyes a few days ago, gave Lucy a fresh face shave (which she's getting AWESOME with letting me do by the way) and honestly feel the tearing seem less lately?! Wishfull thinking?!? MAYBE! lol


Still haven't relaxed the bands quite enough in this pic! lol!


I found myself making a resolution last night to NOT let her wear clothes again until she has a shorter haircut. I had to spend an extra long time working at matts that only seem to appear when she's wearing clothes... HOWEVER. Tonight I found myself again trying a different one of her many jackets. It's just so darn cold out there right now...

This one is a custom made one she got for xmas. It was SUPPOSED to be fluorescent orange to match her most often used colour of bands, however it seems more of a mariners orange which has more red. Oh well, the reflectors are GREAT!

What a sweet little girl (both of them).

She has very little tear staining. I have heard that it can be tied to the digestive system. When my sister in law's small poodle had loose stools he had tear staining. She changed his food from the ultra rich food she was giving him to Halo, which is simple ingredients. The tear stains disappeared and his poop was firm. Just an idea, but she swears it was digestive in nature. Lucy seems like she has only a touch now. Just a little bit to go and she will be clean as a whistle. Angel eyes does work, too. There's nothing prettier than a clean face, although Lucy is pretty just the way she is.

my little one gets natural yoghurt, raw grated carrot and some type of raw meat, about 3 to 4 times a week. she also has royal canin poodle kibble for her morning meal. she has never had tear staining. she is now just over a year old. i also keep her face short. lucy is a lovely color, my girl started as that color but has cleared to creamy color although she does appear to be darkening again
