Lucy had some adventures this month while we were in Shelton! Not realizing they were poisonous to dogs, I fed Lucy and Cheryl’s dog Lola some raisins on the long weekend at the beginning of September. Something niggled at my mind, and I Googled “raisins and dogs” and discovered my mistake. After talking with an online vet, I rushed to Wal-Mart and got the

appropriate items to induce vomiting in the dogs. It was very nerve wracking, but it all turned out OK (thank goodness!). Next time, I will Google any dog snack first!

On our next trip over, Lucy and a smelly adventure. Bev’s home has a large, fenced yard, which is a great place for the dogs to run and play while we are working. I was in the primary bedroom, working on clearing things out, and I noticed a terrible smell suddenly. I sniffed around, trying to locate the smell, and noticed Lucy sitting on the bed, looking smug. Sure enough, the smell was radiating from her. She had found some racoon poop in the yard and rolled in it. It was all over her head, neck and her harness. OMG, talk about a stink! I washed her in the sink several times, but a slight smell lingered as a reminder of her Shelton adventure.

🐾 Introducing Lucy’s Corner! 🐾

We’re excited to launch a brand new monthly feature on our blog and newsletter: Lucy’s Corner — updates, musings, and adventures from our favorite four-legged team member!

Some of you may already know Lucy’s story. She was a street dog in Jalisco, Mexico, rescued by a breeder in Everett. Don’t worry — she came through all the proper channels, so no risk of deportation… LOL! 😄

Since joining our lives at the end of February, Lucy has brought so much joy and goes just about everywhere with us. She’s truly the perfect real estate dog. 🏡🐶

Lately, she’s taken on a new role as recovery companion — staying curled up next to me in the office recliner as I heal from an ankle injury. She’s gentle, loyal, and clearly loving her new life here in the U.S.

Stay tuned for more Lucy updates each month, right here in Lucy’s Corner!
