I'd like to introduce you to our pup, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Anyone who knows me, will hear me talk about Lucy approximately 57 times an hour because I am obsessed. But who wouldn't be? Did you look at that face? Lucy enjoys sharing pillows at bedtime, watching for squirrels out the window and batting ice cubes around the living floor.
We adopted Lucy in December of 2012 from POET Animal Rescue. Lucy's mom, a basenji mix, was brought to the rescue with bad case of demodectic mange. She was pregnant with Lucy and her brothers and sister, Hey Jude, Rocket Man and Mustang Sally. Lucy weighed 9 pounds when we took her home. So tiny!
Though Lucy had a clean bill of health when we adopted her, after only a few weeks in our home, she developed mange, like her mother. We were shocked as we watched our little fluff ball lose her fur on her face, legs and belly. Even though she looked like she could have been cast in The Walking Dead, our zombie puppy remained sweet and spunky.
Lucy's fur came back before spring and by mid-summer she was officially mange free. She's only been part of our family for just over a year now, but it's hard to remember life before Lucy!
