Lucy’s Not-so good Selfie Sunday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Thanks to The Cat on My Head for hosting Sunday selfies. But I wish it wasn’t my selfie.

Yep, this is my stupid selfie. I’m wearing ghost lights, and I think the spirits of the ghosts are hovering around me. It’s all very Halloweenish. And if that wasn’t enough Chia photo-bombed me.

This was at 7:00 in the morning for our early morning walk. I was supposed to be lighting the way. Why couldn’t Mom just wear her flashy sash with the lights she turns on in the dark so we don’t get run over by any cars. (There’s no sidewalks on our street.)

The day just continued to get worse. Around noon, Mom took all three of us to the Greenway, which is a great big space about 15 minutes from our house. It has lots and lots of trails as well as open spaces and even two dog parks. But they require us dogs to stay on our leashes if we’re not in the dog park. We walked for almost an hour before Mom realized that it was a dead end without so much as a side trail to take as a shortcut back. The whole way there and back Chia kept pulling hard on her leash. Mom kept correcting her, and that scared me. So I started hanging back and Mom had to pull on my leash just to keep me walking. In other words, Chia was pulling her forward and I was pulling her backward, and then Xena got tired and was panting and wanted carried. Finally, Mom dropped my leash and told me just to walk with her. I didn’t. I sat down and let everyone else keep going. Mom was almost out of sight when she yelled back, “Goodbye, Lucy.” Oh no! She was really going to leave me! I got up and trotted to try to catch up, then changed my mind and stopped again. Mom finally came back and got me. Whew. I was so confused! She said she’s never taking all of us at the same time again. Never. Not ever. Not unless someone else is with her to help.

When we got home I went to hide in the bedroom closet.

Mom found me. But she let me stay there as long as I wanted. I didn’t stay too long. It was close to supper time.

That was Friday. Today is better. Happy Sunday, everyone. *wags* Lucy

  5. Poor Lucy!!! Not such a good day. But stay hopeful. Even Winnie the Pooh and Piglet had not-so-good days. But it always got better. Walking by yourself with just your mom is definitely more fun. No stress. The more the merrier is not always the case. lol!!!

  9. Java Bean: “Ayyy, that sounds like a walk that was a lot of work!”
    Chaplin: “We are 100% sure that your mom wasn’t going to leave you though. We think that was the ‘reverse psycarlogy’ you hear about sometimes.”
    Lulu: “Reverse psycarlogy?”
    Charlee: “Yeah, you know, it’s like you pretend one thing when what you really want is another thing? Like when you when you put the car in reverse and it goes forward instead?”
    Lulu: “I think you cats need to spend more time in cars.”
    Charlee: “THAT is definitely not true.”

  10. OMDs that must have been a very spooky walk. Very thankful no one(MOM) got tripped up with the leashes and all 4 of you made it home safely.

  11. Aww, poor Lucy. You’re so sweet and sensitive. Having a dog that pulls is never fun. We’re going to remedial classes with Wils when he walks with Elsa. He is always on hyper-alert for squirrels and has had a bad case of selective hearing lately. Sigh. In her dotage, Elsa pokes along. It’s as if the two of them have joined forces trying to tear me apart. Here’s hoping your Sunday is wagnificent. Sending gentle ear scritches, Lucy.

  13. Awwwww Lucy…..that sounds like a “not good” walkabout for sure. I don’t know about you but I absolutely like ROUTINE and if it’s not routine I get a bit confused and grumpy. Hopefully everything is OK now though. Sometimes we have to be brave and try new stuff but most of us like things to be JUST SO. Hope your Sunday is BETTER!

    Love, Teddy
