It’s easy to fall head over heels for a furry face!
We met Lucy when we were training her as a puppy to become a Future Guide Dog.
Sometimes that “Tail” changes
Lucy it turns it out had some allergies.
Skin testing, shampoo’s and baths , eating only a special food were all things that we did along the way. Shortly after her first birthday we were able to have blood work done that checked for different allergens.
She wasn’t allergic to humans or peanuts but there were a few other allergens that she was allergic to.
Routine allergy shots have improved Lucy’s life and Lucy has improved ours.
We adopted Lucy! ❤️
I know there are dogs that with scent training that have been able to sniff out drugs or cancer.
I feel like after my dad’s esophageal cancer diagnosis in 2019 that Lucy knew that were times when he wasn’t feeling well.
Lucy is a very cuddly dog but, whenever anyone has been feverish she quickly moves away.
Recently my dad was taking a quick nap on the couch. As he awakened Lucy came over put her front paws on for a minute or two and then lay down on the floor beside him.
My Mom who checks Dexcom readings routinely told my dad that there was a shift in his blood Sugar
Lucy has never been trained in recognizing scents.
I don’t think she needs to recognize those scents to be sensitive to them.
I think the time she spends with us makes it easier possibly for her to pick up on the changes with our bodies.
Lucy’s story may be different than what was originally intended.
I think that this chapter is beautifully written.
