Happy Thanksgiving
Dear Friends and Fans,
Hoping that everyone will have a Happy Thanksgiving with family and loved ones tomorrow. Sheri has been expressing her attitude of gratitude for the tangible and intangible things of life. I'm not sure what those two words mean but I do know that I am thankful for the little things in my life that make me a special loved corgi pup in my family. Darren makes up games for me to play and he made me a new 'JUG on a String' yesterday. It wasn't quite the same as my old one, but I am getting used to it and 'JUG' is still my favorite of all the games we play. Darren takes extra time with me when he gets in late from work and plays outside on the grass with my yellow soft rubber freezbee. He tells me I'm getting better at it, just learning to jump real high with my short legs is hard, but I don't stop trying because I want to please him and get rewards of petting and hugging!
Sheri makes me feel special because she makes time for a daily walk down to the walking park and around the school and lets me stop often to smell flowers and other things that only a dog can love. She also makes up my meals with homemade doggy foods, people foods that agree with me, that doesn't upset my tummy. She read on the dog web about how to make homemade dogfood and boy do those meals beat all that ole canned and dry dog food with no taste! Sheri lets me sit in her lap when she is in her chair and massages my neck and back. Sometimes I get so relaxed that I take a nap and just relax. She also brushes my coat and I like that too because it feels so good!
Harold is a good man and he likes me a lot. He has 'spoiled' me with giving me a few 'Cherrios' at breakfast each morning. He tells me that I have 'it made' whatever that means...Sometimes I sleep with Harold if Darren isn't at home when it's bedtime, and Harold likes my company...he has told me that and I believe it. I like to rest on the big sofa along side Harold when he takes a nap. He tells me that I must be quiet and still and that's what I do because we do like those naps...
Last of all, I continually try to make friends with Kitty Kat (Sunshine) and sometimes she lets me get really close to her without hissing at me. I discovered that she likes to smell my food, and that's when I get a little defensive and protect that bowl of homemade food. Once in a while, Sheri will say, "I think you two animals are beginning to form a real relationship/friendship!" She says it with happiness in her voice and I like the sound of her voice when she talks like this.
It's a good life for me here in the DeLoach family...and I am thankful that God allowed me to be adopted by this family and love and care for me just like another person! Yes, I think I am a little person...sometimes...but Sheri says my 'dog instincts kick in when we are on walks!
Love with paw prints,
Luci Linda

Luci and Sheri on a walk today...10.14.2010
Hello friends,
Sorry I haven't written a blog for a while...just seems like time slips away these beautiful autumn days...so cool outdoors, wonderful weather for walks in the park with Sheri.
Today we had an late evening walk around the elementary school, playground, the meadow, and to the walking park. It was nice there, quiet, a cool breeze, and Sheri let me stop at my fav trees where I left my scent and picked up a few new ones! Oh, how much fun that walk in the park with all the trees and a big circular wide walk with a grassy playground in the middle. It felt really good to take our time and enjoy the beautiful weather with no other doggies there. I did one naughty thing that Sheri told me was not the thing to do. I noticed that Sheri had tossed her gum under a tree in a grassy spot, and something got into me that said, "you need that gum" and boy was it good for a few seconds until I accidently swolled it...I didn't feel too badly as this was the first time I'd gotten to taste and chew gum, even if it was 'used'! Next time, I'm hoping that Sheri will give me a new shiny piece of that spearmint she chews on our walks! After all, my family know I am a family member and like the same things they like...even chewing gum now!
More stories to come...lots has happened in the past month that I want to write about...so stay tuned...for my next blog...
Love to all my friends and fans,
Luci - "DoLittle" (sheri's latest nickname for me...that fits me...I like it)

Luci brings comfort and peace to our sick friend
September 10, 2010
Hello everyone,
This afternoon, Sheri came home from shopping and as she promised me, we drove out of town to visit our dear friend who is very sick with 'ALS.' I am not sure what that means, but I do like to go visit her because we have a connection that no one can explain. Sheri calls it, 'Luci's innate ability to sense when a sick person needs comfort and love from an animal.'
When we got to the nursing home, Sheri walked me around the place for a potty break. She says the walk helps give me and her too, a good workout! The gardener had put out new fall flowers, mums, in bright yellows and reds in the flower gardens. Color Spots, as Sheri told me. I had to examine the fresh, soft, good smelling soil in that flower bed because it sure looked like a good place I might dig, sometime...when all alone, as that is one of my fav things to do...
When we went inside, there were several little grey haired ladies in wheelchairs that noticed me and wanted to pet me and talk about their pets in their past. One elderly gentleman paid special attention to me and told us that he knew our friend and that she sure is a nice lady! Sheri notified the nurse at the nurse's station that we were here to visit our friend. Her room is right next to where the nurses sit when not helping other residents.
Sheri knocked on the door and said, 'Hello,........., Luci and I are here to visit you!" ( in her most cheerful voice!) and asked if she would like a visit. Of course she did and nodded her head, 'yes.' I sensed that our friend was sicker than I'd seen her last time and I wanted to get close and lay by her. Sheri pulled a chair up really close to her hospital bed, and told me to jump up in (Sheri's lap.) I did what she said because I knew our sweet friend would like to see me and let me give her a few butterfly kisses on her hand. Sheri began to share things that had happened since we last visited. I wanted to get closer to her, so Sheri let me lay on the edge of her bed, with my head facing down, and I snuggled up real close, so she could feel my heart beating and hear my breathing. It was comfortable there, and I felt at home and took a nap. I was still as a mouse because I knew this is important when people are not feeling well. Our friend expressed to Sheri that she really loved me being there with her and feeling me close to her. Sometimes our friend would make a groaning sound of pleasure about me, because she is unable to speak. It felt so natural and good to be of comfort to our beloved friend. Later, at home, I heard Sheri telling Darren about the visit and she said, "This visit was different as I felt the presence of the spirit of God moving about in that room." A spiritual experience is something Sheri said that no one can explain, a mystery, just between a person, and God. Sheri held our friend's hand and said a prayer for her before we left. I am learning how to be quiet during prayers and did real good with this one! Sheri gave me a treat when we started driving back home, as she said, 'Luci, you did a wonderful job today, comforting our sick friend, and I am proud of you!' She also petted me all the way home! That felt good! It makes me know that I am loved and respected...
Oh, one other comment, Sheri asked our friend if she thought I was becoming a good therapy pet dog and she nodded her head, 'yes.' I'm sure I saw tears in her eyes because she was so happy and at peace. I was just doing my job, as I love making sick people feel better and lift their spirits...
Until next time, I will say good night, sweet dreams, and God bless.
Luv,
Lucille 'Luci' Ball
