 May 12, 2025 eblast:

 

Last week while we were busy saving Marmalade, we lost another.

One that we saved close to 7 years ago.

 

Like Marmalade, she was waiting patiently for us at an animal shelter.

Like Marmalade, she was as sweet as the day is long.

 

Her name was Lucy.

And…WE LOVED LUCY.

 

Of course, her family knew her best. All the silly stories that came with loving Lucy. All the special moments. All the memories that will be cherished forever.

 

I miss out on those things sadly.

I'm just the in-between human.

 

But I can tell you, these beagles still leave a mark on my heart.

And Lucy was definitely no exception.

 

The thing that I remember most is right here in these pictures.

Lucy and her signature pose.

A pose with purpose!

Nobody could collect belly rubs quite like Lucy.

The original Influencer.

Resistance was futile.

If she didn't have you at the "Come Hither" pose, she'd get you with her heartmelting big brown eyes.

If that didn't work, she'd use her comedic talents. Out spread the comical beagle ears for her signature BatGirl impression.

 

She was a Triple Threat.

I know this from personal experience. I fell victim the moment we met. Like everyone else did.

 

What choice but surrender to her and serve up those beloved belly rubs?

No shame in that. It happened to all of us.

From the animal care workers at the shelter to her foster family and finally, to her Forever Family.

 

Lori and Bernard, thank you for always giving in to Lucy.

I'm sure you lost count of the belly rubs over the years.

They just came naturally, like loving Lucy.

 

Let's light a candle for Lucy tonight and for her family that never tired of rubbing that tummy.

She's no doubt making quite an impression in heaven with Portia right now (Portia was an Influencer in her own right), but Bat-Girl has effortlessly left her mark right here too…on all our hearts forever.

 

We Love You, Lucy. Always Will.

This is Lucy. We love Lucy. We loved her the moment we read the email from our friends at Toronto Animal Services…

 

 

 

Lucy is a sweet, senior girl with no behavioural issues. She is a total doll with humans and other friendly like-minded dogs. She doesn't think much of the overly obnoxious ones. We estimate her to be about 8 years old. She has some mild dental issues, some skin tags and cysts associated with aging, but nothing glaring to speak of. We suspect the cysts are benign but will likely be recurring and may have the potential to make her uncomfortable if they grow too large. She's been vaccinated for DA2PP/Rabies/Bordatella, spayed, microchipped, dewormed and is currently on a course of antibiotics for her skin.

 

 

 

We love Lucy.

 

We love her enough to put aside our financial worries.

 

But we must act quickly.

 

The shelter is currently at their max with abandoned dogs and they may have the start of a Kennel Cough outbreak on their hands. Lucy has started to cough. Being an older dog, her best defence against this upper respiratory infection so common in shelter circumstances would be to get out of the shelter asap and into a quiet and peaceful enivornment while undergoing a course of antibiotics for 3 weeks.

 

 

 

So we are in search of a loving foster home (with no other dogs as it is contagious) for dear little Lucy. In fact, if you're looking to adopt a lovely beagle, we would consider a Foster to Adopt scenario in Lucy's case. We suspect she is highly adoptable and will only require minimal veterinary care at this time.

Yesterday after our hilarious HOWL-O-WEENIE in the PARK-EENIE wrapped up, we hopped in the beagle-mobile and drove out to Toronto Animal Services to pick up an equally hilarious little beagle girl…this one here, with the bit Bat Ears, otherwise known as Lucy! And we thought we couldn't LOVE Lucy more…

 

 

 

We REALLY REALLY LOVE LUCY!!!

 

 

 

Big thanks to long-time foster parents, Judy & Andrew, for offering Lucy a comfy cozy foster home to recover from her spay surgery while getting endless tummy rubs! We're going to give our comical clown some time to heal and settle before we begin our search for just the right FOREVER HOME! Maybe in the meantime, Lucy wouldn't mind being our official promoter for this year's BEAGLE BASH FOR CASH! After all, we couldn't come to the rescue of adorable little beagles like Lucy without the success of our BIGGEST BESTEST Event of the Year!
