Anne, Lucy, and myself… all babies

If Lucy was on a Belle and Sebastian album cover, this would be it.

in the kitchen

on my bed – this image inspired a self portrait I did later:

loving the flowers

goofing around in the fresh-cut grass

Attempts to hog Lucy proved futile

in the kitchen with Anne; probably awaiting a treat

in the leaves

maxin'

guarding the homestead

A hard day at the office; with a teenaged Kelly

The bent end of her poor broken tail hung off the porch step so naturally.

on my blanket

washing up at the top of the stairs, then hiding her face in coy embarrassment when she caught me photographing her

at her favorite spot in front of the stove; my dad took these

I can't believe how little Lucy is in this photo with Anne and me

in the kitchen

no caption I could write here would truely compete with Lucy's cuteness

with my feet; Summer 2004

This is the only photo at my bedside

dolled up

Waiting for me in the driveway to come home at night; I love how fuzzy her paws look here.

Kelly and Lucy; note Anne climbing aboard in the background

in the laundry room

Lucy slept with me almost every night, even if it was on the couch

This is the last photo taken of Lucy and me, and probably my favorite; 9 July, 2004

innocent until proven guilty

peeking down the stairway

in the southeast bedroom

wondering what I am doing

I love this photo of her wih Anne.

Lucy once told me that she loved life.
