Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Bailey Displaced

~ John W. Howell

“Hey, Bailey. Come on let’s play. The sun is beautiful.”

“Hold on, Lucy. I hear something.”

“What is it?”

“Pickup trucks.”

“Yup. It’s worker approaching. Pops?”

“Yes, Bailey.”

“What kind of work are we having done now?”

“Floors, Bailey. I told you. Now you guys play while it is still light.”

Lucy and Bailey

“Look at our living room, Lucy. Someone has stolen the floors.”

“Hold on you two. No one took the floors. They have been torn up to be replaced. Look I brought a couple of beds to take the place of the couch.”

Lucy and Bailey

“Pretty skimpy, Boss. That couch was a gold mine. Is it gone forever?”

“No. Just till the new floors are installed.”

Lucy and Bailey

“Hey look at this. A puffy one.”

“Come on Lucy. I was here first.”

Lucy and Bailey

“And this means what?”

“Well, you could share.”

Lucy and Bailey

“I can see that’s not going to happen.”

“Okay, you guys. We need to move downstairs. The guys are going to rip out the underlayment.”

Lucy and Bailey

“That a good girl, Lucy. In the elevator.”

“With your cane, Boss.”

“I noticed. Hey, Bailey you coming?”

“I’m taking the stairs, Pops.”

Lucy and Bailey

“Here you are, Lucy. I have to say not much room.”

“That’s okay Boss. I have my beddie. Don’t need much else. Well, my food bowl and water. And toys, backyard, treats, and a ball.”

“How about you, Bailey?”

Lucy and Bailey

“Yeah pops. What Lucy said and her bed.”

“I don’t see that happening, Bailey.”

“The night’s still young.”

  3. “The night’s still young.” Great line, John, and sweet exchange between the boss and the pups. They seem to be managing the chaos well, which says a lot about you and “the producer.” 🙂

    1. We have them in the lower level with us. That level is all tile so the workers only need to come in for the flooring. Barking is very short since they know the workers now. Thanks, Charles. 🙂

  6. Lucy looks completely sacked out in her poofy new bed. Poor things are going to have an adjustment though, with all of that work being done. Fingers crossed it goes quickly. They’re going to have fun checking out the new floor when it’s done!

  10. Hang in there, girls — repairs don’t last forever, and soon, things will be back to a new normal (or so we hope!). But hey, getting new beds is kind of a big deal, right??

  14. All those boxes of flooring bring back some memories when we redid our whole house’s floors! I have to agree one bed is much fluffier…lol Hope the project is done quickly–bet its going to be nice when its finished 🙂

  16. Love these episodes about Bailey and Lucy! Well, actually, love all your posts! Guess I haven’t been paying attention (also a prerequisite for ‘Twilight’), but I thought Bailey was a guy and Lucy a gal…I saw some references to ‘the girls’ in the comments here…doesn’t matter, love’em both. I lost my ‘Toby’ (Golden Retriever) years ago, and I still miss him so much… But, now, I’ve got, along with Julie Anne, my also beautiful ‘Lady Gray’, a stray cat who decided she wanted to make her home with us… John, SERIOUS QUESTION, why do your posts make me so ‘chatty’??? ♥ (Afraid I know the answer – same as above: a ‘prereq’:for ‘Twilight’… Wow! Just got an idea! I should write a book!)..

    1. Ha ha ha. I think you feel at home when you visit and your should. I got you switched from that jet fuel “Makers Mark” and I guess you are now thinking clearly. Have a Willett.

  17. Awwwww, poor girls. I knew they were going to be upset about the floors getting ripped up. Good idea to buy the new beds, but you should have gotten two poofy ones. 🙂

  18. This is just too funny, John. I only hope we never have to have workers come in for very long. Maddie simply wouldn’t shut up. I wonder if I could get her in an elevator. She won’t go down the stairs.

    1. Aw. I hope your sadness will eventually be overcome by the happy memories you have of her. I have such wonderful memories of my fur kids yet there are times when their loss hits harder than others. The good times still win out. Thanks, Marc.

        1. I’m glad. I had a good friend who, before he passed, made the observation, “The only good thing about this disease is I won’t outlive my dog.” (He loved his dog.) I understood.
