Lucy's Fashion Statement

Last week Lucy went to the vet for her annual checkup & they found a little growth behind her front, right leg. They did a scraping & said it isn't cancer or anything, but they wanted to go ahead & remove it. So, yesterday while I was working, John had to take Lucy for her surgery. He said it was the saddest thing ever & she kept trying to drag him back out the door until he handed her over to one of the ladies at the vet's office. They didn't put her totally out, they just drugged her up & used a local anesthesia. They removed the growth & are going to let us know what it is by Friday or Monday, but the vet said it doesn't look like anything bad, so we're not really worried. Lucy now has 2 staples from the surgery, so she has to wear a T-shirt to cover the area so she can't scratch it. Yesterday she was so drugged up she didn't care, but today she seems slightly annoyed by it. I keep telling her she looks fabulous, & I'm sure that's helping her adjust (right??) I donated my Lime green "Jesus Keeps Me Singing" T-shirt to her. I think it's from VBS, or something a few years back & hasn't been worn since. So, here she is:

Notice the nice 80's style tie on the back to give it a little extra flair. Sorry about the picture quality - she didn't seem to want to be photographed & kept walking away as I took her picture.

And just to remind everyone how pretty she really is, here's a pic from last week without the T-shirt.

Verses from Philippians

1:21: For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
2:1-11: If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:14-15: Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.
3:7-8: But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
3:12-14:Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
