Lucy loves to eat, she'd eat the whole apartment if it were edible

Your Lucy sounds so much like my Lucy!!! I always say my Lucy will eat anything!!
She LOVES to eat...her favorite past~time.
She had to have surgery on her hips last year (FHO's on BOTH hips).  And Lucy, being a cattle dog mix, ideally should weigh around 30 lbs. Yeah, right.....
I had to put her on a diet prior to surgery, so I started adding more fresh veggies to her food.... What a riot!  She is the only dog I have ever seen that actually picks  OUT all her veggies and tosses them on the floor!!!  She'd actually look up at me and whine like a baby when her meals consisted of too many veggies to her liking!!  However, at the time it wasn't funny to me, cause she needed the surgery so badly BUT she had to loose weight.
Somehow, we managed to get the weight off and she had the surgery.....
NOW, we are attempting the "diet" thing again cause she is going to need total hip replacements..... I just LOVE her so much.
Midnight, my vegan dog loves bananas. That is how I"won" her over. She was returned to the shelter after being in a home for almost 8 years. Her "owners" (they do NOT qualify for the term guardian), never addressed her ear problems, so she was in so much pain that she had become aggressive. She was what my daughter called, "an evil dog". Who could blame her?? She was about to be banished to the kennel where the shelter (no kill) housed their aggressive dogs, and I couldn't bear to see that happen to her. So, I started to try to win her affections. And one day she was sitting next to me when I was eating lunch and she grabbed my banana and took off! I was amazed to see her scarfing down the entire banana, skin & all. So I started bringing an extra banana with me every day, and, yes, I did peel them.  And, I have to say, it was the bananas that "sealed" our relationship!  Too funny.
Anyway, once again I ramble.
I was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Lived there til I was eleven, then we moved out to Babylon. (We always had a summer house in Farmingville, until the construction of the LIE took that away from us!!  Damn LIE ~ I still won't drive on it. And besides, it's TOO busy, makes me nervous as he!!.)
Now I'm in Pennsylvania, but I still LOVE & miss New York. Especially the city and the beaches....
Where on the Island are you?? My sister's in West Islip. I still have family in Babylon, Patchogue, Freeport and Medford....
There's no place like home.....
Hugs,
Patti
