Lucy's adventures

Lucy's adventures After losing her 13 years old devoted Labrador Evie in January 2021 Lucy the Yellow Labrador was adopted by Alexandra in May 2021.

Lucy adopted in 2021.From a cruel life chained up in Greece, a former reactive dog to a calm therapy dog.also on this page memories of Evie, Christian thoughts .Alexandra, a retired Salvation Army Major, hopes this page inspires readers and helps you. Lucy was chained up in Greece and had a traumatic journey across Europe and is now safe with Alexandra, she is perfect in the house but a reactive

dog on walks towards other dogs and Alexandra is trying to help her overcome her fears and anxieties with help from professional trainers. It is not for the faint hearted adopting a reactive dog and can be costly although Alexandra was unaware she was reactive when she adopted her , it was a shock especially after owning a very gentle dog but Alexandra wants to help Lucy feel calm around other dogs in time. Evie was one of the longest serving therapy dogs in the UK and was awarded with many achievements and was a comfort to many people and a blessing . Lucy can not be compared and has many lovely qualities too. Alexandra lives on the South Coast of England and shares videos and posts of her area. Alexandra became a Christian at the age of 18 and her life took on a new direction , she is a retired Salvation Army Officer with the rank of Major and completed 33 years service with 18 appointments in various places in the UK. Her work included community work and being in charge of Salvation Army Corps/Churches and she was aa Chaplain to the sea cadets and the first female minister chaplain/padre to the ATC, it was a dedicated life and a calling from God and on this page she shares Salvation Army posts and Christian thoughts and tries to help and encourage others. Alexandra loves animals and people and she shared a very close bond with her late mother who went to heaven aged 102 in 2016. I hope the page inspires you and gives you hope and brightens your lives and helps you . Lucy has overcome her frustration and fear of other dogs and is friendly and playful with them after a year which is an answer to prayer.

Is your dog playful and enjoys dog toys? I miss Evie's fun and playfulness...always made me smile...
All dogs are different.
Lucy does not play with toys at all...more independent but I love them equally. V sad Lucy obviously had no toys before I adopted her. I try and play but unless food involved she is not interested but she is v playful with other dogs which Evie was not.Evie just wanted me to throw her ball on the beach

I suppose Lucy is considered a senior dog now she is 8 ..but more middle aged in my opinion

Did you know that pet food companies consider Labradors “senior” by the time they turn 7? It feels far too soon, doesn’t it? With an average lifespan of 10–12 years, age 7 is just the beginning of their golden years. The good news? With a little extra love and care, those years can be some of the happiest of all.

💛What’s one special thing you do to make life easier or more joyful for your older Lab?

When it's quiet on the beach I do some basic dog training.

Victor Glover, pilot of NASA’s Artemis II mission, shared a message that’s simple—but deeply powerful:

“We need Jesus—whether on Earth or circling the moon.”

As Glover is one of 4 astronauts who traveled 252,756 miles from Earth, the farthest any human has traveled in decades, his words remind us that success never replaces our need for God.

Glover doesn’t separate his faith from his work—he lives it. From bringing a Bible into space to openly worshiping, he demonstrates that no level of achievement outgrows our dependence on Christ.

No matter where we go—Earth, orbit, or beyond—we still need Him!

We Finally Caught Her 💚

You may remember back in December when fourteen cats and kittens were heartbreakingly abandoned outside our gates. Six tiny kittens were still inside a carrier, and after someone came forward anonymously, we learned that a further eight cats had also been inside but had escaped onto the grounds 😢

Over the following weeks, our dedicated staff with the support of our wonderful neighbours, managed to safely catch seven of them. But one little girl continued to elude us. For nearly four months, we searched, and never gave up hope 💔

After a couple of possible sightings, we set up cameras and traps, hoping to believe she might still be nearby, and then, finally in February, we saw her on our camera. And now, at last, we have finally caught her 💚

We’re so relieved to share that she has been safely caught and is now in our care. We’ve named her Isra, meaning journey of the night, as we never saw her during the day! After everything she’s been through, she can now finally begin her journey to a much brighter future 🥰

This has been an emotional journey for everyone involved, and we are so incredibly grateful to all those who supported us, kept watch, and never gave up on her. We are so relieved that all the cats are finally safe. Eleven of the cats have found new forever homes, two are still waiting, and this lady will be looking for a new home very soon 😘
