Lucy Update, Pictures, and Deflyering Efforts

Lucy has settled in pretty nicely. Her energy levels are surprisingly high already, though not quite what they were before her walkabout adventure.

We found a tick on her. So now the list of ill effects Lucy has suffered from her month-long vacation in the District wilds includes two items:
  • Lost 15% of her body weight (8 lbs.)
  • A tick. One.

Sooooo, yeah, we think we're pretty lucky.

Also, I posted to Picasa some pictures taken since she got home. You can view the gallery here.

And lastly, we have been trying to take down all the fliers we put up over the course of the last month. It's going to take a few weeks of course, and we might miss some as we go. So we're asking for two favors from people:
  1. If you see any fliers, take them down (and please let us know where you took them down from).
  2. If you're free next Saturday, 3/14, come down and help us deflyer some areas. (Noon, at Carter Barron Amphitheater parking lot.)
And once again, thank you everyone who has so generously helped us in the course of this ridiculously difficult month. Special thanks to Steph, Lisa, Daphne, Donna, Nancy, Laura Totis & Chewy the Wonder Dog, and Maurice & Pollie. Thanks as well to everyone who posted fliers for Lucy, including Michele & Dave, Jill, Catherine, Alycia, Will the Wonder Lawyer, Fran, and Katie. HUGE thanks to everyone who spotted Lucy and took the time to call us. I'm sure I'm forgetting others, and to you I apologize. There were so many who contacted us, encouraged us, wished us well, and helped us, that I doubt I can remember to thank everyone individually. But know that your contribution, however small, helped us enormously.

  1. Love seeing the photos of Lucy safe and warm and exchanging companionship, even if she's dirty - thanks for sharing!

    The unfliering has been on my mind, but I haven't been able to fit it into my schedule, and I think finally I can do some next weekend. But it has to be around other mid-day plans the 14th, so it may be Sunday. I'll want to catch up with you late Saturday to find out what areas are most needed for unfliering. Maybe it's worth mapping the unfliering.

  4. @NHD: Great, thanks. Just shoot us an email (info@lostlucy.com) on Saturday night and we'll let you know what could use more work. We are updating the flier map too, though. I'm changing areas that have been deflyered to RED, and leaving all the flyered areas in BLUE.

    @Debbie: Front page of the Metro section no less. Already got me a copy. :)

    @An Honest American: Thanks!

  5. Flyers have been taken down in the area north of Military bordered by Oregon, Western, Utah, and 30th Place, and on the other side of the park in the area bordered by Parkside, Yorktown, and W. Beach.

  9. Hi Pete, the long version of the story, from beginning to end is in this blog, if you want to look at the older entries. Here is the one that actually tells how Sarah managed to grab her: http://lostlucydc.blogspot.com/2009/03/lucy-is-home.html
