after Carter and Lucy (sm)

in my opinion is when it started to go downhill. They turned Carter into a junkie and started going off into the doctor's family lives (Abby's mother's mental problems, her brother's mental problems, Pratt and his father, Chen and her father, I could go on and on with the not-so-good story lines). When they killed off Mark they killed off the heart and soul of the show (although Carter did a good job stepping into Mark's shoes and then when HE left, well . . . . . ). Now there's just not a whole lot of substance left.

Lucy's mother...
Unfortunately this situation happens a lot. It sounds like she is afraid of Lucy not liking her if she disciplines her. A lot of people don't understand that dogs crave an order to the house, den, etc, and if it is not given to them, they will try to establish it themselves i.e. destructive behavior, aggressiveness, and so on.
Lucy probably isn't a good match for her. She probably needs a dog that is already well trained, and even then she would still have to establish that she is the "den leader".
May I ask where you are located? I take in strays a lot and would like to get them spayed/neutered before finding them homes, but the cost around here is about $150 and I can't seem to find any programs to help (I'm in South Georgia). The humane society here has a low income program, but I don't qualify (by a whole $500). Yet if you take the stray to them most likely they get put down.
Kudos to you for keeping up with Lucy though!
Lucy, I would definitely be on the phone sm
with those people demanding an explanation!!. Especially since you live in an apartment -- there should be no reason why your bill would increase 6 times over, unless they hiked their rate ridiculously!!
I love Lucy and Friends

Good news on Lucy, the destructive dog
I have found humane society that arranges spaying/neuturing at no cost to me except for $5.00 for antibiotics the animal hospital charges. Lucy's mother tells me this morning she has decided probably best to give her up. I have found a place that rehomes animals through Petco- group of ladies- they take all animals as their own and animals can be returned once adopted, no questions asked, if they do not work out for the people. I reallly feel fortunate to have found this group of people on Craig's out of Atlanta.
Sounds like you have lots of "splainin" to do, Lucy.
You do NOT ever write off an older family member, Mom, Grandma, MIL, Dad, FIL. They will not be here that much longer and have walked the walk and talked the talk. Forget and forgive and forge on. You have no right to cut them out of your children's lives. You are not God.
