It’s starting to become clear that Lucy’s change in behavior is the result of hormone changes. In fact she’s acting as though she just had a litter of puppies. What might a dog do who just had a litter of puppies? Well said dog would lick and bury everything. We can’t give Lucy anything without her burying it.
She also is a licking machine. She’s taken quite a liking to Lisa’s down coat on the futon.

Tonight Lucy was acting the slightest bit strange. She started shaking quite a lot and taking her temperature showed it to be 103.3, which is pretty high for a dog.

I also rolled Apple v0.2.5 mainly to include a fix in the calendar. The calendar was using a by-reference copy of self.page.get and thus it was changing the object itself. Using copy took care of that (I had been pulling my hair out trying to determine why self.
