Pets of St. Vincent – Lucy and Twix

We’re getting in the holiday spirit for this week’s Pets of St. Vincent feature. Meet Lucy and Twix, a couple of Shetland Sheepdogs belonging to Traci VanEcko, Perioperative Services Business Operations Lead at the Infirmary!

Traci says Lucy and Twix are the perfect little duo. She says Lucy is the wise and gentle queen, while Twix is the bright-eyed mischief maker. While the pups have their own unique personalities, Traci says they’re both equally sweet and hilarious. She says they’re also absolutely united in their greatest passion: food. If there’s a meal happening anywhere in the house, these two Sheltie foodies magically appear, sitting expectantly with their best “we’re starving” faces on, hoping for their rightful share.

For this holiday season, we hope mom (Traci) has some special treats for these clearly “starving” pups! Thank you for sharing the joy and laughter that Lucy and Twix bring you every day. Don’t forget, we’d love to feature your pets! To nominate your animal partner to be a Pet of St. Vincent, just click this link and fill out the form.
