Our Meeting with Lucy

On Saturday, February 10 we went to Lucy's house to meet her.

She was outside on her back deck when we arrived. She came in the slider a bit shyly... but went straight to her toybox and picked up a slipper. She then came to each of us, nuzzled the slipper into our hands, then ran off with it in a game of chase.

We sat and let her bring us toys, sniff and lick our hands and just get used to us. She is a delightful dog. She had just been to the groomer so was sleek and had a cute pink bow on the pouf at her forehead.

We talked for about a half hour with her mom, and learned what she likes and dislikes. She has never been taken "walkies".... so that is something she can look forward to at our house! She did not bark once while we were there.

Both of us feel she would be just the dog for us. So we will have another visit with her in a couple of weeks... this time she will come to our house and hang out for a couple of hours.

I think Lucy might be the one to take Panda's place. She had many of the same attributes that we so loved about Panda: she was sassy, loved to fetch and tug at toys, looked at us intently when we spoke to her.... she even did the little drop of the head but uproll of the eyes thing... watching you to see if you are going to go in for the toy!
