A post or two ago Michelle introduced you to our dog, Lucy. Really, she is about the coolest dog ever. We both had dogs growing up and loved them. (Admitedly, Michelle took much better care of her childhood pet than I did.) But we knew we would eventually get a dog pretty soon in our marriage. We are both animal people.
So we got Lucy last year when she was just six weeks old, and she is the perfect dog for us. She is soft, good with the neighbor kids and other dogs, really smart, obedient and has just the right amount of energy. Luckily we have a good-sized backyard where she can roam.
Anyway, here she is doing one of my favorite tricks. One of many she has learned really quickly. We're still trying to get her to jump through a hoop.
(p.s. For all of you who are worried or wondering... Lucy is our dog. Not our child. Even though we love her, we still treat her like she is a pet, not our offspring. We plan to have a whole litter of our own children soon enough.)
