Sunday Morning April 20th - Louie & Lucy

Sunday morning, April 20th, Lucy dragged me across the lawn towards her
lover Louie's house. I could see him in the upstairs window and
hear him whining down at Lucy. Lucy whined back. They were
calling for eachother. It was adorable. The neighbor said that
Louie didn't want to go for a walk and that he'd try now that Lucy
was out. A few minutes later, Louie came bounding towards her, so
excited that he had to yet again lift his leg and pee against a tree.
Moments later, Louie and Lucy's leases were entwined and Louie
was on top of Lucy as she dropped to the ground and then to my
embarassment, actually humping her. Well, since he was about 1
foot shorter, he was humping the air, but did have his front paws
on her back. Stuart took a few snapshot of the lovers and then we
detangled them and went on our hike.

Overall, the weekend was wonderful. Lucy lived up to my dreams of having a dog. She was active and loved hiking, well mannered
when greeting people, listening to new requests and even making
some doggie friends. She has, in 1 week, added so much joy to my
life. She, in turn, seemed to also really enjoy the hike. In this photo to the left, she looks like a happy adventurer.

Lucy's first dog friend

Saturday afternoon, Lucy made her first doggie friend, or should I say boyfriend? She met Stuart's neighbor's dog, Louie, aka "Casanova". The 8 year old male poodle and my Lucy, a 1 year old Austrailian Shepherd and Jack Russell Terrier mix were in love. The moment they met, I sensed something special. Lucy's tail was wagging, they danced around eachother and sniffed their nether regions and licked eachother's faces. I was so relieved that she made at least one doggie friend.

Lucy adjusted to her new home well. She was drawn to the doggie bed and loved the squeeky toy that her "Grandpa" gave her on her first weekend in our family.
