Lucy's date with the girls - Saturday May 3 2008

Saturday May 3rd 2008 - I brought Lucy over to my friend Kelly's house since her two daughters were excited to meet her. Since Lucy seemed very friendly on our walks when she met young children, I figured it'd be okay. I warned my friend Kelly that Lucy likes to jump up and children can get afraid, so we'll just have to see. She was fine with that.

Since their yard is "mostly" fenced in, we had to keep Lucy on a lease, but it didn't stop the fun. The two girls were so excited to meet & play with Lucy. There were a few adorable moments.

1) Both girls came running up to Lucy with toys trying to get Lucy's attention and Lucy didn't know what to do, but her tail was wagging and she was enjoying the attention. Finally, Kelly convinced the girls to throw one thing at a time for Lucy to fetch.





2) They wanted Lucy to play with this really large stick. At first we joked that Lucy couldn't possibly play with such a big stick. As if reading our minds, she suddenly rushed up and grabbed the end of what must have been a 6 foot stick. We all laughed.




3) The girls overheard me telling their mom that Lucy likes to dig and I wanted to prevent her from digging holes in their backyard like she did in my parent's back yard. But the girls only heard dig and decided to make it their personal missing to get Lucy to dig. They both, in their adorable young voices chanted, "Lucy, dig, Lucy, dig." And when Lucy didn't know what they wanted they were determined to show her. Both girls got down to the ground and with their finger nails started digging in a corner of the yard. At first Kelly told them, " we don't want the dog to dig in the yard or you girls either," but then it was so funny, that she said, "well, whatever, guess we'll have to do bath tonight." And then, as if once again Lucy read the girls' mind, she started digging along side the girls. They were so thrilled. It was adorable. A quick pic I was able to capture:
