Lucy's 4th of July weekend!

Lucy spent July 4th weekend at her Omi & Opi's house. I was visiting my sister and helped her & her daughter set up their own Dogster page for their German Shepherd, Katie. Lucy has a page there too. It's a cute site for kids and my niece really enjoyed setting up Katie's profile. Join the Dogster community

Of course, we got to see some fireworks too.
In the mean-time, the "grand-parents" were delighted to have Lucy as their "guest". Papi emailed me an adorable summary of Lucy's 4th of July:

Dear Marissa,

I was reading the New York Times when Lucy came to me and jumped up and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I asked her to sit and she did.

As I turned the page of the news paper she took a bone and began to bounce it near me causing a lot of noise. She did this a few times and then jumped on me causing the newspaper to drop. SHE JUST WANTED ATTENTION and she won me over. I then played with her and after awhile he sat down on my feet and permitted me to read my paper.

A few minutes later she brought a small towel to me asking me to play again. Finally I stopped reading and played with Lucy.

Lucy received her first mail package of sample food addressed to Lucy yesterday send to our house, her second home.

That's today's scoop.

What his email doesn't mention is how Lucy dug a two foot deep hole in the backyard and when it rained, which it did a lot over the 4th of July weekend in North Carolina, Lucy got herself covered completely in mud from head to toe. I wish that they had taken a photo. There is one - taken with actual film - that only shows her paws like that. Perhaps I'll scan it in so I can upload it here. She looks like she's in 7th Heaven, with a slightly mischevious look. I was surprised that my mother wasn't upset about the garden incident. I think that she too is just charmed by Lucy like the rest of us.
