Lucy the mutt

I talk about my dog Lucy but not many people have met her. She is suspected to be a mix of terrier and catahoula leopard dog. The most common adjective from people that have spent more than 10 minutes with her is crazy/insane. My Sister, the Vet, has even apologized for encouraging me to adopt her. ...she is suppose to love all animals by nature! Anyway, I was organizing pictures today and ran across a couple I took this fall. You can see how I was duped into adopting her by the big brown eyes and quirky look.

My little family

Here are some cute pictures of John and Lucy to share.

Catching up - Lucy

Waiting for trick or treaters (or is it treators) to hit the neighborhood and thought I would catch up on some blog postings. So I owe lots of picture and lots of information. I will catch up first with a photo of Lucy the dog. She is a hand full but sweet a good deal of the time as well. She looks for any opportunity she can to make an escape and has done so several times. To her dismay, I keep finding her. She seems to be a terrier and catahoula leopard dog mix. Here are some random photos of her.

Dog Picture

If you want to see a picture of Lucy you will now have to wait a little while. They have taken down the link to her and I will need to take a photo of her tonight...after a bath. :)

DOG!

John, Angie and I went shopping. I wasn't really intending on buying anything today but of course I broke down and did. I now am a proud pet owner. We went to Young-Williams Animal Center and shopped around after a disappointing experience at the Golden Retriever Rescue event at Turkey Creek's Petsmart.

We looked at big dogs and small dogs and puppies but we chose "goofy". That is her shelter name and since she didn't really respond to it today I am changing it and she will be "Lucy" starting Monday night. We bought everything to start her out except a crate and a dog house which will be purchased tomorrow. I have found out that starting costs for pet ownership are more expensive than I thought. It will be over $800 in start up costs and that is with a super cool vet telling me what to buy and what not to buy. Yikes.

Here is a link to view a picture of this 4 year old, 40 pound, peculiar looking mutt.
