My two loves

Here is Lucy entertaining Leon. I normally use my Flip camcorder but this time all I could grab fast enough was my Iphone. Excuse the fuzzy picture quality. I'm so grateful I caught this ever so precious moment that I will play every time I need a dose of happiness.

Make sure your volume is on to hear the cutest baby giggles.

miss you muttley

On our way to Emily & Todd's house to drop off Miss Lucy. Just look at how relaxed she is! She loves car rides. When the weather is right (which is most of the time in Los Angeles- except the last three days) I open the car window real wide so she can get a whiff of everything. The wind usually pushes up all her beard covering both her eyes but she doesn't mind it at all. Her nose is what's busy not her eyes. I love her... every bit of her furry self.

I'm going to miss you my dear Lucy. As soon as we return from Seattle I'll be coming to pick you up.

Lucy

I met Lucy in 2003 at her breeder's home in Altadena, CA. That day I drove from work thinking "yeah, I'll just take a look at these puppies" not knowing that as soon as I lay eyes on her, I knew I would not leave without her. She was 4 months old then and this coming March 18, my girl will be turning 7 years old.

Having her changed my life. I learned that caring for another being other than myself is so much more rewarding. All of a sudden I had a more important purpose.

Lucy has been with me through ups and downs, never judged me and continue to give me- and now even my husband Chris, the most unconditional love.

I'm not sure exactly how she will be with our coming baby Leon- but one thing I know is that I'll definitely enjoy seeing them get to know each other as time goes by.
