Lucy

My husband surprised us last weekend with a trip to the pet store.  He told me just a few hours before that he wanted to go and get a dog.  I was totally shocked because we had been asking for a pet for months and his answer was always no.  Anyways, we kept the pet shopping a surprise for Lilly until we arrived at the store.  Even after we announced that we were going to get a dog, she looked at us and replied, "A real one?" "Are you sure?"  She could not believe we were really going to do it.

We had a great time picking one out of the selection available.  We asked lots of questions and played with a few and finally decided on our black lab, pit bull mix - Lucy.  She is super sweet and fairly calm for a 6 month old puppy.  Of course, she likes lots of attention so she tends to want to be in the center of us.  When we are putting Lilly to bed, Lucy wants to be in the middle.  When we are watching TV or reading she wants to be right on top of us.  Lilly loves having her around.  She enjoys feeding her and giving her treats and even telling her "NO" when Lucy is into something she shouldn't be. 

It is super cute to watch the two "sisters" (this is what we have started calling them) play together.
