lucy!

tired Lucy

She's finally here! Lucy is a 3.5 month Labrador/Boston Terrier mix. She just moved here after living with my sister and her brother, Cooper, in Little Rock, AR. It's tough to tell how big she is from this photo but she's little! After only one full day here she's already been to her first happy hour (did great, she's definitely a people-dog), slept a full night (though she did wake up a bit early), met and played with a few doggie friends (great around other dogs too), went to lunch at a restaurant (on the porch and sat very patiently) and today I took her for her first mini-hike.

I just found out (thank you!) that puppies shouldn't really be doing strenuous exercises like running or big hikes. So we basically just did our walk but on Vail. She's very curious about everything, was frolicking through the tall grass and the flowers, looked at a little stream (she's not quite adventurous enough... yet... to get in the water), and was just generally happy yet very obedient for her age.

It's only been a day but I'm really glad to have a dog again. Can't wait until she can come for runs and more demanding hikes with me!
