Let Lucy Come Over

Wulp.

We have a wiggly waggidy puppy and boy does she ever love to be the center of attention.
We found this little sweetie through a friend's recommendation of a humane society in Conway, New Hampshire next to the White Mountains.  So she came with a bonus little roadtrip!  She is a pointer mutt, and seems a little pit bull or boxer in the ears, but we don't know her exact muttiness. She is incredibly bright and observant, joyful in playfulness, and just the right size (bigger than a beagle but smaller than a lab). We thought we were getting an "adult" with her being 19 months but it was clear from the first few days that she's a puppy all the way (probably for another six months). She needs a long walk every night and a lot of chewing, but Jose and I look forward to that walk at the end of the work day.

I trade off every other day being cool and happy with this, with feeling overwhelmed from puppy drama, behavior training, and errands/shopping lists.  But we had both been sighing and staring with longing eyes at dogs whenever we went outside the house for the past six months... it was time we gave one a home.
