Adopting Our New Puppy

 

Hello friends.  I can't believe I'm so behind in my blogging and I'm sorry.  It's because we adopted a new puppy!  

After Bosco, who passed away on November 26, 2022, my daughter wanted a new pet.  

We thought about adopting a cat but decided on a new dog.  After months of looking at dogs online, we almost adopted a cute Corgi named Noodles but it was too late and they were already adopted.  My daughter saw Lucy on Petfinder.com and fell in love with her.  She applied online at Social Tees Animal Rescue to adopt Lucy and we were approved.

We rescued and adopted Lucy (previously named Brandy) on April 6, 2024.  She's a chi/terrier mix.  She's originally from St. Thomas and has five siblings.  Lucy was with two amazing foster families before she came to us.  Lucy is 6 months old and we love her so much.  She is playful, friendly, and adjusting to us and her routine after having her for a little over 6 weeks.  

She is almost potty trained and she knows some commands such as sit, paw, stay, and come.  We are not sure how big Lucy will be when she is fully grown.  When we adopted her she weighed 18 pounds and she weights now about 20 pounds.  We think she will get to between 30 pounds and 40 pounds.  I like the size of her now and because she has chihuahua in her maybe she won't be that big.  Lucy will be spayed in June.    

The day we adopted Lucy - 4/6/24.

My daughter ordered this dog bed on Amazon.  Lucy loves her bed.

My daughter bought Lucy this jean jacket from Petco.

Lucy loves being outside and lying in the sun.

Lucy is learning how to take walks in the neighborhood. 

The foster family sent some baby photos of Lucy to my daughter.  Lucy looked so adorable as a baby!

Please stay tuned for more adventures with Lucy.  Lucy has her own Instagram account at @mydoglucy23
