Reasons why I love Lucy: Her quirks
Since she’s still not home and since I miss her, let’s talk about Lucy Belle and her quirks.
My dog, like all dogs, has a personality that makes her a little different than other pups.
For example, she chases her tail but she’s so swift-footed that she catches it within one turn. Instead of dropping it or stopping the chase (or even dropping it, then starting the chase again), she clenches her tail in her mouth as she spins around my den for minutes at a time.
She plays with her food. More often than not, I’ll see a milkbone fly across the room, Lucy Belle following closely behind. She’ll pick it up and toss it back across the room, taking off in pursuit again.
She doesn’t like to get her paws wet. She gives me the ‘Are you kidding?’ look whenever I try to lead her into dewy morning grass. She would MUCH rather pee on the pavement, thankyouverymuch.
She likes to stretch. But it’s not a normal doggy stretch. It involves her front legs going one direction and her hind legs going the other while she’s lying on the ground. (Does this mean she’s double jointed in her hips?)
Whenever I’m in the kitchen making dinner or fixing any sort of food, she sits down next to me, so close that she’s leaning on me, and looks up expectantly as if sitting while I cook is going to get her a treat! (OK, maybe it will…)
Whenever I’m in the bathroom (whether it be getting ready, putting on makeup, showering, whatever), she sprawls out on the end of my bed so she has a clear line of sight into the bathroom. My room is door is adjacent the bathroom.
She picks the perfect time to give me kisses. Whether it’s in the middle of the night after I’ve awoken her by sobs (thanks a lot, J.K. Rowling) or when I’m having a bad day, she knows her kisses work wonders.
