Happy Birthday, Puppy!

by E.P. on November 19, 2009

Last July, I saw your photo on Petfinder. That same month, you rejected me, then recognized me and convinced me to take you home. And you’ve been with me ever since.

You turned two today. It’s hard to believe because you have just as much, if not more, energy than when I took you home. But here you are. My little puppy teenager.

Rebellious. Loving. Wild. Affectionate. You encompass these all, and I am truly lucky to have such an amazing pup in my life.

Happy birthday, Lucy Belle! Here’s to the second year of many!

And thank God my dog isn't the only one who just randomly climbs into the tub. She's been weird about it lately. She didn't like baths at ALL when I first got her, and ever since we moved into this new place, she has been hopping into the shower with me once a week. So weird. But kind of cute and funny, too.
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:26 am: Aw, thanks so much!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:26 am: Thanks so much!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:26 am: She sends hugs and kisses and licks back to you and wants to know when the next television night is. She needs her weekly Rose fix.
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:27 am: I know! It's truly insane. I cannot believe I have had her for almost a year and a half, and I cannot believe your Jack is FIVE!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:28 am: Haha, weird, huh? She sometimes just likes to climb into the tub. I don't get it, but I will not question it if she gets clean. It's just so strange since she didn't do this when I first got her. … Maybe in her old age, she wants to be cleaner?

Thanks!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:28 am: Thanks, lovely!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:28 am: Thanks so much!

E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:29 am: Thanks so much, Jordan!

We were so lucky to have such amazing pets growing up. I still remember when y'all got Nilla and Sierra. It's hard to believe that was so long ago. And it still makes me laugh that Dodger used to jump the fence. I know for a fact that Lucy could easily clear the same fence if she put her mind to it.
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:29 am: Thank you, KT!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:31 am: Thanks, Susan!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:31 am: Aww, thank you!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:32 am: Isn't she adorable? Her ears were the things that sold me at the shelter.

And thank you so much for the award! I'm flattered and honored!
E.P. December 2, 2009 at 6:32 am: Lucy thanks her Aunt Doni. And she cannot wait to meet you hopefully this month!
