Its a Sunday night and I should be at work! However I am stuck at home with pink eye. I've never had it before, and its such a nuisance! I should be at work right now!!!!
Anyways-
Last Thursday afternoon I got a text message asking if I knew anyone who wanted an 8week old house trained full bred black lab. J and I had been talking of getting another dog, because he has always wanted a bigger dog to play with and take on walks, etc. We had decided that we should wait until next Spring or so.....until......we found out that this dog would be going to the pound that day if she was not able to find a home. So, I asked J about it, and he said she sounds perfect!
So, without seeing a picture or knowing too much else about her, we were on our way to pick her up. We didn't really tell the kids what we were doing in case the whole deal turned out to be a flop. We got there and "Cammy" greeted us at the door with her then owner, Michelle. She invited us in, told us that she had recently (2 days ago) been diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer and wasn't going to be able to take care of the dog. She really wanted her to go to a nice family and we seemed like a perfect match.
Well, along with her new home, she acquired a new name.... LUCY. And it fits her perfectly!
The kids love her, Kaya is tolerating her, and she has come to fit right in to our family. As far as the house training thing goes, well, lets just say she needs a little work in that department! I didn't think that it could be possible to be fully trained at 8 weeks!

All 3 kids happily playing outside!
The weather is finally turning nice! Great evenings on the patio and playing outdoors! We love it!
