Welcome Lucy! (Thanks Kijiji!)


Lucy has come into our lives, a very sweet and well behaved American Eskie. She was unable to stay with her previous family because they were busy and hadn't exactly bonded with her. We immediately fell in love with her when we met her at the door, and she didn't hesitate to hop into our car to leave. Lucy was formerly known as Dakota, but she didnt' really know her name so Lucy was a smooth transition. The cats are establishing their dominance over her, making sure she knows they are boss. Lucy is more than willing to let them boss her around, she even gave up her doggy bed for the two boys to claim as their own. However she drew the line at her food bowl, letting Sirius know she plans to eat all her own meals unassisted (Can you blame her?).
We had been searching for the right dog for a while, and so Kijiji delivered again with a great opportunity!
On our first night with her she went out for a walk with Scotty, who met up with a family around the corner from us whose dog (of the same breed) just passed away. Their dogs name was Chino and they were all to happy to meet Lucy, assuring Scott that she's going to be the best dog he's ever had. They even offered to dog walk and dog sit if we like. And after Scotty came back from his walk, Chinos mommy brought over an American Eskie book We definitely needed some positive vibes as the whole house adjusted to a doggy presence.
We're off on an adventure today to go to the Valley! (Of course we're going to stop in at Halifax Seed to visit Auntie Megan first!)
