August Update

I know I have been TERRIBLE at updating her blog. She is so big now and so naughty. Almost everyday she chews up something she isn't supposed to. I took her to PetSmart today to get some new doggie treats and there were two little girls who kept hugging and playing with her. I was so proud of Lucy. She was gentle and layed there for them. I'm hoping to remember this day the next time she destroys something important.

Escape Artist

This week is evidently the age in which Lucy discovered she was an escape artist. She has broken free of our baby gated patio at least 5 times. Lucky for us we have the nicest neighbor in the world who keep finding her and bringing her back.

Intermediate Flunky

Evidently Lucy has amnesia. She doesn't remember how to sit, stay, or even lay down. We had her final exam for intermediate dog school last night and she failed miserably. Oh well, guess we are going to summer school.

Happy 5 Month Birthday

My little puppy princess turned 5 months today. I took her to pet smart for her first big girl haircut. She is funnier and sweeter than ever and her big milestones this month have been that she can jump not only on the couch, but all the way up on our bed. She loves to be outside on the patio and all of the neighbors stop by to visit with her. Currently her favorite toy is a little soccer ball that the mail woman gave to her and basically anything she is not supposed to have. We woke up the other morning and she ate up a check, a cookbook, and Rob's glasses. We hope she learns the value of money a little sooner than later. The jury is still out on her haircut. It barely looks like her!

My little cherry blossom

So technically today Lucy turned 16 weeks old. Her actual birthday was December 16th, so I am not quite sure if today is her 4 month old birthday or next Saturday is her birthday. Either way, it has been a crazy and awesome 8 weeks with her. She is funny, sweet, and an all around great puppy. We love her so much.

14 weeks
