Meet Lucy!

Lucy is everything you could want in a family dog. She is sweet and loving, well behaved and never forgets to thank me with a kiss. Justin brought Lucy home to live with us the first weekend we were homeowners. Probably not the most ideal time to acquire a new pet, but I fell in love the first moment I looked into her eyes. Lucy is a water dog. Not just in breed, but in her heart. She loves swimming so much that we can't keep her dry. She plays for hours in the lake at Silver Spring Dog Park, she leaps into the puppy pool in our backyard, and many times I look down to find her sitting on my feet while I'm taking a shower! Lucy is often admired by other dog owners when we are at "Bow-wow Beach" in Stow, because she is so amicable with other dogs and children. Because Lucy was the runt of her litter, she is considerably smaller than typical labradors. In fact, her sisters outweigh her by several pounds at a small 55 pounds. Lucy is our first dog and we love that she is part of our family. We could not have wished for a sweeter or more loving dog than our Lucy-Girl!
