The Bowling THREE: A new addition to our family

LUCY LOO BOWLING is now part of our family. We met Lucy three weeks ago today at a pet shelter. We really went there to look at kittens because we thought that would be a good way to go but Matt showed me Lucy and of course I fell in love with her. She had just been dropped off that morning as a stray so we couldn't take her home. They have to wait 5 days to see if family come to get her and then she is quarantined and then we could have her so we waited until the following Saturday and discussed having her all week. Well I whined (at least i'm honest) and Matt and Jack drove to get her last Saturday to surprise me while I was at work and they couldn't take her home because another dog got her eye and she had some bleeding behind her eye. They wanted to get her checked out on Monday and then also get her spayed, so we could get her Wednesday. I called on Monday to check on her and they said her eye was still bleeding and we could get her Thursday. So I called Wednesday to check on her after she was supposed to get spayed and the lady "forgot" to send her to the vet that day to get spayed. I WAS HOT!!!! We kept telling Jack everyday that we were bringing the dog home tomorrow. Bringing the dog home tomorrow. Bringing the dog home tomorrow and I was getting really upset. So..........the lady said that her eye was being checked Thursday and she was getting spayed Friday and I could pick her up on Saturday.

So, today is Saturday. They opened at 9. I was up there with Jack and my two nephews at 10 and Lucy was not there. Grrrr. She was still at the vet and they wanted me to come back later but that wasn't going to happen because we got her about an hour away. So they went and picked her up at the vet and now she is home with us!!!

She is awesome!!!! She is so mild mannered. So snuggly. So cute. I think perhaps she got hit a lot where she came from. She cowers a lot when you go to pet her but once you start loving on her she doesn't want you to stop. Her and Jack have already played fetch with her tug toy and she even likes the bed we got for her, surprising!!! Jack acts as if she has lived here all his life. He loves her. He won't call her Lucy but he says "Buh buh" (that's how he barks) or he calls her LooLoo!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you what kind of dog she is..... A POUND PUPPY!!!! Her card from the pound just said terrier mix. We aren't really sure what she looks like besides a shaggy little mutt!! hah. Her hair is very coarse and thick and her tail is long. Defintely the terrier face but we don't know what else. If you have any ideas what she might be, let us know!!!!
