Our little lady

In case you didn't think I was nuts before, I have no doubts that after reading this post you'll surely think I'm off my rocker! We are now a family of six! That's right! Price, myself, Preston, Ethan, Maverick and introducing our little lady Lucy! Almost two weeks ago we adopted Lucy, an approximately 1-2 year old boxer mix, from Helen Woodward animal shelter. She was/is very under weight, had patches of hair missing, had worms and is timid around men (which all sounds so horrible and seem like reasons not to adopt her, especially given her age and the hyper reputation boxers tend to have) but she has been WONDERFUL! Lucy and Preston are glued to each others sides 24/7. They sleep together and everything! She is wonderful In the car and on the leash ( even alongside the stroller) and is learning sit and stay. After being with us for about a week, she started to get a little spunky and is now playing fetch and trying to run on my morning walked with her. She is very protective and growls at people who come up the the house when the boys or I are near her. She LOVES other dogs, women, kids and older men. So far she has had a hard time bonding with price. She growls at him every now and then but will cuddle with him on the couch, take naps with him and allows him to pet her, feed her and pick her up. Even though she growls and keeps her distance some times, She has never charged him or snipped at him. We're assuming she was abused by a younger man. Hopefully it just takes time for him to build her trust. We love our little girl and are so happy to have yet ANOTHER new addition!

Lots of love and bunches of hugs!
