Lucy lu

Her leash training has been excellent. She knows basic commands & pulls only if she's really excited ( look a squirrel!) Or has to go #2. The word chill is her command to cool her jets. She does & she always looks back at me like "I'm sorry".

She got to meet Logan & Yoshi for a play date. She loved running around with no leash and another furry four legs chasing her. More tug on me to rent a house next year.

Life has been good. Just Lucy and work. Looking forward to the holidays a bit.

& in other news...

Personal growth: I found myself in the baby isle & not automatically crying. I even ended up buying a few outfits for my boss who's son was born on Monday.
The fact that I was smiling as I went through a rack of baby boy clothes surprised me. I felt normal. For just that moment.

I've been spending my days off at the museum and around my neighborhood. Glad I have a dog to take walks with!
Not looking forward to winter.

On with the show!

I love Lucy

I have been looking for a pup. (Penny the cat did not work out)
I knew I wanted a pound puppy, preferred a bit of training already. That's just what I got.

She is supposed to be a boxer mix but I'm thinking she's just a Heinz 57.

Meet: Lucy! Her name was Hayleigh Lynette before and I couldn't... I just couldn't leave it as that.
Why Lucy?

Scarlet Jo Hanson's character (girl crush on scar Jo)
I love Lucy... Lucille Ball is one of my favs
And Lucy in the sky ( LSD anyone?) Beatles Song & the Song/character from the movie I Am Sam... Which was part inspiration for my Super Angela book.

It has been less then 24 hours and she has been such a heart warmer.
Two accidents in the house. One out excitement & the other she did try to wake me up. But she normally goes & sits by the door when she has to go.

Loves to play & gets so excited to play tug o war or fetch.

Working on leash walking & a few other tricks.

Halloween 2014

I am excited about how my life will be next year this time. Big plans are a brewin.

I had Halloween off & passed out candy. It was freezing but I felt for the kids that would be out. Very cold and people used the S word (snow). 

I woke up on Saturday to a parade going past my house. I am really looking forward to the old west end festival in June.

Sunday Carissa and I had brunch at black kite and a walk in the neighborhood. We found an estate sale!

$4 is all we spent.
I got: picnic basket, and two vintage wine decanters.
She got: a set of glass & cork containers.

So beyond excited to decorate for Christmas!
