Lucy #18 Black Labrador Retriever Mix Female 3 Months Old ID#3239

Meet Lucy!  This adorable and friendly black Lab mix was dropped off at a shelter in Mississippi along with her mom and all of her littermates.  Unfortunately, her siblings all succumbed to Parvovirus but lucky Lucy survived.  Through the help of a wonderful Brookline volunteer, Lucy was transported North to a Brookline foster home. Look for her Mom, Lady to arrive to foster care shortly too!  Please read Lucy’s blog from the bottom up to learn more about this happy and playful girl.

Lucy arrived to PA yesterday on a transport van.  She was happy and excited to get out of the van and gobbled down some kibble, and took care of business before we started our 1 hr drive home.  She gave out lots of kisses and was wagging her tail like crazy! She was a fantastic passenger and settled right down in the backseat and napped for most of the ride.

Once we got home she met Angel (my other Brookline foster) and Sammy.  Both Angel and Sammy immediately welcomed this little peanut.

Due to new PA regulations, out of state dogs need to be quarantined for 14 days so we all will be homebound until her stay is up.  I don’t think Angel and Sammy will lose much exercise time with no walks though because little Lucy is keeping these two busy.They have been having a great time playing outside together.

Lucy has been enjoying exploring all the toys and dog beds and so far has not grabbed any non dog items.

I had a good laugh this morning at her adorable puppy antics playing with the last bit of her dental chew.

We are working on potty training.  She is doing pretty good so far.  Yesterday, she had a couple of pee accidents when she first came inside but I’ve been diligently taking her outside every 30 mins when she’s awake and she is figuring out that she gets a treat every time she goes outside.  So far today, she has only had one pee accident while I was out and she was under my hubands watch.  I’m sure she will get it in no time.  It helps that she is ravenous! Last night, she slept wonderfully in the crate with the heartbeat puppy.  I hope this trend continues!She loves hanging around with her people, and follows me or my husband around the house and outside and loves getting belly rubs.

Last night, she sat with us while we enjoyed a beautiful fall night by the fire pit.

She is currently napping at my feet as I write this.Lucy has been an easy addition to the house and my camera roll is filled with cute puppy pics and videos.  Stay tuned for more updates on this adorable little girl!
