Lucy is Five Months Old

Lucy turned five months old on Wednesday, April 23. Today she went to the “beauty shop”, actually the dog groomer, to get all prettied up. As you can see from the photos, she was ready for a make-over.

As soon as I opened the door to the vet’s office (this is where the groomer works), Lucy’s tail started wagging. She knew she had been there before and had some friends inside. But she didn’t know what she was in for. Actually, the groomer gets her shampooed and clipped in one hour so it’s not really too traumatic. She’s only away from her Momma for an hour.

When I did pick her up an hour later, she was very happy to see me and ready to get out of there. The groomer told me she was very good but who knows what really happened behind closed doors.

Lucy slept for a couple of hours after we got home but now she is her old self – ready to chase the ball – like always.

Can you believe I forgot to put some pictures of Lucy in her “Who Am I” story? Well, here you go.

Who Am I?

Lucy Belle Lindberg joined our family on January 27, 2008. Oh, what a time it has been! It’s been many years since we’ve had a baby around this house but we’ve got one now. You have to watch her 24/7. Luckily she is only four months old now so she still sleeps a lot. But she needs to be fed on schedule and cleaned up after, if you know what I mean, and played with and exercised every day. Several times a day, actually. But what joy and laughter she has brought to this house.

Lucy weighs twelve and one half pounds as of today. She has doubled her weight each month these first four months. She has most of her permanent teeth now and sure can bite hard. She loves to chew on your hand, your shoe, your newspaper, your shirt, your Crocs….whatever she can get her teeth into. You guessed it. Lucy isn’t a human baby…she is a puppy and the love of our life. Lucy is a Scottish Terrier and the cutest thing you ever saw.

Lucy has Daddy and Momma wrapped around her paw. Whatever she wants, she gets. She is so much fun and no one told me how much trouble and work a puppy is. She has learned how to jump up on our lap, on the couch or chair and nothing is safe on our end tables or coffee table. She is very curious and wants to be part of everything we do. She “shadows” her Momma all the time and has gotten stepped on a few times because of it. She’ll learn, I hope, or Momma will.

More about Lucy soon….
