Lucy turned three today. Doggie birthdays are generally bitter-sweet, on the one hand it's their birthday and you get to celebrate them and joy they have brought to your life for x amount of years. On the other hand, dogs have much shorter lives than their dogs and, barring a tragic accident, outlive them. Even though Lucy secretly told me that she would live forever, I still dread her getting older. I picked her out of her litter when she was only 6 weeks old and I knew that we were going to be best friends. I know that some of you non-dog lovers can't relate to this and that's fine but Lucy is my best girl and she will always be my first baby. She has been by my side through a lot of trials and tough times. I hope she knows what a little snuggly blessing she is to me and I hope that she thinks I'm great too.
This one is from the very first day we got Lucy. We got her from a rescue shelter in Yakima, WA, so we had a long drive home to Eugene but she did great.
Lucy's first week at home! How tiny!
Lucy's favorite place ever, the beach! This was when she was still a little bit awkwardly proportioned...
Lucy's first birthday, obviously. What a cutie.
An awesome camping trip we took to Fort Stevens, we had a blast.
Lucy's 3rd birthday today! I made her a delicious cupcake with peanut butter, yogurt, applesauce, salted caramel and all the regular stuff. She licked off the frosting and then ate it in one bite!
Happy birthday Lucy!
