Sometime in November, puppy Lucy and her littermates were abandoned in a laundry basket in Post Falls, ID. After a stint at the Spokane Humane Society, she came to live with us.

She’s part lab, part border collie, part… ? Totally adorable.

She loves to play catch, except that she carries a ball in her mouth at all times, so when you throw a ball, she runs after it and then waits for you to come pick it up and then throw it again so she can chase it… while carrying her own ball. (She’ll get it.)

She poops at 6:30a… every morning. And then who knows what her poop schedule will be. She gets three meals a day, fed at roughly the same time every day, and poops 4-5 times a day (puppyhood, man) at seemingly random times.

Her teeth are needles. She chews on nouns… all of them. When she runs outside, the first thing she does is pick up an emotional support pinecone (which she brings inside and leaves all over the house).

Her fur is so, so soft. She wants to be near someone at all times.

We’re working on crate training. She’s pretty good at sitting, laying down, and offering a paw. She’s on her vaccine schedule and starts puppy kindergarten on March 4th.

We adore her.
