We have had another wonderful week with miss Lucy. She is loving this great weather. We have had many long walks around Como Lake, she is getting better all the time on the leash. The biggest thing that we have been working on is getting her to calm down before we go outside. She gets SO excited to go out for a walk or to play ball with her brother Stanley or her friend Vinnie, she can be a bit crazy. Because I am disabled it has been especially important for me to get this behavior in check. She is doing so well. When she starts to get crazy, pick up her leash in her mouth or just bark a lot, we tell her to sit, first, and then "No Bark". It is really working. She has shown major improvement. The key with Lucy, which is no surprise, is consistency. Any time her puppy enthusiasm starts to escalate we tell her to sit and use the same technique. She is a smart girl, she has figured out that she will get what she wants a lot faster if she behaves! For a two year old that has been bounced around a bit, she is doing really, really well. I am a proud Foster Mom!

We were at an Adoption Event last weekend where a wonderful Ragom volunteer took the picture that goes with this update. Finally, you can see her beautiful eyes! Lucy is a really beautiful girl, people stop us all the time to tell me that. Now I have some pictures that show her off! We will not be at the event this weekend, but we will be at the Pride Festival on 6/29 from 12 to 4. Come visit us! If you can't make it but are interested in our beautiful Lucy, just let your Placement Adviser know. Once you meet her you will know what I already know, she is a magnificent dog!!
