We have had Lucy for 3 weeks now -- it will be 4 weeks this coming Sunday. She is doing so well. She has only had 2 accidents in the house and the 2nd one was our fault because we weren't paying close enough attention. She's starting to tell us now that she wants to go out which is awesome.
She knows sit and down. She does a "down" and waits when I put her food ball down until I say ok before she goes to it to eat. She loves running around with a ball so we are channeling her natural desire to play and teaching her fetch. She LOVES to play.
We start puppy kindergarten next week. I'm really looking forward to that. I really enjoyed doing obedience classes with Zena when we adopted her, so this should be fun. Seeing how much Lucy likes to play and how smart she seems, I'm thinking about doing agility with her when she's old enough. I think that will be great fun!
Jay and I bumped heads the first week or so -- I did push to get a dog pretty quickly, I know. But he's doing well with her now and is really enjoying her too. Lucy doesn't stop the sadness from losing Zena, but she does distract us from it.
Lucy is definitely a keeper. We've gotten lucky again I think.
