Meet Lucy Lu
19 Aug
Turns out, we didn’t have to compete for our newest pup. The other woman had already adopted a dog (translation: she wanted no part of that fiasco). After much debate and going back and forth and calling her several different names, we settled on Lucy. I get the “Lu” I always wanted and Jim doesn’t have to feel lame saying LuLu. Plus, JJ & LuLu is a little cheesy.
Lucy is a little sweetheart, who just so happens to love biting on her big brother’s tail. Each day JJ inches closer and closer to her when they’re lounging around. If you ask him outright, he’ll tell you he’s not really into her. Though when nobody is looking and she’s been in her crate for a while, I’ll see him sniffing around trying to wake her up.
Being a family of four/mother of two isn’t double the work…it definitely feels like more than double. Keeping them both happy, housebreaking her and adding in another personality to our daily routine has been exhausting. But, so far, she’s totally worth it.
More on Lucy later.
awwwww, she looks so sweet!
congrats- see, it totally worked out!!!
Thanks! It really did.
Shes such a sweetie!
New puppies are ALWAYS a lot of work. I think people underestimate the work load, to be honest. But give it a few more weeks and everything will be fine!
Thanks Jane! Jess, you’re right! I was working outside of the home when we got JJ and that was MUCH easier than this. Haha, I don’t want to start a stay-at-home vs. working mom debate…so that’s all I will say on that topic. Of course, JJ was never properly housebroken as a result and still goes in the house from time to time.
SHE IS SO CUTE!!
I have had dog-lust reeeaallly bad lately- I want just one more furry nugget in the house. Of course, the Mr. is totally opposed to this, given that we (read: I) already spend 40% of my waking hours tending to the brood. I know I’ll get my way eventually, but even a crazy animal hoarder like myself knows enough to not be looking forward to the breaking-in period. Ugh.
I still think they’re totally worth it.
