When we first got Lucy, she reminded me SO much of Indee... in how she looked and in her mannerisms. I kept calling her "Indee" for at least a week (and still do sometimes when I'm not thinking). As Lucy is growing older, I'm seeing more and more how she has her own personality, which in many ways is very different from Indee. One such difference is how Lucy is a lot more adventurous than Indee. The first time Indee went for a walk, she freaked out and tried to scamper back up the driveway into our house. We decided to carry her down the block and start our walk there, but Indee proceeded to scamper up EVERY driveway, in desparate hope that it would lead to home, until we finally reached our house.
Lucy, on the other hand, has been itching to venture past our fence for a long time and was SO excited during her walk. She trotted and sniffed, chased little animals and marked her territory, like a seasoned pro. And when we finally returned home, she was so tired she barely made it to her water bowl for a drink before konking out in the middle of the kitchen floor for a long nap.
I'm excited for my new running buddy! ... except, I think we're going to have to work on her endurance.
look at the proud dad with all his camera gear!

I'm glad she walks better than she plays tug-of-war! (Although, if she applied her tug-of-war skills to her walks, you'd have very clean sidewalks!)
uh.. and a shaved belly!
