Everybody, meet Lucy! Jeff and I had talked about getting a puppy for a while. The ongoing debate: he wanted a beagle and I wanted a Cocker Spaniel. We'd take turns sending each other photos of puppies we found on PetFinder.org. Last Wednesday Jeff found lucy. She and her brother had a Beagle mommy and a Cocker Spaniel daddy. It just sounded like she was destined to be ours. Her shelter was in Greenville Tennessee so on Sunday we took a road trip to pick her up. So far she is a great puppy. No accidents in the car, and none of that wimpering wining nonsense. She is very fluffy and solid black. There aren't any of those typical Cocker Spaniel curls in her coat yet and her tounge has black spots. I've never had a Cocker Spaniel before so I hope this is normal. I thought those black tounges were just for Chow-Chows.

We made a few stops on the way home for Lucy to practice her outside potty routine. So far no accidents, but we'll see what's she does while I'm at work today. She definately likes the back yard and she loves Jeff. These two are going to be play buddies. So far her favorite things are jumping in a pile of clothes and throwing mulch. She will stay at my house most nights and Jeff's house on the other nights. Here's to puppy training.
