Lucy Lu
Lucy Lu - This pretty little girl was rescued from a high kill shelter that uses the gas chamber. But because the shelter thought she was part Pitt But..  They were going to euthanize her immediately.  We begged for this puppy to leave with us.. And how happy we were when they finally agreed. Every pet deserves a second chance.

Hey Kim and Jackie!
Sorry it's been so long, but we've been soooo busy this year, that we haven't had time for anyone! I wanted to let you know how Lucy is doing and let you in on some of our activities lately.
Lucy still isn't over her chewing up comforters, but she's becoming a little better. We've just figured out that we can't trust her out for too long when we aren't home so she either gets put in her crate or all the doors get shut so she can't get into the "fluffy stuff". Do you remember telling us how much of a cuddler she is? Well, she's living up to that times 10! Compaired to Damien, who could care less if you sit by him, Lucy has to be on our laps 24/7. She isn't dominant about it, though. She just wants to be next to someone... it's almost as though she HAS to have that contact... like we're going to leave her or something. She's developing some slight issues when she gets excited. If she gets too excited, she just has to turn around and start itching herself... we've tried to direct her attention away from it, but she only stops when the playing stops. We're still working on figuring this out with the vet. He says we may have to put her on anti-anxiety meds, but I want that to be our last option. We're trying to just divert her attention for now.
 We are going camping this weekend out at Coffeen Lake. This is a pet-friendly camp ground with great fishing! I'm bringing a camara along, so I hope to have pictures to go along with this letter by the end of the week. We've never taken the dogs camping before so it should be quite interesting!
You gals do such a wonderful thing for animals... if only everyone could do the same thing... I wish you luck and I'll try to get the word out about your organization.   
Talk to you later!  Lynsey, James, Damien, and Lucy Lu

Kim and Jackie,
Hello! Things are going great around here! Lucy Lu is sure figuring out what life around here is like. We had a spell awhile back with Lucy getting sick, but we figured out the problem and she's all better. We just know better than to feed her bits of human food anymore. They don't get much (maybe a bite or two once a week) but it was making her sicker than a...well...a dog! LOL! Lucy and Damien had presents waiting for them on Christmas Eve. I got them both a Candy Cane Rawhide, a Mammoth Bone Knuckle, and a pack of Cinnamon Doggie Cookies. They wouldn't open their gifts (I think because we've trained them not to touch anything that they know isn't theirs) but once they were opened, both of them went to town! Both Candy Cane Rawhides are now gone, and the Knuckles are almost completely gone. Lucy has become very dominant over Damien and will watch him chew his bones and when he looks away, she sneaks in and takes it! Needless to say, she's grown quite used to us and our home. When we first got her, she was jumping the fence, but she's over that now as well. She whines when Damien is missing (bye-bye with Daddy or locked himself in another room) and he whines when she is (bye-bye with mommy). They love each other, and I couldn't ask for a better pair.Sorry for the long reply, but a lot has been going on since i last emailed. Christmas sorta took it out of me for awhile. Talk to you soon!Lynsey

8/17/2006 hi! i just wanted to update you on Lucy! she's doing great. she and Damien are getting along wonderfully! we couldn't have picked a better dog. she's very smart and funny to watch. she's also become a LOT more playful in the last couple months! she's getting big fast and she's going to get fixed in the beginning of September. she's figuring out a lot of things that Damien has never thought to do (and he's VERY intelligent)...i hide the toys so that they only get one at a time (this eases the mess i have to clean up). the toys are in a basket under an end table. Lucy has figured out how to pull out the basket and then she and Damien take every toy out and spread them all over the house! she's also learning a bunch of new tricks due to Damien. she learned to sit and speak and shake hands all by
watching him do his tricks! anyway, i just wanted to let you know how she's doing and if you ever want to come out to check on her, feel free. you can either email me with a date and time or call me and we'll set something up! thanks again for the match of a lifetime. we couldn't be happier, and Damien thanks you too! he's so much happier now that he has a playmate! i've included a picture of the two of them together! hope you enjoy
