Hello! I'm Lucy! I'm a sweet and gentle girl who walks right next to my person on leash. I love going for walks and hanging out together. There are a few quirky things about me that you should know and so let's just get those out of the way right quick.
I'm a little bit obsessed with large rocks. I like to search the yard for a perfect large rock. I don't want to eat the rock when I find it YUCK -- I'm not weird, I said I'm quirky! So when I find a great rock I pick it up with my mouth and haul it around like the beautiful prize that it is! I am quite proud of my rock and I'll show it off to whoever is in the yard with me. I'll even drop it near you and then you can toss my rock and I'll go fetch it and bring it back again.
You may be thinking, why doesn't one of the volunteers at Desert Haven give this poor deprived girl a tennis ball, a toy, something fun to play with other than large rocks?!?! But, I assure you, the volunteers here have offered me all those fun doggie toys and I still prefer my rocks. I'm a Rock Hound!
I enjoy my special found rock so much they let me haul it back to my pen where I'm living with another dog (we get along swell). My roommate doesn't seem to think my rocks (I have two now that I safe-keep in our pen) are much to write home about, but I sure do! Rocks rock!
Are you a Rock Hound too? Or do you just enjoy the company of a great dog while out on adventures or while home relaxing? Oh, that reminds me, here is the other thing about me that you should know. I love furniture like the sofa and I will help myself up to lounge on it. Hopefully you're a "let the dog on the furniture" type as I love to sit, lay, and lounge on the sofa.
I'm not a one-trick-pony though. I don't only love rocks. I also like engaging people who want to get to know me. I like learning together. I like treats a lot and I'm treat motivated. I'll sit on a dime for a treat. I also recently learned how to sit on a hammock! See, I have a lot of special talents!
If I sound like the type of girl you'd like to meet and fall in love with, I'm ready! See you soon! Love, Lucy
