~*Please Meet Lucy*~

Hello Dear Friends!  Oh... I have such happy news!  Last week when my folks adopted Scarlet, I browsed the shelter website... and spotted this adorable little chocolate brown puppy.  For a week I did everything I could to talk myself out of even thinking of adopting her... we already have lots of four~legged loved ones!  But then Tony said to me yesterday, "We should just go get her.  You NEED her."  Well... maybe I do!

So... we did today!  YAH!

Please meet Lucy...
 She doesn't stand still long, so I wasn't able to capture her sweet face in a photo.  But let me tell ya... those eyes and that little nose will steal your heart!

She and Trinity have played and played and played all day!
 She stop to take one short power nap on my lap.
Oh the joy a puppy can bring!

We adopted her from the City of Emporia Animal Shelter.  I strongly believe... adopt a pet... don't buy.  All of our four~legged babies have been rescue... and most have adopted US!  Lucy is the first one we brought here.  Living in the country... they have a way of finding their way here and claiming a new home.  <3 font="font" size="5">  We love them all!

Lucy is a mix breed, of course.  We aren't sure what she is a mix of... terrier/dachshund maybe?  She is a mix of puppy kisses, hugs, and playtime for sure!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I have been meaning to post a reminder too... this Saturday, January 26th is the Open House/Grand Opening of my teeny~tiny little shop.  If you are near & want to stop by... I would be thrilled to see ya!  My sweet SIL, Robin, is baking cookies... and I am going to have some sort of a door prize.  We have been busy making handmades... and finding new junky treasures.

Stop by for some crafty/junky fun!

Wishing you all warm smiles...

  3. How sweet Lucy is! When we decide to get a pup, it will be an adoption..too many tossed away or abused. Good luck at your open house..wish I lived closer. Janice

  11. Betty, GOOD FOR YOU! We are definitely a rescue family, and we have a Lucy, too! Our Lucy is a black seven-year old lab we adopted from Heartland Lab Rescue. There are some wonderful breed rescues for those looking for a specific breed. Over the years, I've had four mixed breeds from the shelter, and they were the absolute best. My mantra is adopt, don't shop. Congrats on your opening! I have so enjoyed my Prim Sisters projects!
