My friend asked me if I would adopt Lucy. She proceeded to tell me Lucy had been kicked LIKE A SOCCER BALL SINCE SHE WAS A PUPPY by a FATHER AND SON team. I could not believe how people could be so cruel! I let her know that I could not see myself with two dogs so, I politely declined. A week later she called and asked if I would take Lucy to the Veterinarian for her shots. Well, Lucy never left my side. It has been a bit of a financial strain for me, but my lab Emmy after 7 years has had to learn to share my attention-it has not been easy!
A year later and Lucy will still PEE by SHEER TERROR if a male comes that she does not know. SHE HAS NOT FORGOTTEN. However, when she sees Emmy go up to that stranger, Lucy will slowly get closer and closer and after a while she will blatantly be her joyful, playful, self and compete with Emmy for the stranger's attention.
This happy little RASCAL brings so much joy to my life I feel like she rescued me not the other way around!
