Our Black Child...

The two most used words in mine and Brad's vocabulary are probably "NO!" and "LUCY!"...I bet you can guess why that is. Lucy is a black lab mix, but she has the complete personality of a lab which I have come to love and hate all at the same time. At times I feel like I have my own real life Marley (great book by the way...Emily I'm still waiting on you to see the movie!)

Let me give you a rundown of the things she has chewed which range widely in value...

• My laptop cord
• My cell phone charger cord, and multiple other cords that I lost track off
  
• A pair of Brad's dress shoes
• The corner of our couch
• The pillows on our couch
• 2 floor pillows
• Anything and everything in the trash, and she also really enjoys cat poop
  
• And she's taken a recent interest in a wardrobe that just happens to be a family heirloom

While this does total quite a large amount of money, its easy to forget all of the money she has cost us when you look into this face...

We also have been able to teach Lucy a couple of tricks...she can sit, shake, and now beg. Begging happens to be my favorite because it is really cute, and its the only trick I can claim that I taught her. I know all of this probably sounds crazy, but like I said Lucy is like a little kid since real children are in the VERY VERY distant future!
