Lucy the I. G. Lucy the I.G.
Born May 8, 2006
Nicknames (so far): Mini Me, Skinny Dee, Dinny Dee, Lou Lou, Lucifer, Lucinda, Ducey, Ducey Doo, Lucy Doo, “you rotten little…”
I. G. stands for Italian Greyhound. I knew I’d never have another Larry but I thought a miniature greyhound would be a sort of a tribute to Larry. Lucy has other ideas. She is very much her own dog.
Baby Pictures:
One friend says she had the worst transition in puppy history. Larry wasn’t much help in the beginning. She jumped in his face one too many times and he oh-so-gently pinned her tiny skull on the ground in is massive jaws. She must’ve screamed for half an hour. Can’t really blame her. What really irked me was that no one told me how hard IGs are to house train.
Larry eventually warmed up to Lucy. She worshipped him like a god and that sort of adoration is hard to resist.
Nothing like the smell of fresh kitty tracks in the morning. Fashion plate that she is, she still loves to hunt kitty tracks (live kitties are a completely different thing).
Larry had his “one ear up, one down” thing going so Lucy had to develop her own “look.” We call it “windswept.”
Lucy’s favorite thing (after napping) is tug of war. She loves to play.
