Welcome Home Lucy!

Travis and I have been discussing getting a dog since we were married. I grew up with dogs, and always thought we'd have a lab. Because he moved around so much, he didn't have pets... and was perfectly fine with continuing the "no pets" policy. However, I've had a little help in the "convincing" department... the girls! Ali has been asking for a dog every Christmas since she could write a Christmas list for Santa.

About 3-4 years ago, we finally compromised on a small dog for our family. Trav was still not in a hurry to add a dog into our lives, but the researching continued on small dogs that don't bark, shed... etc. (I thought his list sounded like a stuffed animal!)

Early in February our friends, Matt and Kristen, got a little Yorkie named Max. This was just the nudge Trav needed. It was back to the computer and the serious research. A week later he came home with a West Highland Terrier puppy. The girls were so excited! Meri couldn't believe that Daddy got a "real-life puppy"! We fell in love with her Lucy instantly.

I never thought I would own a little, white fluff ball. But, she fits in with our family perfectly. And, for the guy that did not, did not, did not want a dog... well, he's completely smitten. :)
