Lucy Update

This is a picture of Lucy. Isn't she just the cutest thing!? Apparently she likes to carry around her favorite toy with her. I can't wait to see if she has it with her when we pick her up.

Lucy is on a van transport headed to New England as we speak. She left from her shelter home down south last night and is expected to arrive at her temporary foster home tomorrow around 5 p.m. A long haul, to be sure!

We are still waiting for a time to be scheduled for our home visit. It has to be done before we can bring Lucy home. Until the home visit is done she has to stay with a foster family. I've chatted via e-mail with the lady who will have her. She sounds really nice. I'll call her tomorrow late afternoon to make sure Lucy arrived.

The girls have been so excited. It's hard not knowing exactly when Lucy will come home but they're hanging in there. They are a little wound up, you know, the way kids are at Christmas! They've been so great about getting ready to have a dog. They've spent their own money on some things for her and spent time yesterday washing down the crate. I'm really proud of them.

The calendar says it's still summer but the weather doesn't seem to know that! It's been in the 60's all day and cloudy. Oh well...we need a little rain. Maybe we'll have one more warm up before school starts.
