Sunday Selfies with Lucy – The Newest Addition to Our Family!

On our Christmas Day post, we teased an exciting announcement that we would be sharing with you today. We don’t want to keep you waiting any longer, so we will just get right to it!

We’d like to introduce you to…

LUCY!

LucyLucy is the newest addition to our family, and yes… she is a woofie! Lucy is a 15-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and was actually one of my parents’ dogs and a childhood dog of mine! I remember the day that my stepmom brought her home – she was a 6-week-old puppy with a big ol’ butt and a big ol’ head, and she was the cutest thing ever. Now she is all grown up, and still adorable (though she has grown into her butt and head).

Lucy came to live with us a couple of days ago on Christmas Eve because there were some issues between her and one of my parents’ other dogs. They weren’t getting along very well, and it was becoming dangerous for Lucy. Rather than fear for Lucy’s safety, my parents asked us if we would welcome her into our home so she could live out her golden years peacefully. We of course said, “YES!”

We had some concerns about how Lucy would do with the cats, as she had never been around cats before, but those concerns were quickly dispelled! She hasn’t been phased by the cats at all, and the cats definitely don’t mind her either. In fact, Sophie has taken a particular liking to Lucy and follows her around everywhere. It’s pretty cute. I see an amazing friendship in the works between the two of them. ​Sophie and Lucy – the Adventuring Duo!

Today is Day 3 of Lucy living with us, and it seems like she’s been here forever. The transition has been easy, and she is a perfect fit! We couldn’t be more excited to have her join us. We look forward to what is to come on this new adventure for the KCC Gang!

      I am so grateful and relieved. Grateful that Lucy, kitties and Halls to be cohabiting so joyfully. Relieved that we don’t have to keep Lucy safe anymore.
      Thank you Emily and Bobby Hall!

    Hi, Lucy! Welcome!!
    Great Selfie, you have a nice smile!
    Our dog-guy is a JRT, too…he’s 13 1/2, so a tad more baby than you!
    I like my kitty brofurs, too, though Pipo tries to beat me up, sheesh.

    oh what a cutie Lucy is!!!! Welcome sweet girl!! You are sooooo lucky that the transition went well! You know what I am thinking? When we brought Dakota in with Cody it was a scent thing…….we made sure we all had the same scent. I bet when you visited Lucy your cats scent was on you and when you returned Lucy’s was on you for your cats…….they were probably all used to the scent, so that when she moved in, it didn’t seem strange to any of them! So happy for you!

    What a wonderful thing to do! I guess it would be Sophie who would accept Lucy for who she is. Congratulations and good luck! Let me know if you need any advice about dogs and cats living together. And give Lucy and extra belly rub (you can do those with dogs!) for me…
