Lucy sat-stayed long enough for me to capture a good image. I think this captures the fact that she can be a very serious and intense dog.

The dogs and I played outside. Lucy had her ball. Then we went inside; she did not have her ball.
Later, after dark, I let the dogs out for their last pee break. Before that I put them into a sit stay. Lucy looked up at the top of the clothes washer where we keep dog toys. She was looking for her ball. I said no it’s not up there it’s outside.
I said ‘Find your ball!’ Then I let her out, repeating ‘Find your ball!’ And less than two minutes later she brought it back.
What a smart girl.

Fitzi’s eyes are the most remarkable brown.

Our much loved (though at times exasperating) girl Lucy, sleeping on the day bed.
