Looney Lucy

After my beloved dog Bamboo died, we took a small dog break until pressure from the kids was driving me crazy and we started our search for the next perfect family dog.  After much discussion (about an hour), we decided on a labradoodle.  They don't shed, they are very smart, and love people and dogs..actually they love anything that is breathing.  We piled into the car and headed to Caroll County, where we observed the litter of puppies screech across the yard.  We picked Lucy because she couldn't stop wagging her tail.
The ride home was interesting-she threw up and drooled..obviously never been in a car before.  That mighta been the first sign.
So, onto the life of a puppy.  Here is a small list of items consumed by our lovable dog: 12 shoes, 5 pairs of underwear, couple of pillows, a camera, speakers for an ipod, hats, the couch, Alan's rose bushes, and various library books. 
She is now approaching 3 years old and has been a little more controlled in her habits.  However, she has moments of devil possession in our absence-yesterday she ate my shoe.  And 2 weeks ago, she ate Maddie's 265 dollar retainer.  Things are looking up!
