And Lucy makes four...

Chip and I have talked about getting Riley a dog friend, but we didn't know if we wanted to adopt a dog needing a home or get another puppy.. Last Saturday our question was answered when I took Riley to the dog park to play and run with the other dogs. When I pulled up, there were pugs everywhere. Apparently there was an event called "Pugs in the Park" that was going on. I grew up having pugs and love their little smooshed up faces and their snorting noses. Riley played with them like she plays with my parent's pug. She was a bully. There was one pug there that the rescue group had just received from a local kill shelter. She was so small (probably the smallest I have ever seen) and she was two years old, the same age as Riley. The only problem was that she was high heartworm positive and would have to undergo treatment before being adopted. I immediately called Chip and texted him a picture and told him we HAD to have this dog. I told the rescue group we were very interested. The next day I filled out the application and e-mailed them to find out if we could foster her through her treatment, then adopt her. They said yes, but Chip still hadn't met her so she came over Monday before starting her treatment and Riley and Lucy played so hard and Chip fell in love with her. Riley is a little confused now because Lucy must be confined to her crate for 2 1/2 months while getting her heartworm treatment. Riley and Lucy want to play, but they can't right now. Once Lucy is heartworm-free, Riley and Lucy will be best friends! Lucy is such a laid back, sweet dog and Riley is so wild so this might be interesting, but we are excited about our newest addition!
