As Lucy's person, I can't help noticing metaphors as she learns stuff. (Most recent are near the top.)

Pure unedited joy. No wonder we love 'em.

September 2010 and the Doodle is a year old

                     Dog show wannabe                                   That beach wears a girl out                                     Where's the head?                         

A Year on the Front Porch . . .

Doggie heaven at the Ballard Seafood Fest

"This car is ME!"

 Why didn't I think of this?

How to take a risk . . .                                                                           Over her head--& the back end isn't swimming yet . . .

Separated at birth?

Lucy Doodle is becoming a regular at the Ballard Sunday Market.
And as of her 7-month birthday, she's a good sport about carrying the groceries.

Good thing she loves the beach. I'd have had to start over with a new dog.

If you listen to your intuition--and the window happens to be down--you'll know just what to do.

Sometimes when you think you've found an ordinary tennis ball, it's something else entirely.

Figure out what you were put on earth to do, and dive in.

Progress feels great. Celebration does too.

When taking a big risk, it's ok to return to contemplation.
