Introducing Lucy – new patchwork project

By

Last week, my husband started talking about going to see his sister by himself. Now, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mind him going or going by himself. However, I wanted to go just to get out of the house for a few hours. So finally, he agreed and then made a confession:
He and his sister had teamed up and together got me a special present of a puppy.
I was so surprised. I wasn’t sure if I was ready or not for another puppy. I tried to dissuade him, but no, he said he felt sorry for me because I was sad all the time from missing SheliBean and then said Shelibean would want me to be happy.

I walked into his sister’s home and saw her holding this wee furry lovely. She handed her to me. My doubts immediately melted, when I held the cutie-pie in my arms, she was so snuggly and sweet.

This puppy is about 4 1/2 months old, female, half long haired chihuahua and half deer legged chihuahua. She’s got long legs and super slender body. It’s going to be fun watching her grow into adulthood. Because of the mix, we don’t know how big she’ll get.
It took me a few days to settle on a name. I went through hundreds of names and when I said Lucy, she perked up her ears. So Lucy she is. It fits her too.
The lady who owned her, called her Foxy. She does favor a fox, but also a deer, kangaroo and has bouts of zoomies that remind us of the Tasmanian-devil cartoons. lol

I hadn’t been in a mood to crochet since SheliBean passed-on back in January, he was my crochet buddy. I felt so lost without him.  A couple weeks ago, I felt it necessary, to make myself start a new crochet project. I needed to go on. I decided to try to make a patchwork blanket, small squares not a lot of commitment when making them. No hurry to finish either. It was a sad effort.
Then, Lucy joined our family. I continue to struggle, but it’s a bit easier.
Anyway, so here she is, our new little girl: Lucy, my new crochet buddy.

Wishing you all a happy rest of the week.

  5. She looks so sweet! We were in the same boat after we lost our Max three years ago. We weren’t planning to get another dog, and then saw Bandit’s litter and before we knew it, we were committed. He is a joy and a handful, but he is what we needed. Enjoy your little Lucy!

    • Thanks so much Kathy,
      You’re right, Lucy’s a sweet natured girl. I really was unsure, but I couldn’t turn away when the adorable new bundle of joy touched my heart. It’s heartbreaking that you lost Max. I understand how crushing that was. I’m glad you saw Bandit’s litter. It’s healing to have him to bring life to your home and heart. ❤️

      Yep, she’s officially a part of our family. She’s such a joy filled little girl. One thing’s for sure, we’re getting a lot of exercise with her here. She is a cute ball energy. 😊
